windows controlled folder access flagged two legitimate files
Am on windows 11 and controlled folder access flagged two legitimate exes for trying to access protected folders but how is it this possible when one of the exes is oen that comes with windows , the other is from an anti cheat ( battle eye ) but its the first time it happened for that ( the anti cheat ) and ive been using it for some time now , the file location the legitimate windows exe tries to access that is called attrib.exe and is in system32 and it tried to access %userprofile%\Favories and when i checked in there it was empty folder , also i checked the file and it did have official microsoft signature and am curious if maybe something i did caused this because i dont understand how official windows exe can be flagged by controlled folder access , also for the battle eye it happened while i tried launching the game that uses it (gta) but this is the first time this happened and ive played it alot of times before on win 11 and the folder it tries to acccess is \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 also am not sure if this is even a normal folder but this is what it tried to access, on virus total it says file distributor is ubisoft montreal only 1 detection from maxsecure as trojan but its probably just because its an anticheat

Controlled Folder Access Issue
am not sure if something that i did triggered this or if its a bug , i checked and the file is in sys32 its official microsoft exe , am in win 11 , also i got the same controlled foldr access issue but for BEService.exe which is a battleeye AV , also win version is latest
reverse engineering
i have this patched program and i try to figure out how and what was patched , i put it in ghidra using program diffing tool and i can see all the stuff its modified but i notice that it only displays modifications on existing functions/ lines of the original program , so if lets say a completely new function was added for whatever reason but it didnt exist in the original program then it wont be highlighted and it wont show and its gonna take a fuck ton of time to manually go through the entire thing and all the remaining files so is there any prorgam that does this automaticly?
Programm Diffing
does program diffing tool also highlight newly added lines of code or is it only highlighting functions and stuff that exists in both versions of the file but is slightly different in the other version , and if it only does that and doesnt highlight newly added stuff like a completely new function that wasnt in the old version of the file is there a way for me to view that aswell without having to manually search for them?
ghidra file comparison
is it possible to take two files that i imported and ghidra automaticly compares them and finds all the differences , the same way programs like bindiff do it
why am i so bad
i dont fucking understand i just always lose to the most simple shit hanging a piece or something at my elo (500) , like i dont get outplayed like if my opponent is to make a move that even if we are equal or something am 100% going to go down on pieces or get mated its always simpel stuff i try to teach myself to look more on the board and use my fucking eyes to see where am palcing shit and i just cant every time i hang pieces and am not even playing blitz where u can say the time is the issue am playing 10 min with all time to use my eyes but i just cant get to eb more patient
controlled folder acess issue with photoshop from genp
photoshop genp
had it for a while only today i see when i open node.exe which is one of the files from adobe stuff gets flagegd for trying to acesss controlled folder ( documents ) and same for photoshop.exe for trying to access controlled folder (pictures) , has any1 else had this in the past?
trying to learn patching
am trying to learn software patching , i have no prior expirience on any of this sort of shit so where do i even start to learn , i was mainly looking to try adobe and since genp already shows everything ( i think ) it does to the files ( even the values that it looks for inside them and what it replaces them with) is it gonna be easy or atleast not really hard for me to try and replicate everything it does not my making my own software but by just manually patching all the files that handle licensing etc
