Mmhmm, ASM is still not a "programming language."

An assembly language is a low-level programming language for a computer, or other programmable device, in which there is a very strong (generally one-to-one) correspondence between the language and the architecture's machine code instructions.

You towed the line for Secrets, Ostros, and other smoke blowers. I centered the discussion on more transparency and you went with technicality and distraction to detract from the privacy issue.

You didn't even do that. Alaron did, long before you started spouting nonsense. However, he could actually comment on the context of the situation because he has technical knowledge, whereas you're just going full-tinfoil without any understanding of the actual topic at hand.

How about the fact you demonstrated that you are completely oblivious to the AV problem? Seems you have just been posting out of your ass all this time in an effort to derail. Wondering who the ass is again?

I already responded to your point regarding the antivirus warnings about a foreign dll file. However, now we're stuck in a double-post cycle where we're responding to one another's earlier post before seeing the second.

Oh, wait, here we go:

Mmmhmm. Who said anything about process hijacking? Who is concerned about process hijacking?

I am concerned about process scanning. The P99 community at large is mostly concerned about process scanning.

I wonder what made up fictional concerns and strawmen distraction you are going to create next?

Why don't you read the actual thread content? If you had followed the conversation between myself, Ostros, and Alaron, then you would have seen us discussing how swapping a dll could lead to it obtaining information on unassociated processes. This would require the code in the dll to hijack the Everquest process and inject other code into the web browser (or whatever it's trying to access). This is where the topic of process hijacking originates from.

I'm not sure if I agree with you. In what sense are those two events separate?

The antivirus software detects a foreign dll file simply by virtue of that dll file having been modified by a third party. However, if the code in that dll file were to, say, try to grant the Everquest process administrative privileges when the program was clearly not designed to do so, wouldn't there be an additional warning or intervention by the antivirus software?
