      The hypervisor bypass requires you to give a third-party program the highest level of security access your operating system has. The kind of access you have to reboot your system to grant because it can’t be done while the OS’s security system is currently running. It is extremely inadvisable to do this ever, for any reason, unless you are an educated expert or the system is disposable.

            That only works on kids who’ve yet to experience their first bridge jump, frankly. As soon as I found out how to do it properly, that adage was as hollow & out-of-touch as “finish your plate”, “boys’ll be boys”, “do as I say”, et al.

              I went cliff jumping in my youth as well lol. But honestly being a smart ass I still always defsulted to “Well theyre probably jumping for good reason, so yes?”

        You should read the article.

        Version 3 of the bypass only requires you disable core isolation.

        Still increasing your attack surface, but dramatically less than the earlier method that you’re referencing.
