Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

.SYNOPSIS

Decompresses a Windows Defender AV signature database (.VDM file).

.DESCRIPTION

Expand-DefenderAVSignatureDB extracts a Windows Defender AV signature database (.VDM file). This function was developed by reversing mpengine.dll and with the help of Tavis Ormandy and his LoadLibrary project (https://github.com/taviso/loadlibrary). Note: Currently, "scrambled" databases are not supported although, I have yet to encounter a scrambled database. Thus far, all databases I've encountered are zlib-compressed.
