Quote:LAS VEGAS -- Two security researchers have developed a new technique that essentially bypasses all of the memory protection safeguards in the Windows Vista operating system, an advance that many in the security community say will have far-reaching implications not only for Microsoft, but also on how the entire technology industry thinks about attacks.
Quote:Researchers who have read the paper that Dowd and Sotirov wrote on the techniques say their work is a major breakthrough and there is little that Microsoft can do to address the problems. The attacks themselves are not based on any new vulnerabilities in IE or Vista, but instead take advantage of Vista's fundamental architecture and the ways in which Microsoft chose to protect it.
Quote:"The genius of this is that it's completely reusable," said Dino Dai Zovi, a well-known security researcher and author. "They have attacks that let them load chosen content to a chosen location with chosen permissions. That's completely game over."

Gun control theory: Those who are willing to ignore the law and rights of others i.e. murder, robbery, rape etc. will obey a law which prohibits the posession of a firearm. |

Linux can't get banned: it's in use in most telco equipments, internet routers, and business servers. Major unix servers providers have already switched to linux (HP,Digital-Compaq), and others will probably follow. MacOS is only a layer above linux. Etc. |

Actually, I'm quite liking Vista so far ... after I managed to disable all the bleddy admin rights nonsense :-)
It's been stable for nearly a year now; no blue screen of death, no freezing.

That's the first thing I did with mine, though I haven't used it for a long time anyway. It still felt kinda slower than this XP box.

Micro$oft is not an operating system company it is a marketing corporation.
There is an entire world of functioning secure open source operating systems (linux).
The proof of the pudding is alot of wall street runs on linux.
If you want to try this out for yourself, for a first timer, I'd recommend UBUNTU. |

It's open source no? Can't it be hacked easily?
We should privacy between servers.
