I think it's more the design of boundaries within the OS. You pretty much need root.

What does most modern malware do?

1. Mines buttcoins
2. Encrypts files for ransom
3. Steals user data
4. Displays ads to the user
5. Attempts to defraud the user
6. Joins a botnet

None of those things require root.

The old model of viruses was that they weren't targeting the user or their data, they wanted to either destroy or gain persistence on the system as a whole. Unix permissions have always been great at this, and Windows hasn't been too bad either since NT's been a thing. It took until the Vista era to get the Windows application ecosystem to finally accept that they weren't allowed to do whatever they wanted anymore because of legacy from the 9x era, but the OS itself has been able to be used in as secure of a manner as a Unix system for a long time.

Modern malware doesn't care all that much about the system as a whole, for the most part. If you fall for the next cryptolocker no one cares that your system itself is still bootable when all the network shares you had mounted are full of ransom notes and garbage files. Any user who has enough privilege to play a 3D game can mine any cryptocurrency you want to name. Adware pretty much needs to be running as the user and if it did have root would likely only use it to invade other user profiles that may exist on the system.

Those sorts of stats are just estimates, and as the article mentions they vary widely between vendors. Most of them derive their stats only from placing tracking things on a small selection of websites.

God, I know you're messing around, but that's actually a really amazing question.

If the admin had written a powershell script to enforce a retention policy, automatically deleting old emails, this would never have been an issue.

What do y’all use for a central KB management tool? Our environment has plenty of documentation for things but it’s essentially a dump of various word and excels in a file share. It’s driving me mad trying to look up configurations and general knowledge of these servers.

Confluence, usually. Our devs have switched over to keeping their docs in github though, which seems like an interesting approach.

I would literally never hire someone like this, even if they knew their poo poo. Once you start, feel free to show up a in a t-shirt and jeans I do it whenever I feel like, but for the interview I expect you to be putting your best foot forward. If that's the best you can muster for an interview, I have my doubts you will put forth real effort.

IE still has superior hooks into Windows. Links to network files, control of Com devices, deeper Java integration all work better in IE.

The downsides are so severe that IE should still be avoided unless absolutely necessary. But I can see workflows that just fit IE better than Chrome.

Yeah as far as I can see the RemoteApp workflow is still a bit poo poo if you're not running IE with the ActiveX launcher. I think Server 2016 makes improvements here.

IE won't be disabled until some of the biggest retailers on earth actually update their loving web portals. We have one huge customer that we need to go into IE and change what version it's emulating for different sections of their website. It's dumb as hell.

You're technically correct (the best kind) but my response was to his question, which was about the late 90s and early 2000s. Modern malware is a whole different can of worms (ha) and it's been interesting to watch things evolve over the last couple of decades.

Point of sale portals. Not having to right-click copy link for network folder destinations. As Thants pointed out, some remoteapp workflows.

I feel like this is key, people compare a $5.95 in n out burger to something they paid $10 for elsewhere. I don't think I've been to a Whataburger, but compared to Five Guys I feel in n out is vastly superior.
