In 2011, Aaron Swartz was arrested after he downloaded millions of academic journal articles from JSTOR via the MIT network. He was charged under federal laws (including wire fraud and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act) with up to 13 felony counts, carrying the possibility of decades in prison, large fines, and other penalties. These federal charges eventually lead to his death in 2013.
No AI company was ever charged under federal laws.

Seems Windows 11 25H2 is finally rolling out, and they're shipping the new Administrator Protection feature. Hopefully MS should have fixed 6 bypasses I found in it during insider preview :D

@d_olex @buherator Oh yes Vergilius Project is a nice resource as well indeed! Shameless plug here but if you need up-to-date info on structures and enums, the WinDiff repo I keep up might be handy as well: https://windiff.vercel.app
It’s auto-updated from public PDBs for recent main Windows versions (Windows 10+) and updates (1 year old and less)
@ergrelet @buherator On yes, this one and Vergilius Project as well: https://www.vergiliusproject.com/ It’s not an actual documentation since they have only structures/prototypes info, but it’s really nice and accurate
@d_olex @buherator Would that be NtDoc? https://ntdoc.m417z.com/ntaccesscheck
