Don't you love it the ability to compile and run software on your hardware is controlled by a third party over the internet?

I sure love the SAAS future we are heading forwards.

It IS, though. SmartScreen on Windows doesn't check binaries created on the same machine, but you'll get flagged if you move the untrusted binary to another machine you own.

I'm not sure what they call it, but Windows does get in the way for things you compile on your own machine. I compiled the JuicyPotato exploit and tried to copy it to another local folder and got error 0x800700E1 and the EXE went missing.

That's Defender behavior -- you'll want to disable antivirus before building viruses :)

Defender is a traditional hueristic-based AV with on-disk and live load scanning and an offline database. SmartScreen is a reputation-based (certs + "how many people ran this") checker, and is much more visible. Win10 runs both.

Ah right, that makes sense. Yes I did disable it before moving it to Kali :)
