A DMCA resistant fork of no-defender

I use no-defender, but noticed it got sent down the memory hole. Here's an updated version that doesn't ship any 3rd party binaries.

A DMCA resistant fork of no-defender launched on April 22, 2025 with 7 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

A slightly more fun way to disable windows defender - electroglyph/anti_defender

Nearly all the credit goes to https://github.com/es3n1n/no-defender , it is mostly es3n1n's code. This is an updated version of https://github.com/es3n1n/no-defender . No longer ships with wsc_proxy.exe and wsc.dll, instead I've made a small utility called wsc_extract which will grab the necessary files from avast_free_antivirus_offline_setup.exe . You must get the Avast offline installer and run wsc_extract.exe before you try to use anti_defender_loader. wsc_extract by default looks for avast_free_antivirus_offline_setup.exe , if that filename changes, just pass the new filename as a parameter to wsc_extract . In no-defender the hooks are hard-coded. I've updated it so that all the hook…from github.com

    Long-simmering side project that is finally ready to see the light. HAMTs are a cool persistent data structure and implementing one has been a lot of fun. Beyond the code, there is likely some value in the extensive and largely complete implementation docs; basic benchmarks are linked in the README, too. Kind of aiming to be "the libavl for HAMTs". That is obviously a high and aspirational bar but a distinct possibility if it stirs up a little interest and/or contribution. Anyways, it's time for this to go out, collect feedback and maybe even some use outside of toy projects. Let me…

    Hey HN! We just launched open sign up on Buildstash. It's a platform for managing and sharing software binaries. I'd worked across game dev, mobile apps, and agencies - and found every team had no real system for managing their built binaries. Often just dumped in a shared folder (if someone remembered!). No system for versioning, keeping track of who'd signed off what when, or what exact build had gone to a client, etc. Existing tools out there for managing build artifacts are really focused on package repository management. But miss all the other types of software not being deployed that…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
