Crowdstrike. You've heard about it. The cybersecurity disasters that hit over 8 million devices, caused half the world's commerce to grind to a halt in a matter of minutes. There's a non-zero chance that you were effected by it in some way. Whether your work computer was down or you were stranded at an airport for days… the Crowdstrike incident proves that kernel-mode software is an unnecessary liability-even if it's presented as a solution to a legitimate problem. You see what happened was Crowdstrike markets their "Falcon Sensor" software as a proactive solution against malicious programs. You can boil this down to malware and unauthorized access. The problem arose because Falcon Sensor is installed at the kernel level. It's called kernel-mode and it means that the program has nearly complete, unfettered access to your system. But it also means that if the program crashes, it will take down the entire computer with it. And that's what happened last week when Crowdstrike pushed an update to their malware definitions that put 8.5 million devices into a BSOD loop. Now, this is a gaming channel. So what does any of this have to do with gaming? Well, it just so happens that Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye, EA Anti Cheat, Vanguard and others are all kernel-mode applications… just like Crowdstrike's "Falcon Sensor". But, there's a critical difference here. Falcon Sensor is software (ostensibly) created by cybersecurity experts. Guess what video game developers are not security experts.
