New Task Explorer release

Added 2019-09-03 21:16:07 +0000 UTC

Most recent build, as of today: https://github.com/DavidXanatos/TaskExplorer/releases/tag/v0.8.5

[0.8.5] - 2019-09-01

This release focuses on bug fixing and usability improvements. An other major change is the use of the own xprocesshacker.sys driver by default, this is required as the original kprocesshacker.sys comes with a DRM that locks some functionality away from tools which are not signed by the process hacker team. With an own driver we can again mess with protected processes and read any memory location.

The used leaked signing certificate does not seam to raise to many read flags eider, virus total:
xprocesshacker.sys 4 false positivs https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ac2ed32418c81cf97dd6a53e258b4066952affbb768e66ebaaf57643d5f145ec/detection
vs
original kprocesshacker.sys 13 false positivs https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/220a2dcf4d597f9208c0e7fd7057a91e88e118d420f20aac8e75ae3e39a7ac22/detection
In fact we get much less than process hacker does.
