       "Linux would have prevented this!" literally true because my former colleague KP Singh wrote a kernel security module that lets EDR implementations load ebpf into the kernel to monitor and act on security hooks and Crowdstrike now uses that rather than requiring its own kernel module that would otherwise absolutely have allowed this to happen, so everyone please say thank you to him

       @mjg59 To my fellow Penguins, pushing this #Crowdstrike incident as a reason to replace #Windows with #Linux is probably not a good move as Crowdstrike broke Linux systems about six weeks back with a similar fuck up - at least according to people on Reddit and Hackernews.Crowdstrike is the primary failure here.  Let's kick their shit to the curb.Source: https://charcha.social/@npub1552l8p82ahvkqd8hdjkar24nk3r7rqnpsfuuz3q7cmmw6kvke48qvg7545/posts/d2e0bc7d9e1def1d1b9317f74fae787c33e8d3658c98c1d638b76dd936253560

       @Deus @mjg59 The main difference is that on Windows, security software is a necessity. Linux/Unix has many layers of security and controls built into the deepest parts of the kernel, from the beginning. Security on Windows is an afterthought and cost-center for Microsoft. On linux, Docker is effectively just a wrapper around other, pre-existing security features.

       @mjg59 Not loading arbitrary proprietary malware onto your computers that loads more of it and poorly formatted config files via a remote backdoor would have prevented it.What license was the crowdstrike Linux module under?
