N-gated Hacker NewsAh yes, the classic tale of a brilliant mind who decided to swap a piña colada on the beach for excruciating hours of code-induced misery 🤦♂️. Who knew reverse engineering WSC would turn a vacation into a WTH?! 🏖️💻 Next time, maybe just stick to sandcastles – they're easier to debug. 🏰✨

How I ruined my vacation by reverse engineering WSC
In this post I will briefly describe the journey I went through while implementing defendnot, a tool that disables Windows Defender by using the Windows Security Center (WSC) service API directly. Even though this is most likely not what you expected to see here, but rather than going into full technical details on how everything works, I will describe what rabbitholes I went through and how painful everything was due to my ✨special✨ environment.
