[@yashkhd1100]

@Hitesh I'm with Arpit on this. Essentially, for deep security scan CrorwdStrike runs on very low level Kernal mode. All hardware drivers as well runs in this mode. Now Microsoft obviously can't control all external devides and all who are pushing all kind of drivers to support their devices. Now one can argu that why MS is implementing protection around this. The issue is pushing protection(think that as exception theoratically) will definately degrade full system performance as this will affect everthing your TCP/IP stack,Graphics driver etc. So like everything else in software there is a tradeoff here.

[@HiteshCodeLab]

True that. Software can do that and OS cannot control that

[@bhaskarmahajan98]

Agree with @Hitesh. Apple (Mac OS) is a good example on how to avoid such issues. They have moved away from their kernel extensions to system + network extensions which doesn't allow direct kernel access to any third party software and only expose Apple tested APIs to do low level high privileged stuff. And kernel is one of the most critical component of the OS so it should be protected at all costs by the OS (manufacturer) itself.

[@rv_PH]

You have a strong point about MS taking a slice of the blame; perhaps because it _IS_ MS after all? Meaning that despite its dominance in enterprise/network or enterprise-scale networks usage, MS is and has always been vulnerable unlike the more robust-or less prone to vulnerabilities-UNIX-based OS-es. After dominating the world's desktops, what MS needs to do is really, _really_ and seriously upscale / upgrade its very core such that enterprises that pay tons of money for its "operability" already have their sense of security built in from the get-go, instead of purchasing MS for its enterprise operations and, necessarily, acquire the services of a 3rd party security guard along with it.

[@seanplynch]

It’s not a Microsoft or Crowdstrike problem. At the end of the day mission critical systems should not be reliant upon 3rd party software which has kernel level privileges in order to survive in the wild. My minimalist-built FreeBSD servers (for instance) are of virtually no risk. The only problem today is with people rubber stamping poor systems architecture

correction in this video or misinformation, there is no Microsoft server down, or if you install Microsoft 365 it will crash it will not, or pirated Microsoft will not crash or original will crash, if you have Crowdstrik original with auto-update on your computer will crash ,wanted to restore computer just formate c disk and again install windows, second method if have files in c drive use bootable pendrive go to install windows screen pressing Shift+F10 open cmd ,delete that file located c:\windows\system32\Drivers\CrowdStrike\C-000000291*.sys delete this file using cmd command third method copy all folder from user public and private to drive d or any drive or to same bootable pendrive using cmd then format c drive and again install new windows, last method do same thing but in fail-safe mode

[@the_debjitghosh]

I think as a programmer myself, this can happen to any company it doesn't depend on how big it is. No company should be blamed. People are working very hard. Crowdstrike resolved the issue as earliest as possible. In our daily life, we get into many errors and we solve it. Nowadays the social network people who don't know how to boot the computer in safe mode(which should be known to every computer handling person) opens their social site and post it to show their intelligence which is a dumb move. And Microsoft can't handle all security issues. So Crowstrike as a cybersecurity company resolve those issues.

Typically, a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) cannot be recovered remotely. A BSOD usually indicates a serious system error on a Windows-based computer, often requiring physical access to the machine to diagnose and resolve the issue. Remote access tools may allow technicians to view the screen and potentially assist in diagnosing the problem, but recovery generally involves hands-on troubleshooting and repair.
