So.. we all know the story. Bcdedit, DSEO, self-signing and all. But did you know:
- until Vista SP1 the later wasn't needed?
- XP 64-bit (yes, it existed) didn't need signing at all?
- Malware used to dexterously bypass the enforcement?
- and Microsoft attempt to patch this further tightened requirements? KB2506014
- DRM compliant (graphics/audio) and boot-start drivers require additional signing?
- W10 and Secure boot enabled systems have even stricter policies? [possible workaround]
Watermarks can possibly be tinkered with this
EDIT: everything from Α to Ω [clause]
EDIT2: Loading unsigned code into kernel in Windows 10 (64) with help of VMware Workstation Pro/Player design flaw (should work up to Player 12.5.2)
