Yeah I saw the article that says they're legally required but until I can actually read that document where it says "thou shall give everyone ring-0" access I'm gonna call it bullshit.
If it's not ring 0, it's not full access. They are legally required to give full access.
I'll believe it when I read it.
It might not be written literally like that but for Microsoft not letting third party developers write kernel drivers for windows would be considered abusing their position in the market very fast. The problem isn't they allow kernel drivers, this is just ms throwing all the balls they can, is that they certified this very driver, as tested and stable. Without this certification most IT teams would've been more reticent to install crowdstrike's root kit in their systems.
