Crowdstrike sounds like the name a of a security vulnerability and now it is.
Already see the articles… “50% of computers infected with crowdstrike”
Kinda ironic that it’s called CrowdStrike, cuz it sure as hell struck a huge crowd of systems!
Well done CrowdStrike crew, maybe you guys will start testing your stuff before deploying to the public… 🤦♂️
Not at least until they fire their CEO

I’m curious what would he the definition of Ring 0 anti-cheat
There’s a bunch of game studios that think they need to use ring zero to prevent cheaters. And basically the user is just told ‘trust me bro’ that they’re not going to mess up your system.

Riot games just recently added it I believe.
I personally refuse to play any game that is ring zero. And this big outage is a clear example as to why it’s a bad idea to give random devs unlimited access to your machine.
Rito adding Vanguard to LoL was the reason why I finally deleted the game, although I moved to DOTA after the butterfly incident
Anti-cheat software, like anti-virus software, tens to work ar ring-0.
Here’s a decent definition: https://levvvel.com/games-with-kernel-level-anti-cheat-software/
As I understand, on Windows, this is implemented by writing a kernel-mode device driver. On Linux, you’d need to load a kernel module.
Time to consider a name change, guys
