You're correct. Full of zeros at least.

…according to a Twitter post by the Chief Informational Security Officer of Grand Canyon Education.

So, does anyone else find it odd that the file that caused everything CrowdStrike to freak out, C-00000291-
00000000-00000032.sys was 42KB of blank/null values, while the replacement file C-00000291-00000000-
00000.033.sys was 35KB and looked like a normal, if not obfuscated sys/.conf file?

Also, apparently CrowdStrike had at least 5 hours to work on the problem between the time it was discovered and the time it was fixed.

    Just needed to add 42k of ones to balance the data. Everyone knows that, like tires, you need to balance your data.

      I mean, joking aside, isn’t that how parity calculations used to work? “Got more uppy bits than downy bits - that’s a paddlin’” or something.

      I once had a very noisy computer… It was the disk! I just balanced the data and all problems went away.
