x64 driver signature override ideas

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 (and up to beta 2 of Vista) 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)

EDIT3: final profit!
