One might suspect that the reason Microsoft is so interested in helping Linux is that their own Azure Cloud Services run (in large part) on Linux, not Windows Server. Linux is the OS Of The Cloud for a good reason, and it's great that Microsoft is supporting that view.

Microsoft love Linux so much ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Would using firejail on your browser and email stop something from being downloaded into memory?

Linux is a monolithic kernal meaning that if one part of the kernal is “infected” by a non file attack, the whole system has to be rebooted.

The alternative architecture would be a micro kernal (Minux3) that can re-start OS level services. In Minux, if a low level driver stops working, it can be restarted ... almost like it was a service.

This could potentially provide a very strong defense against this type of attack by regularly restarting drivers and or services.

A properly locked-down server would, of course, also mitigate things somewhat.

Do ya think?

The policy set under the SHODDY MASTER Bill Gates had Microsoft have product security which was terrible — FOR DECADES and
used their monopoly status to be able to ignore any significant correction — a truly disgraceful business practice.

If the software was done correctly, from the start, there would be no such vulnerabilities. Bad practices up and down the levels of employees/management.

SO MicroShoddy is NOT the one who should be touting their ‘security’ accomplishments, nor helping anyone else.

Might want to do a little research. Azure is not platformed on Linux.

The large multi-national bank I work for has a substantial footprint on Azure now, RedHat Linux being the predominant OS we deploy there. Personally, I have two Ubuntu Linux Servers running on Azure. This is the first I'm reading of this capability, thank you so much for posting about it. I'm curious to know from our Cloud Engineering Team today if they've enabled this capability in our environment on Azure. :-)
