@hackerfantastic Interesting use of race conditions to highlight security vulnerabilities in Windows installers. The impact of this type of exploit is significant.

@hackerfantastic Oh that is dope, file race bugs on windows. The missing piece for me. Do you have some material on bug types etc or should I just read the code. For context I abuse file issues like this on macOS for 0days

@hackerfantastic Amazing work, make a support for DLL hijacking to work with this race condition vuln.
