> The mod injects only in the process Winlogon.exe, and exits once the handle of the memory area is closed. It does not hook any functions.
Yep. Sure. Going to let a Russian utility fuck with winlogon.exe. Excellent idea.

You are right in principle, but there is a varying degree to which different governments actually oppress people and there are certain patterns of what to expect from which.
I would not trust american company, like msft to not snitch to me to US government either, but the likehood of random shmuk being coopted is much more likely in one case as opposed to another.
I don't think Russians actually live in fear of the big brother, I wouldn't be friends with so many Russian femboys if that really was the case. But what do I know, it could all be a conspiracy.
Edit: I also don't understand how torching police hqs makes the world a better, more peaceful place. At best, you'll just end up creating another monopoly on violence… @.@
I'm not sure what it has to do with anything, other than you own ideas about what oppressive governments are up to.
>makes the world a better, more peaceful place.
the chain has to be yanked from time to time, otherwise the thing at the end of it tends to forget you are holding it.
Are you sure about this? The US, like most countries with extensive intelligence capabilities, does not have a good track record of convincing their citizens of doing shady things [1].

Honestly, with the prevailaince of ransomware attacks, unless you're a literal hermit, it shouldn't be out of anyone's threat profile.
You might say that many users don't care about mod development and don't need it. I agree, and I have it on my list to create a lite Windhawk version which doesn't depend on VSCodium.
Note that VSCodium is only used for the UI. When Windhawk is running in the background, its memory consumption is a couple of MB.
Thanks for this by the way. Carrying the torch of Windows modding in the future!
That's mostly irrelevant because all the thing baddies want to do with your computer, they can do without touching winlogon or even getting admin.
