CrowdStrike’s client that resides on the endpoints is operating at the kernel level, meaning it’s got the “keys to the castle” so it can bork bad stuff however necessary when it shows up. That weakness is pretty clear when you have a situation like this. Methinks someone screwed up and released

I read the procedure this morning. Boot up windows in safe mode, find some specific crowdstrike config file and delete it, then the machine should boot up normally and something else magic happens with a new file to get it all happy again. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jul 19, 2024, at 2:31 PM, da

Oh yeah, Crowdstrike have just about admitted that they screwed up, they've already released a patch. I just now realized that I have a bunch of actual systems in a lab that I need for next week's class which I can't access. There is one I NEED to the point where I cannot run class without it.

That’s why I’m almost positive it’s something configuration related, rather than something to do with signatures or Bad Actor stuff. Once I know more I’ll report back. -D > On Jul 19, 2024, at 11:27 AM, Curt Raymond wrote: > > Its also Windows only. > > -Curt > > > > > On Friday, July 19

That’s the beauty of running VMs for customer-facing applications like yours that’s used for training. Spin up new ones each time, tear them down when you’re done. Rinse, lather, repeat. One bad thing for CrowdStrike out of this besides the obvious - now people know what these companies are usi

Correct. CrowdStrike updates continuously, that is, it constantly “watches” the environment, and when it sees a machine that isn’t up to date, it immediately pushes a patch/update. However, if the client that resides on the machine is borked, it’s got to be fixed manually, that is, by someone lo

My former employer uses CrowdStrike. It’s a wonderful product and does a lot of really geat things from a security standpoint. That said, it’s also heavily embedded in the endpoints, so if something goes south, well, I guess today is a good example. As I understand it, there was an update or pa
