Is this project dead?

Open kristibektashi opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

There doesn't seem to have been any changes since March. Is this project still active or not?

The project is still active. The reason there is low activity is because the driver itself works well for most users. What is needed most is to sign the driver and also a better installation program so more users can start using the driver.

How is signing the driver going? Because I need to use it on a system with Secure Boot and I don't want to enable testsigning

I don't think it's necessary to sign it, people shouldn't have to pay in order to let users install something on their own computers.

Unsigned drivers don't properly work with Secure Boot

Unsigned drivers don't properly work with Secure Boot

It's still unfair and open-source developers shouldn't have to pay companies when they make a driver. Secure boot offers little to no security as a malicious driver is one of many, many ways for malware to work.

You should get in touch with https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie who probably could sign (and build) the driver for you.
