* This is placed behind an expert wall (Ctrl-Alt-E) on account that:
- If you happen to boot a Windows To Go drive in S Mode on a computer, it may set any
existing Windows installation there to S Mode as well, *even if their disk is offline!*
- It can be *exceedingly* tricky to get out of S Mode, as the SkuPolicyRequired registry
trick alone may not be enough (i.e. You can have very much a Windows install in S Mode
*without* SkuPolicyRequired being set anywhere).
* Also set version to rufus-next and fix a ChangeLog typo.
* Full Flash Update (FFU) image support was added to dism with Windows 10 1709
and is an alternate way to save a virtual hard disk for restoration.
* While more modern than VHD/VHDX, FFU creation only works for drives with file
systems that Windows natively recognizes (FAT, NTFS) and that look like Windows
installation media, so you can forget about FFU'ing a Linux disk.
* The other *intentional* drawback that Microsoft added is that they don't want
anybody but themselves being able to create and restore FFU images, so, even
as they have nice FfuApplyImage()/FfuCaptureImage() calls in FfuProvider.dll
they have decided not to make these public.
* This means that, since we don't have time to spend on figuring and direct
hooking internal DLL calls for x86_32, x86_64, ARM and ARM64 (and worrying
that Microsoft may ever so slightly change their DLL between revs to break
our hooks), we just call on dism.exe behind the scenes to create the FFU.
* Now that we don't have to deal with Windows 7, we can use CreateVirtualDisk() to
automatically dump a physical disk to VHD/VHDX, so do just that
* Also move the relevant VHD/ISO imaging call to the appropriate source.
* This adds ZIP64 support, which is required to extract zip archives that are larger than 4GB.
* Closes#2264
* Also fix a MinGW warning in pki.c and improve the UEFI revocation messages.
* Instead of embedding the content of the most recent revoked bootloader hashes in db.h
we now parse the system's SkuSiPolicy.p7b to do so. This has the drawback of not alerting
users running Rufus on systems where SkuSiPolicy.p7b is not up to date, but I believe the
trade-off is worth it.
* We now also copy the system's SkuSiPolicy.p7b to the created media when possible (for
Windows 10 or later), so that Microsoft's WDAC UEFI revocations can apply during boot.
* Considering that alerting users to potential security breaches that may be
exploited by boot media should also be performed by application that create
them, we add detection for all the currently known revoked UEFI bootloaders,
be it the ones from the official UEFI DBX as well as the ones from Windows'
SkuSiPolicy.p7b, and warn the user when one such bootloader is detected on
their source media.
* Note that, to actually be revoked, the bootloaders flagged through SkuSiPolicy
require the copying of the .p7b to the boot media, which we are currently
not enacting but will perform in a subsequent commit.
* Also fix a Coverity warning in hash.c.
* Also revert GRUB 2 core.img to vanilla 2.06, with the hope that GRUB will
*ACTUALLY* bother to release in 2023 and we will be able to update to
GRUB 2.12 (or whatever non-sequential version they decide to go with) to
say a most welcome goodbye to this whole 2.06 incompatibility crap!
* The BlackLotus malware shows that it is possible to download individual
executables and DLLs straight from Microsoft's symbol servers, so we use
that capability to download the missing Windows 8.1 'diskcopy.dll', that
contains the flat floppy disk image with MS-DOS files we need. See:
https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/symbols-the-microsoft-way/
* Also reorder entries in the "Boot selection" dropdown.
* Also use CreateFileWithTimeout() in GetLogicalName().
* Yet another example in the long list of how not releasing your project IN A
TIMELY MANNER is creating HUGE PROBLEMS downstream... Looking at you GRUB!!!
* Closes#2233
