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.
