* 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
* MSG_900+ will be used for Windows Store translation, so add them
and makes sure these get filtered out from embedded.loc.
* Also make sure we don't get a "Translated by:" in the English version
when compiled with VS2022.
* Also add Store screenshots and update listing.csv so that we can
autogenerate and upload a complete translation update to the store.
* Not using our own FAT32 formatting may result in access errors due to
Microsoft's hare-brain handling of ESP access.
* Also update upcoming translations and copyright year.
* Update the relevant loc messages.
* Also add a -z commandline option to force the Windows version (but without letting
this option work as an override, if running on an unsupported platform).
* Also fix typos and broken URLs.
* This is required because, even though it's easy to change a local account name
post install, doing so does not change the directory name in C:\Users\
* This reverts most of 3528ca773d in order to download 'core.img' from our server instead of patching it.
* Also solve the issue of downloading a custom 'core.img' for Fedora 37, that introduced
a new 'grub_debug_is_enabled' symbol without altering their GRUB version string.
* This is accomplished by doing what the distro maintainers should have done on their
own, by appending a custom suffix to the GRUB version string.
* sr-SR is not a country code that Microsoft accepts (and from what I can see
is not valid, because it should be sr-RS).
* This has the unfortunate effect of preventing the installation of Rufus from
the Windows Store, which fails with error 0x80070057 (Invalid parameter).
* Fix this by using a country code for Serbia that Microsoft does accept: sr-Latn-RS
* Closes#2015
* First thing I'm gonna say is that, if your app validation process is unable to catch universal
installation errors like the one above, then your app validation process *SUCKS*, Microsoft!
* Hopefully, this has to do with the additional languages not being passed to MakePri's /dq
option. And there I also have to say thanks to Microsoft for *NOT* documenting how the heck
one is supposed to pass multiple languages with /dq, so that you actually end up with
<qualifier name="Language" value="en-US;ar-SA;bg-BG;..."> in priconfig.xml.
* What's that quote again? "Show me an App Store than only triples my work, and I will happily
let it take a third of my revenue"...?
* Local account is created with the same name as the current user along with an *empty* password
(which we force the user to change on next logon). This is done to assuage users who might be
weary of entering a password in a third party application, and has the benefit of enabling
autologon when the install is complete.
* Note that the creation of a local account through an answer file prevents Windows 11 22H2
from bugging users about MSA *even with an active network connection*.
* For convenience reasons, only duplication of the current username is enabled. We *may* add a
dialog to enter any random username in a future version, but for 3.20, this is all you get.
* Likewise, the locale duplication is only carried out during OOBE and *not* WinPE (which means
that you still get the initial "Windows setup language and user preferences" prompt). This is
intentional as otherwise the default screen and "Repair Windows" options are not presented.
* It's not my fault that the Windows password change screen is super ill conceived, whereas it
doesn't hide the current password field as it should when the current password is blank, and
one needs to click on a very small arrow to get the changes applied, instead of a PROMINENT
button that should intuitively have been positioned right next to "Cancel".
* If you want to complain that we should just "present the user with XYZ and be done with it",
please bear in mind that we can't add new dialogs to Rufus as willy-nilly as you believe we
can. *ANY* new UI interface requires major planning, which is the reason why, for the time
being, we are limited to reusing a simple dissociated list of checkboxes for all WUE options.
* This should produce the same output while improving compatibility with systems that have a broken VGA implementation.
* Also fix an LD error with newer gcc toolchains.
* This is enabled by default for Windows 11 images and is done to prevent the
annoying behaviour of Windows 11 *automatically* upgrading all ReFS drives
it sees to latest version, thereby instantly preventing you from accessing
these drives ever again with Windows 10.
* See: https://gist.github.com/0xbadfca11/da0598e47dd643d933dc#Mountability.
* I've never seen that watermark in the first place, therefore can't test if the option is
working, and, as opposed to the other options, users can deal with it post install anyway.
* Also ensure that we prompt for customization when selecting an install.wim.
* This moves the extended Windows 11 options (bypass TPM & Secure Boot) away from
"Image options" into a new explicit dialog, along with supplementary customization
such as enabling offline account (for Windows 11 22H2) and skipping all data
collection questions.
* This customization is now enacted through an unattend.xml file rather than offline
registry manipulation, so that this *should* also work with the Windows Store version.
* Also update arch detection and rework/reorganize upcoming translation changes.
* Note: The 'Remove "unsupported hardware" desktop watermark' option is *UNTESTED*.
* Now uses read-only NTFS drivers v1.3 from https://github.com/pbatard/ntfs-3g.
* Like previous ones, aa64, ia32 and x64 versions are Secure Boot signed (but not arm).
* Fixes the recent potential vulnerabilities found in https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g.
* Note that we have asked Microsoft to add the previous signed NTFS drivers to the UEFI
Revocation List, even as we believe that the ntfs-3g vulnerabilities are not exploitable
in the limited context of UEFI:NTFS.
* This enables the provision of Registry/Settings key IgnoreUsb01 to IgnoreUsb08 where
one can specify a USB device to ignore by providing its VID:PID as a 32-bit hex value.
* Closes#1879.
* Also update rufus.ini sample for current Rufus version.
* Also fix status display for Alt-Q.
* This reverts much of commits f6ac559f4d and 1947266837
so that we call the Windows APIs directly again, while ensuring that, by the time we load the DLLs,
sideloading mitigation has already been applied by the application.
* This is a continuation of #1877, and should help prevent re-introducing side-loading issues when we
link against new libraries, as well as allow us to drop some of the manual DLL hooking we've been
doing to prevent it, to clean up the code.
* Note that this is a bit more complex than what the stackoverflow post suggests, because we need to
create delayloaded libs for both 32-bit and 64-bit, which use a different calling convention and
therefore need to use different .def files. So there's a lot of gymkhana involved, with Makefiles
and whatnot, to get us there.
* Also simplify the use of CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_PropertyA() in dev.c since recent versions of
MinGW now have support for it.
* Also fix 2 small issues in net.c (potential overflow) and format.c (memory leak).
* Since CentOS Stream does not use the 'CentOS-8.*' labelling scheme.
* This is a follow up to #1777.
* Also fix Windows Kit location for signing scripts.
* Having two separate Visual Studio solution files, while more convenient, was a major
pain in the ass and it also required us to update versioning in the .appxmanifest for
each commit.
* Also, this new AppStore build process enables us to use the GitHub Actions executables
to further foster the complete transparency of our build process.
