All this could do is slow down the adoption of HD-DVD or Bluray. But it also prove that nothing is 100% secure and unbreakable.

Now Studios will be scared to publish movies on any medium. The fear of loosing money....

They need to come with a new medium that will ONLY be available for TV, with a special connector and protection. No way to connect it to any other device and to extract the information. And I bet that even this would be cracked given some time and effort.

Hypocrisy at its best. Neowin is allowing this post in BPN but when I posted my version of BackupHDDVD in the software branding section some mod deleted my thread and gave me a warring. :no:

That mod must have been uneducated, as BackupHDDVD contains nothing that violates any rules or laws. It doesn't even provided a key like like program that are used for DVD backup which are posted regularly, so even the Blu-ray/HDDVD industry can't do much about it.

Exactly .. I am not going to say who that mod was but he definitely was a noob. Oh well .. now I am stuck with this warring that I don't deserve.

Btw .. as I see doom9 is being linked here anyway .. why not link it one more time http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=121042

I'm happy that this happened because now, I can watch HD movies without worrying about region protection and HDCP.

I have a recently bought Nvidia 7900GS that is NOT HDCP compliant, and I travel a lot and like to pick up movies when I find ones I want.

I buy movies legally because I believe that people who create the content deserve my money, but it ****es me off when they limit my playback.

What movie companies should realize is that they are forcing me to go through the ripping procedure just so that I can watch the movies that I bought.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
