The New Security Features in Windows 11 You Should Know About 

Have you heard of catalog signatures before? 🤔

And on SHA1 : SHAttered Attack: In 2017, Google and CWI Amsterdam announced a practical collision attack on SHA-1, known as the SHAttered attack. They demonstrated that two distinct PDF files could be created with the same SHA-1 hash, proving the practicality of the attack and showing that SHA-1 is no longer suitable for cryptographic use.

Important side note tho, 1) a signature only tells you who made the software, it doesn't say whether it's good 2) not having a signature is not a sign that a file is bad, especially software that is open source or made by individuals they likely can't afford a code signing cert

I opened the catroot folder in order to find some cat pictures but there aren't any??? how come??

I really wish this was explained like 20 years ago...

Be nice if there was an option for an additional overlay on file icons for a unsigned / signed file. Much like the shortcut arrow overlay

Bitdefender scammio sounds like a great way of training an AI on what things a user finds suspicious. In other words, scammio could be used as a tool to make AI generated scams more difficult to detect.

It would save everyone time if that property window were wide enough to display all columns. I'm talking to you; Microsoft.

You're such an amazing guy, Thio. I always enjoy your informative videos. You invest into them so much. Appreciated :)))

This video is the only sponsor ive been interested in..Thank you for this!

I'd like to see you do a video about Windows Recall.

Thanks for the great help

thanks dude very interesting

I am amazed you haven't done a video about Recall.

Good video

I am going to ask scamio if something that takes screenshots of your computer every 10 seconds and stored them is spyware. I think it will say that it is :P

I hope you make a video about windows 11 iot enterprise ltsc.

Is the new Zone identifier thing also part of that update?Downloading a zip and opening it and eg clicking on an iso or exe will prompt you, that it’s dangerous.Whats even more confusing is, that it’s also the case of encrypted zip files.I assume windows is just passing them on to the files, when they are decompressed.But idk

Hopefully the feedback on this vid is good. If not I want you to know that this video scratches the itch about signature and rules management that has bothered me for a while. I was not in critical need of this info but I am very glad you made the vid (and that MSFT doing common sense improvements in addition to the crazy ones) Thank you

I'll never use this, but it'ss fun to know

I opened File Explorer and is not there, including after then clicking Properties

Hi from TUNIS 🇹🇳🇹🇳

files, what a rabbit hole.. just saying, thanks @ThioJoe😁

what's your cursor set? it seems oddly different from the official windows one, but i kinda like it

It's like MD5?

is this availble on Windows 10?

Probably not ever going to 11, and I've almost figured how to do the few Windows things in Linux, at which point, I won't look back.

nice

I don't get digital signatures in the property window. Win 11, latest release

Hey Joe, What is your take on windows 11 24H2 "RECALL" feature...??? Seems to me that big brother Billy Gates is including more and more ways of prying info. I'm already starting to migrate to Linux Zorin distro....

We got Windows Repositories system (like for linux) before GTA 6

One thing you didn't mention is the OSAttr entry in the tag. For signed drivers, this shows the version of Windows that the driver was signed for. In your SHA-1 example, you can see 6.3 (Windows 8.1) and 10.0 (Windows 10 or 11). I find it useful when on a driver hunt, so I can tell if the driver was intended for the OS that I'm running.

I just realized I haven't opened my laptop for a month. Thanks for the update

I still don't get it why MS keeps adding more of these "misc" security features while leaving many more important ones wide open. SMB ports are still listening on all inputs by default and is hard to block, autorun enabled by default, pulling unnecessary trash like ads from the internet for no reason, mixing system internals with web features by forcing Edge installations, complicated permission structures and UAC that doesn't work, and more. Non of these are issues on most Linux distros like CentOS or Ubuntu. I'd say this is just another trick to comfort muggles who have no idea what the principle of least privilege is.

watching this on my RPiOS Bullseye RPi4B SBC desktop....relaxed....sipping coffee...hash browns on the side....

It would be nice if you combine this to app locker to create a new video show examples of scenarios where to block things

Wasn't this feature already added to Windows 10? If so, when?

Offtopic Joe, but what browser are you using these days for security and/or normal everyday use that maybe don't need privacy

I hope they add big red arrows and circles to Windows 11 that point at new features.

it's about frickin time the Signatures tab was universal!

Gosh 2 weeks. What happened? Jk Anyways welcome back 😊

Here's one to think about...Is there going to be a way to KEEP from upgrading to 24H2 from 23H2? I have 1 computer that only runs windoz, and all the rest run Linux Mint. *I DON'T WANT IT TO UPGRADE!!*

It would be much more useful if they check signature from cert file in the same folder and with additional extintion. Need this to validate signature on documents.

And then there's legal spyware with Recall😂

Alright. When you are going to teach us how to assign modified Nvidia bios?

Wait there are people who intentionally update to 24H2

cool

Honestly, something that really annoys me is when Microsoft continues to add features in Win32... like I feel like they're just adding on to the remnant problem in Windows overall. Still a great feature though!

i thought catroot was where all the cats came from..

Not stuff for the average Joe (pun intended) but useful for some of us.

I wonder how much it costs a computer for games and another one for everything else?

This is a man!

Hey here's a video idea: What if you install Windows 11 on a system that doesn't meet the requirements? Specifically CPU and no SecureBoot. I'm wondering cause my PC doesn't meet the requirements because of its CPU (not sure why because my CPU does support PopCNT I think) and my PC doesn't have SecureBoot capabilities

This is actual insanity.

😵‍💫

Me over here not caring about updates, being stuck with error 0x80004005 and can’t cut move or rename folders

I do not have this and my windows version is 10.0.22631

Every signature means more money, more expensive product.

Would be hillarious if someone tricked this bitdefender AI to instead teach how to scam people xD With all the "AI jail-breaks" i saw... possibly

Microsoft sneaked bitlock on me. I am through with windows. Going to either Mac or Linux.

Hi

cat root cat: root: No such file or directory 😋

"dot C-A-T" 🤮 ❌ "dot cat" 😸✅

Catalog file is not a new thing. This is just a new convenience feature of Windows Explorer.

Officially made the switch to Linux goodbye Microsoft you will not be missed!

Im not updating anymore i installed atlas and im staying on 22h2

Oh great ... More stuff to get around to manipulate the windows files to be able to remove bloat...

Scamio sounds already like scam...

My Brain Runs On Linux

My .cat does Meow.

Lmao to be fair, not sure if this would matter if they pushed the literal OS-level spyware

Are you talking about the security feature where Microsoft takes snapshots every 3 seconds of everything you do on your computer??? What could possibly go wrong with that feature? Microsoft As Spyware is not secure in any way. Are we supposed to trust that company?

They add new features to legacy style windows... Please make everything looking the same in windows...

"You need to know.", the word "about" is not needed and is a dangling modifier.

Who or what decides what is trusted? Trusted is who pays Microsoft or?

why would you willingly run this spyware on your computer?

Uhhh what?

Meeeh... I'm done with Windows. Switched all to Linux Mint 2 years ago.

EARLY!!

only 28.18% interested, lol (I still use win10)

first one

i use modded windows with lots of features i dont care about security at all , i also want to develop my own security app that will be connected to a network ,mostly my phone and pc

I don't think Scamio will be very helpful over all. After all you have to be suspicious of some message/content in the first place, before you even start thinking of running it against Scamio. Otherwise the idea seems neat.

I’m sick of ads in the middle of a video. Run an overlay with the ad or make a separate video on who ever is paying you.

Windows Repair Toolbox wtf is that

The new security feature is actually a security issue, a new security hole and attack surface added by none other than Microsoft itself, also, did I mention spyware?

I like turtles

Ok But who has a windows 11?

womp womp linux ftw

I am infertile from eating scented candles. The

Microsoft has forced my hand back to Linux due to their new "'Recall" feature which will eventually make its way to every Windows installation. Unfortunately I have to keep Windows, so I'm forced to duel-boot. But what a terrible idea from a personal standpoint and a security standpoint. You know people will be able to bypass their encryption and view your passwords, blackmail you. 1984

New Features? who cares its not an OS its spywear

The best feature is not using 11

Based on the quality of your past postings, YOU ARE NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE.

installed garuda linux. all my steam games work. microsoft and windows 11 finally gone from my home. Frankly, as good and easy as current linux is i couldnt imagine paying for windows.

8:31 Redacting the password tells the audience that ThioJoe reuses passwords. Had the on-screen value been something like... jB^FWx324TAhyfan8pp&tuIqpZt6Ks%zW!!m Would have been the more-secure option.
