Lab / educational. Public binaries and patched classes only. Isolated VM.

This is the kind of thread that should be a sticky and is not. You wrote «Enabled both, forgot a flag, boot loop on the lab box». That is the sentence I keep. Page heap and ASan catch different lies. I run both. Version in my shot: current lab snapshot, not last year's blog.

Dump the helper process. Always the helper process. If anyone DMs me a zip I will not open it. Hash in-thread.

This belongs in the first-hour ritual. On «Verifier + driver verifier + our filter — boot loop»: Enabled both, forgot a flag, boot loop on the lab box. SetThreadDescription is free.
