Nice article but what does VBS stand for? I always thought it was a Visual Basic Script.
It stands for vagina boob schlong.
I’m this context it’s Virtualization Based Security.
Or Vacation Bible School… Instructions unclear.
VBS is a software engineering acronym for: Vicious Boob Size
Vax Based Service
Please, we’re talking about Microsoft here. Very Bad Software
Close Visual Basic for Security!!!
Not to give too much credit here but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing (although the VBS name is stupid).
GrapheneOS has had Memory Integrity as a mandatory feature for a while now and is part of why they wont support the Pixel 11. Apple Silicone also has this built in and enabled. If anything, Microslop is very late to the party and I have suspicions to why.
See, the only actual issues this causes is that poorly implemented memory alloc/free calls in software no longer fly under this security requirement. Decades of shitty apps (including slop) may crash with security exceptions if they haven’t managed their memory right.
