[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 822302, member: 32260"] These applications rely on the open source [URL='https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows']Squirrel[/URL] project to manage installation and updating routines. They can be used by many applications, and their paths can be different. I tested these executables from the newest Discord and they can download the payload (.nupkg package). Blocking them will block the application updates, so it has to be an individual decision. The best method would be manually blocking the concrete paths of update.exe and squirrel.exe by Firewall Hardening tool. It is worth to remember that LOLBins can be dangerous only if something was already exploited. This is hardly possible on the well updated system/software on Windows 10. [/QUOTE]
