'Shadow' claims ....

That the Kaspersky *FREE* 'Rescue Disk' is a Linux Dist with a scanning
engine, which is examined by the NSA for malware every single day.

https://support.kaspersky.co.uk/viruses/krd18

How could 'Shadow' POSSIBLY know that?!!

Do YOU believe him, a retired foreign doctor, living in Brazil?

On the balance of probabilities I would guess anyone involved in
producing malware on the scale of the Yanks would monitor AV's for signs
that their pooch has been screwed. In fact, I would consider it gross
negligence if they aren't.

They release a new version every day, with updated malware
defs and sometimes tweaks to the heuristic engines.
As Pooh said, it would be stupid to assume the NSA does NOT
examine it at every new version.
Did I say stupid?

You've made that claim before, and when asked, you weren't able to back it
up. Would you care to try again?

Meanwhile, *YOU* lie on a daily basis. What's wrong with you? Is it related

That, unfortunately, is true of you. In particular it is true of you
when you state that he lies and then cannot demonstrate even one lie.
Your reputation is such that when you say that someone else is lying, it
is automatically assumed by many, including myself, that they are
telling the truth, you are lying about them, and the reason is simple{
the truth hurts you.

The KRD disc is noteworthy, in that it has
a registry editor on board. There's an icon

The executable can "probably" be copied to your "normal"
Distro and used from there. Either it's statically linked or it uses
everyday libs (I didn't check).
Not sure if that's legal...

What does that mean in fact? What's really wrong with it, and what kind

Are you doing this on Windows now, or on a Mac ?
I can guess if you like.

A .dmg can be disassembled into parts. I used to do
that at one time, on my Mac G4 in a bygone era. A part
of getting something to run, relied on users being
able to get inside and fix something. That's how I
know the format isn't a barrier to entry, like an
Installshield might be.

It's possible that .dmg has an autorun capability,
so that "things start to run for the user, without
effort". And such a mechanism would be a good attack
surface for malware. Like, if you downloaded a
..dmg from an untrusted site and tried to open it.

I can probably simulate this a little bit.

I used to use Firefox on the G4 (PowerPC based)
(because at the time, Safari didn't render all web
pages well) and the file came as a .dmg. I can get
one of these today for a look.

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/fire...x%2070.0.1.dmg

And you can see that 7ZIP on Windows, has no problem
inspecting what is inside a .dmg. Using your Mac
specific knowledge, you can look at the specimen
you have acquired, and see if there are any issues
of note. I'm sure there's a TN (Apple Technical Note),
or someone in a Mac group, who can help with attack
vectors or autorun mechanisms with such things.

https://i.postimg.cc/fb3hqwYT/7-ZIP-...mine-a-DMG.gif

In that picture, you can see there is a code signing
resource, so in principle, an executable can be checked
for adulteration since it left the hands of the developer.
But stuff like this, there's always someone out there
who has figured out a way to fuzz such things and
break them. So the warning is about "unknown attack
vectors. based on the ability to autorun stuff
from a .dmg". And that only applies if, somehow,
the machine is deciding it *must* open that .dmg
right away. That would take two levels of autorun
to do that.

On Windows, autorun has been partially shut off, to
reduce the attack surface caused by it. But some people
on the Internet, feel Microsoft didn't do enough,
and at least one dude was showing how to use
SRP to prevent any "autorun.inf" file from
being executed on Windows. So that's a way to
harden Windows (a tiny bit), from inserted media attacks.
