It's freely available in the Windows 10 store as "WinDbg Preview". I recall reading somewhere that they will be rolling it into the Windows SDK once the preview is complete.

Indeed it was, I was offering my own considered opinion, not some absolute universal truth.
No surprise such opinions don't go down favourably on HN though. Amidst all the interesting technical and scientific discussion, there are disappointing overtones of wealth worship, and a weird cult-like following of billionaire entrepreneurs.
I don't see what other response he could have reasonably expected from Microsoft, given that his complaints were about the iOS Exchange connector, and actually had nothing to do with Exchange Server.
Before Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste, the usual method was Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins (and Shift+Del for cut), so this key did have a lot of use back in the day. These key combinations still work in most Windows software.
The post-fork canary value could be paired with the stack pointer at which it became valid. If not valid, the process could walk a linked list of pre-fork canary and stack pointer pairs, to find the correct value to use. Would be interesting to see the performance hit on such an approach.
A sensible business decision by Cloudflare, and a fine moral stand to take. There is nothing positive to be gained by servicing such neo-Nazi websites, and Cloudflare is under no obligation to keep them as customers.
Similarly, the Daily Stormer is free to take their custom to a provider who turns a blind eye to or supports their toxic ideology.
One exception may be if you could steal an authenticated pointer to a buffer that's about to have some generated machine code written to it (e.g. for JIT execution), and use that to write your own arbitrary code instead.
That's just an insinuation of conspiracy with no evidence whatsoever behind it. The more believable alternative is that developers simply make mistakes now and then.
This idea that Microsoft is deliberately introducing bugs into its software so nation states can exploit them is so absurd, it really is tinfoil hat conspiracy theory ludicrousness.
Once a patch is released, it's generally quite straightforward to compare before and after, reverse engineering it to find the vulnerability. So the general advice is always to patch as soon as possible.
