The real malware is the security software we made along the way.

Now threat actors know what EDR they are running and can craft malware to sneak past it. yay(!)

This is, in a lot of ways, impressive. This is CrowdStrike going full “Hold my beer!” about people talking about what bad production deploy fuckups they made.

You know you’ve done something special when you take down somebody else’s production system.

I’m volunteering to hold their beer.

Everyone remember to sue the services not able to provide their respective service. Teach them to take better care of their IT landscape.

I genuinely can’t tell at whom you are addressing this. Those claiming it is a Windows problem or those that say otherwise?

daellat ,

Hi, idiot here. Can you explain how it is a windows problem?

aniki ,

If you patch a security vulnerability, who’s fault is the vulnerability? If the OS didn’t suck, why does it need a 90 billion dollar operation to unfuck it?

Redhat is VALUED at less than that.

It’s a fucking windows problem.

ricecake ,

Sure, but they weren’t patching a windows vulnerability, windows software, or a security issue, they were updating their software.

I’m all for blaming Microsoft for shit, but “third party software update causes boot problem” isn’t exactly anything they caused or did.

You also missed that the same software is deployed on Mac and Linux hosts.

Hell, they specifically call out their redhat partnership: www.crowdstrike.com/partners/falcon-for-red-hat/

Are the Mac and Linux machines having BSOD (-style) issues and trouble booting?

candybrie ,

No, because CrowdStrike didn’t bork the drivers for those systems. They could have, though.

How the fuck did my Fedora just bluescreen?? Crowdstrike!

audience laughter, freeze-frame

Crowdstrike completely screwed the pooch with this deploy but ideally, Windows wouldn’t get crashed by a bas 3rd party software update. Although, the crashes may be by design in a way. If you don’t want your machine running without the security software running, and if the security software is buggy and won’t start up, maybe the safest thing is to not start up?

Are we acting like Linux couldn’t have the same thing happen to it? There are plenty of things that can break boot.

CrowdStrike also supports Linux and if they fucked up a Windows patch, they could very well fuck up a linux one too. If they ever pushed a broken update on Linux endpoints, it could very well cause a kernel panic.

Kusimulkku ,

It’s a problem affecting Windows, not problem caused by Windows I guess.

daellat ,

That’s what I was thinking so I was curious what the argument would be
