Orignally introduced at this year's Blackhat con in Amsterdam, the Vbootkit is a kit showcasing the execution of unsigned code on Windows Vista. Recently, the researchers released two videos demonstrating the attack worth watching. Here's the authors' research itself. Answering the mythical question on which is the most secure OS, direct the reply in a "which is the most securely configured one" manner, and you'll break through the technology solution myopia and hopefully enter the security risk management stage. A secure OS from what? Nothing's unhackable, the unhackable just takes a little while -- where the invisible incentivising in the desired direction is the shortcut.
