No, you don't need 8GB free space on the affected machines as this article claims (first paragraph in Deploying Microsoft's Crowdstrike Recovery Tool). The MS article says that the machine building the USB drive needs 8 GB of free space (make sense that it needs some temporary space), there's no free space requirement for the affected machines.

I find the fact that Microsoft has invested resources (which Microsoft's own developers say are scarce whenever you press them to fix some bug in one of their GitHub repos) into developing this tool speak volumes about who both CrowdStrike and Microsoft seem to be working for.

See, if that was Kaspersky or ESET failure they probably wouldn't lift a finger to help. But since CrowdStrike is so obviously backed by 3-letter agencies they had to soften the blow to save their reputation. The fact that big names didn't immediately uninstall Falcon after this mess and sued CrowdStrike for damages and straight into oblivion tells us who is behind it all and that everyone is in on it.

The whole auto-update mechanism is a black hole in any purported security framework.

What evidence is there for crowdstrike being backed by US Govt intel agencies?

All the accusations not backed by evidence which they provided on behalf of those agencies blaming Russia, China, and North Korea every chance they got?

There's evidence they have deep cooperation with intel agencies.

You mean expect the fact that chief security of CrowdStrike is...former FBI senior executive.
