* 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.
* In a manner that defies logic, Microsoft designed Windows setup to parse Autounattend.xml
for windowsPE tasks in the PE environment, but only carry out the copying of that file
to %WINDIR%\Panther for subsequent processing with the other passes *IF* there exist an
actual windowsPE section.
* In short, when using the Autounattend.xml method, Microsoft have made all passes there
dependent on the existence of a windowsPE pass, regardless of whether that pass has any
use or not.
* Working around this would be fine and all (just add an empty windowsPE pass so that the
later passes get executed) if the absence of a windowsPE pass didn't also determine
whether the user will be presented with the default Windows setup screens that include
the "Repair your computer" option or a completely different set of screens (c.f. #1971).
* This means that, to keep users happy, we need to add yet another method to carry out
tasks that should have remained the realm of boot.wim's Autounattend.xml, and instead
create a \sources\$OEM$\$$\Panther\unattend.xml when there are no windowsPE tasks (on
account that setup copies anything found under \sources\$OEM$\$$\ to %WINDIR%\).
Only through this can we have the specialize and oobeSystem tasks actually carried out
(for bypassing MSA requirements of skipping the data collection screens) while keeping
the original Windows Setup look and feel.
* Closes#1981
* The use of an unattend.xml to create the TPM/Secure Boot/Disk/RAM bypass keys was
prompted by Microsoft restricting the ability of Windows Store app from manipulating
offline registry hives.
* However, the use of a windowsPE phase in unattend.xml to insert the keys results in
a windows command prompt briefly appearing when setup launches, as well as slightly
different Windows setup screens from the default.
* So we are now reverting to trying to edit the boot.wim registry hive offline (which
should work for the non Store version of Rufus) while falling back to using a PE
unattend section if that doesn't work.
* Closes#1971
* 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*.
* 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.
* Now that we can delay-load DLLs for both MinGW and MSVC, we can also remove
the direct DLL hook that was added into dwmapi.dll due to side loading and
revert to using a direct API call instead.
* This reverts part of e1d864f755.
* Also attempt to silence that damn Coverity warning.
* MIRACLE LINUX is a Red Hat derivative, so it needs the same special
treatment as Red Hat, CentOS, etc to work around issues in anaconda.
* This commit adds MIRACLE LINUX to the list of Red Hat derivatives.
* Closes#1866
* Hypothetically if the user's current directory contains a malicious DLL that DLL
could be loaded instead of the one in System32.
* Whereas the previous patch should have taken care of the one DLL referenced by
Rufus that may be vulnerable to this attack (version.dll), we nonetheless add
delay loading for all the libraries we reference as a precautionary measure.
* One can confirm that this works by using dumpbin.exe /IMPORTS to make sure
a specific DLL is delay loaded. Then putting a breakpoint in the delay load
hook should also confirm that the hook is used.
* Closes#1838
* 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.
* Per 2a3e82fa96, it looks like some Windows 7 system have trouble with
LoadLibraryEx() if they don't have KB2533623 installed (which fixes a MAJOR Windows
vulnerability. Some people sure want to leave their system open to hackers...).
* Work around this by adding a fallback to LoadLibrary() in GetLibraryHandle()
* Also switch to using GetLibraryHandle() in dos.c and using LoadLibrary() in sections
where we have the full path (since these calls are not vulnerable).
* If 'Extended Windows 11 Installation' mode is selected, the system registry hive of
'sources\boot.wim' is patched to add the Setup\LabConfig registry keys that bypass
the TPM 2.0/Secure Boot/8GB+ RAM Windows 11 system requirements.
* Use sources/compatresources.dll, when available, to try to detect the Windows ISO version and build.
* Also report what facility we use for formatting.
* Since version 8.2, and rhinstaller/anaconda@a766101954,
Red Hat derivatives have changed their CD-ROM detection policy which leads to
the installation source not being found when writing the media in ISO mode.
* Replace 'inst.stage2' by 'inst.repo' in the kernel options.
* Closes#1777 (See also rhinstaller/anaconda#rhinstaller/anaconda#3529).
* Note that this reverts part of 9c8fa40995.
* If users set the persistent size to max, we may run into a situation
where projected size (which is always a rough estimation) is too low.
* When persistence is in use, we increase the projected size by 10%, to
ensure that the above scenario cannot happen.
* Also work around potential issues with Windows APIs when the application
is launched from the root of a drive.
* While this is intended to solve the issue of saving GRUB/Syslinux files for the
App Store version, we apply this change globally, as it allows the user to move
the Rufus executable around while preserving access to existing downloads.
* Closes#1744
* This basically means that the script is validate *TWICE*, using two
completely independent signatures, before it is allowed to run, which
should add another mitigation layer against TOCTOU (which we already
friggin' mitigated against anyway) and other potential vectors of
attack.
* Also remove -DisableFirstRunCustomize option and the associated cookie
prompt monitoring, which the latest version of Fido no longer requires.
* Also update WDK version for signtool and flesh out PKI error messages.
* Anaconda broke ISO compatibility, most likely with the following commit:
84529204fe
* However, Ret Hat, and its followers, have drunk the "DD only" kool aid, and
appear to be blissfully unaware of the very real drawbacks that enforcing a
"DD only" mode for ISOHybrid can actually place on distro users.
* Rather than spend another wasted effort trying get people, who appear to be
impervious to even remotely consider the idea that DD imaging can have flaws,
to look into the possibility that Red Hat might indeed have introduced a
regression, and given the downright hostility I have been subjected to from
trying to state this *very verifiable* fact, we'll just force DD mode for the
affected Red Hat and derivatives, whilst trusting that users will be smart
enough to compare their more limited installation experience against the ones
from other distros (such as Arch, Debian or Ubuntu, which, unlike Red Hat and
co., appear to fully understand that the whole ISOHybrid vs DD mode situation
is not all black and white), and see for themselves which distros do actually
place *their* interests first, rather than just the interests of the distro
maintainers...
