One step closer to enforcing hardware attestation on desktops. Our society is fucked.

>>106140925
At least you aren't forced video games. Meanwhile, banks and governments force you to install their mobile apps to access essential services, and of course, they all use Play Integrity DRM so that you can't runthem if your device is rooted or has an unlocked bootloader.

>>106140968
This is going to be enforced on browsers as well.

>>106140908 (OP)
So enable secure boot, what's the problem?

>>106141101
"People" on this site think it's secure boot is some botnet shit

>>106141174
It's going to get used to enforce integrity of your system by remote parties. Imagine a site forcing you to only use an allowed browser, goodbye libre chromium forks.

Is it the new Battlefield game?

>>106141174
more like it doesn't work with anything that's not windows or a few normie distros, and completely falls apart if you want the kernel to be the bootloader (efistub)

I'm not a pedophile. Does this affect me in any way?

why would a game need secure boot

>>106140925
You can still use Linux on secure boot. Jesus fucking christ this board is dogshit.
>>106141101
People are genuinely retarded and schizo and don't understand how SecureBoot works.

>>106141501
DRM, anticheat, attestation

>>106141551
>You can still use Linux on secure boot. Jesus fucking christ this board is dogshit.
Too bad that in the near future nothing is going to respect your choice of OS thanks to remote attestation

Zoomers don't know shit about computers. They're downloading their rootkit and doing this shit.

>>106141581
You're fucking retarded and the idea of remote machines / timesharing is nothing new. Literally most people started off with remote based console before personal computers became reasonably priced. Regardless remote machines has always been a thing in enterprise even before MUH CLOUD.

>>106141566
don't they all already implement kernelspace utilities? isn't it enough?

>>106141613
Secure boot prevents rootkits.

>>106141101
There's people that have Windows 11 installed with legacy MBR. Enabling Secure Boot causes Windows not to boot unless you convert your installation.

>>106141617
Do you even know what remote attestation is?
Let's say you want to connect somehere you have to cryptographically prove you booted an untampeted OS under secure boot, that's what TPM is for.
Let's say you booted the OS under secure boot, now it can run processes inside VBS enclaves and there's nothing you can do touch these processes, no code injection, no hooks, no modification, nothing.
This is the use case here.

>>106141632
Kernel anticheat is ineffective. That's why they need a hardware approach based on isolation.

>>106140968
Tell them fuck off

> In 2011, Microsoft announced that computers certified to run its Windows 8 operating system had to ship with Microsoft's public key enrolled and Secure Boot enabled, which implies that using UEFI is a requirement for these devices

That's enough. Not enabling your shit, glowie.

>>106141694
As if I had a choice. Here in France, the France Identité app isn't really required for anything yet, but pretty much all banks force you to use their mobile apps for 2FA. Apparently TOTP and CTAP authenticators aren't good enough for them. And no, I can't just tell banks to "fuck off" because I'm not a NEET who gets to leech on his parents.

The beginning of the end. Normie games requiring secureboot (and in due course TPM, after win10 support is forcibly dropped from microSAAR pressure). Need a VPN to bypass age verification to access content (((they))) deem harmful to children (read, more surveillance). News about protests and boatwogs is censored on social media. It's unironically only going to get worse.

>>106141688
Until the day this stuff is broken and proven to be innefective as well, then what?
This shit is a never-ending slippery slope, and the endgame is all devices becoming cloud-based dumb terminals and you're required to give an iris scan, a blood sample and a picture of your poophole to log in.

>>106141688
it's effective to a degree. there are hardware cheat setups that can go around it, but for the most part it's pretty good for catching vast majority of cheats. (i'm against it and no longer play anything that requires it, just saying)

All OEM Windows PCs have had secure boot enabled since Windows 8.0 13 years ago. This is a schizo sperg problem only.

>>106141820
>Until the day this stuff is broken and proven to be innefective as well, then what?
They'll send a guy who smells like shit and has a thick accent to your home to ensure that you don't use any suspicious software. He'll also inspect your whole home and stand behind you, breathing on your neck, while you play to make sure no cheats are used.

>>106141820
>Until the day this stuff is broken and proven to be innefective as well, then what?
You're acting like security can't improve every time it gets broken, it does all the time. It's going to be a pain in the ass for the end user. We had relative freedom before that shit, now we're at the mercy of security researchers and their ability to continuously break shit.

>>106141848
11 IOT LTSC has it disabled by default.

solution: cheating unexpected and part of the game

>>106141551
No you can't. M$ signs some bootloader stub and anyone who cares about attestation will say that stub doesn't go far enough, especially because you can mokutil sign anything haram anyway. It will be niggerlisted.

When they say secureboot, they mean M$ signed bootloaded Windows with signed early boot EFI modules.

>>106141848
You don't understand what they can do once it gets adopted enough.

>>106141632
People learned they could early boot efi shit that won't get unloaded and use that to do cheats outside of the purview of the Windows kernel and any shitware anticheat. They keep playing cat and mouse and the ultimate cat will be full hardware attestation where your only escape will be exploits against valid signed drivers and hardware and praying.

jesus christ, we had all these discussions over 13 years ago and anyone with a brain realised this shit is just more control measures being forced upon us

>>106142037
To be fair there is nothing wrong with them in theory. In practice though, these tools are used to secure the device from the user.

>>106141953
>They keep playing cat and mouse and the ultimate cat will be full hardware attestation where your only escape will be exploits against valid signed drivers and hardware and praying.
Not even that, thanks to isolation you won't be able to do shit even if you're ring0, gotta pwn the hypervisor.

>>106141883
Aka a Windows release designed for ATMs and Self checkouts, not normal desktop use, proving my point. Microsoft is going to crack down hard on LTSC people who think they found a "loophole". Nvidia is already not supporting LTSC until 2032.

>>106141688
i don't get it. how does it help if you can still load modules from userspace after boot? if it does enforce signatures even after the boot then why is it called "secure boot" anyway
the only reasonable case i can think of is maybe preventing hypervisor tricks? but not sure if thats even related.

>>106142162
Kernel level anti cheat authorized by Microsoft allows system level access to monitor for cheats. Secure Boot makes it so cheats can't install themselves at the kernel level.

>>106142176
microsoft can barely manage the scheduler, how can you expect them to manage anticheat authorisations

>>106142216
Because they already do and have done so for a decade.

DRM everywhere, as simple as.
that's the ultimate goal since windows 8 when they became the secure boot jailer and strong armed the entire world to use their own PK/KEK/DB/DBX.
btw the PK and certs in DB/DBX are expiring in 2026 so many computers won't boot in secure boot more unless updated by the user or motherboard manufacturer.
I wonder why no one is talking about this funny shitshow currently in the making.

>Virtualization-based security, or VBS, uses hardware virtualization and the Windows hypervisor to create an isolated virtual environment that becomes the root of trust of the OS that assumes the kernel can be compromised.

>One such example security solution is memory integrity, which protects and hardens Windows by running kernel mode code integrity within the isolated virtual environment of VBS. Kernel mode code integrity is the Windows process that checks all kernel mode drivers and binaries before they're started, and prevents unsigned or untrusted drivers or system files from being loaded into system memory. Memory integrity also restricts kernel memory allocations that could be used to compromise the system, ensuring that kernel memory pages are only made executable after passing code integrity checks inside the secure runtime environment, and executable pages themselves are never writable. That way, even if there are vulnerabilities like a buffer overflow that allow malware to attempt to modify memory, executable code pages cannot be modified, and modified memory cannot be made executable.

A vulnerable driver gives you nothing you can do to modify process behavior in such case.

game "devs" can play cat and mouse with cheat devs who get paid 10x more forever or just remove the ELO ranked nonsense and rid 90% of cheaters. But they don't really care about cheating, they just want to fight it for a couple of weeks/months to get as many players in as possible, and then they just let it get raped by rage hacking trannies and hvhers

>>106142162
The point is that the OS knows everything that's loaded. It can provide the anti cheat software with a complete list of everything that's running and then the anti cheat can decide whether anything on the list is unacceptable.

It's a game by EA, obviously it's just to control your shit lmao

>>106141658
How's that even possible? Can you install Windows 11 without secure boot? My understanding is that secureboot and TPM is required.

>>106143770

>>106143803
yes but the thing is if you can manipulate the OS itself, that would also mean you can control its actions.
my question was:
>even if "secure boot" prevents users from compromising their kernel in boot process, how is it beneficial if users can still compromise the kernel at runtime?
from my understanding (see >>106143682) secure boot is more like a prerequisite and it would be meaningless without virtualization and other measures.
however thats very windows specific, i wonder how do linux compatible anti-cheats like easycheat handles it (or cant)

>hurr durr you can still boot linux
Yes, retards, but the game won't work because you didn't boot a "trusted" OS. This shit is going to be SafetyNet for the desktop and retarded gamers will be happy to use it to access their bing bing wahoo, once it gets normalized it will spread to other stuff like how Google tried to add a hardware attestation API to Chromium.

There's not a single one of these competitive anti-cheat requiring games that's good or worth your time.

>>106141640
Microsoft will literally sign your fucking rootkit for you, retard

Secure Boot just exists to reinforce the Windows Desktop monopoly.
>B-But you can enroll your own keys
99.9% of users don't know how to do that and won't bother to learn. Linux distros have to ship their own MS signed bootloader for them to work out of the box on 99% of modern hardware. It's such a fucking joke. Even a "small" hurdle can reinforce a monopoly.

Anyone can load their own keys. It is free. The market is free.

cheaters are fucking cancer online and taking measures against them is good. I don't buy into the privacy concerns there are with SecureBoot since you can use your own keys, the rest can be either categorized as skill issue or schizo like you said yourself. There are some legit edge cases that are negatively impacted by the requirement like steam deck players, but I accept those as growing pains going from windows monopoly towards linux gaming. In 5 years any linux gaming distro will come with Secureboot enabled by default, with MOK or shim keys, and maybe BF6 can run on there. and the hardware will follow suit.
Gaming is a big business and they're implementing measures to keep it enjoyable. That's just how it is nowadays.

anyway I think it's retarded that you even have to do this in the first place, like people just want to play a video game not mess with their settings you see where I'm getting at
most people are not really concerned about privacy (since it doesn't exist anyway), the issue is the fact that you have to do this in the first place, if they implemented in a more user friendly way where one setting in windows was enough most people wouldn't even talk about it and the small schizo minority won't be that big of a deal

because it's another step to total corporate control. personally, I'd take it as damning that multiplayer games are so designed that everyone feels the need to cheat to begin with. None of these techniques work either, but whatever.

I use secure boot but I enrolled my own keys. My system doesn't even boot the vendor UEFI tools without me signing them now although I'm not convinced it's not backdoored somehow.

I don't play a lot of online games but I imagine these people play shit like Valorant which installs an actual rootkit and they're just too retarded to boot into their BIOS and change a single setting.

Wouldn't need all this shit if we went back to community servers. Back in the day if someone was cheating they'd just get banned from the community and they'd go pester another one.

You aren't to be trusted.

>>106150367
all the kernel level anti-cheat games are also full of cheaters still

>>106140908 (OP)
Mostly because open-beta for BF6 is coming so people want to try that. Remember that by installing this you are giving full access to your computer to EA anti-cheat.

>>106150469
No they aren't. Kernel level anti cheat massively reduces cheaters.

>>106147306
so they aren't blocking linux if you enable secureboot?

>>106140908 (OP)
What does secure boot do?
It securely brings a boot to lick.

>>106150479
Microsoft approved of it, so it's safe.

>>106150482
Funny Arma Reforger that works on Linux without problems doesn't have any of that problems and if cheater pops out it gets banned literally next day.

>>106150482
It's also insanely insecure butyouusewindows.

>>106150499
Oh Lord Thank God for MicroNigger i wouldn't be sleeping if they didn't approve it. Thank God for that niggercattle hearder Gates it wouldn't be a good world without him and his jeets.

>>106150504
How is it insecure if the code is Microsoft approved?

>>106150499
Hahaha dubs of microsoft (small and flaccid)

>>106150512
The entire OS is Microsoft approved though, so I am not sure why you think a Microsoft approved build of an application is any different. Your doublethink doesn't make any sense.

>>106150517
Are you implying microsoft is culpable if for some reason you lose your data due to them fucking up an anticheat?

>>106150482
huh weird... apex uses kernel level anticheat and banned linux users in sept 2024 and yet they... still have the exact same amount of cheaters!?

almost like its just a narrative not based on reality but surely windows users wouldnt be dumb enough to fall for that... right?

>>106150540
Yes, thats right, drink deep

>>106150540
Microshit is disgusting company full of jeets.

>>106150547
Apex doesn't use Secure Boot.
Also...
>40% drop in cheaters from banning 2.5% of the userbase
LMAO. Just like the 13/50 meme.

>>106150540
Approval is meaningless in this context;
Microsoft approves this post.

If Microsoft aren't going to do anything when kernel level rootkits inevitably go sour (Microsoft aren't going to do anything when kernel level rootkits inevitably go sour), then Microsoft's approval means nothing (Microsoft's approval means nothing).

>>106150575
>Approval is meaningless in this context
It's everything in this context. Without approval, the application cannot run at the kernel level.

>>106147214
>in other words the game is gatekeeping itself from schizos while actual shabbos goys get to enjoy another $PRODUCT
It doesn't make any sense when you consider that the execs are expecting this to be more than 4x more popular than the last BF game.

>>106150312
Bro what? Try playing at 25k premier elo. It's unbelievable. In fact, there's literally open source cheats that VAC will NEVER detect https://github.com/ekknod/EC/tree/main/projects

>>106150573
they didnt ban the linux users till october 31st 2024. banning linux users had literally zero effect. your argument fails yet again.

>>106150614
FYI Roblox has less than that. Nothing EA could do could ever make a game that successful. Even if it was F2P and ran on cell phones.

>>106141632
Windows runs in a hypervisor now because of VBS, so their VM detection has become useless. They need to know the Microsoft hypervisor is legit.

>>106149020
So true, Mr. Schwab

>senile boomer pedophile investors make retareded decisions
news at 11

soon computers are going to be treated like cars and you'll need to have registration, immatriculation, and proof of no physical tampering (no opening the case, chud, only certified mechs can install you your new hardware for $200+tip!)

are windows users really stupid enough to believe that AAA devs of all people can be trusted to write kernel-level software?

have they actually played any AAA game from the past half decade? them believing that microsoft gives a single shit about desktop users is already bizarre given the entirety of win11's history but this is just another level of delusion

>>106150331
fpbp here. I guarantee you I understand technology better than you.
maybe read the thread retard.

>>106150959
to be fair, just like the engines themselves, the "game devs" are just buying an off-the-shelf anti-cheat. that doesn't mean they should be trusted still, but just saying.

all nonfree shitware is bad though.

>>106150503
>well this milsim that doesn't attract the cheatroon audience doesn't attract cheatroons so HMM
ok buddy

>>106150547
It takes a special kind of stupid to make this claim while posting a chart that wholly disputes it.

>>106151043
its almost always one of the epic owned ones, that unreal engine 5 seal of "quality"

>>106151245
They banned linux and steamdeck in late october anon, and you can clearly see the number of cheaters spiking after it. Are windows users too stupid to look up actual news articles?

>>106151023

skill issue?
i boot into windows from grub just fine, with secure boot enabled.
