Vista hacked already

Monday, August 07, 2006 at 17:23 by Darren Chew

Reports of a new threat to Microsoft's unreleased operating system 'Vista' have already started. This new threat named only as 'Blue Pill' has already managed to circumnavigate it's was around the major new feature in Vista, its security.

Microsoft's new Vista operating system has been touted as their most secure operating system to date. Microsoft has put a lot of time and effort in to making this new operating system secure by giving it a "Security Development Lifecycle" which aims to find 'all' security threats before being released.

Microsoft has been after information like this to arise, as they attended this year's Black Hat hacker conference last week prompting attending hackers to do worst.

The Blue Pill works by bypassing Vista's integrity-checking process and allows unsigned code to be loaded by the Vista kernel. By doing this it allows Malware or unauthorised software to be used. Reports also say Blue Pill is undetectable.

Reports now say Microsoft are happy with the information they have received and are looking in to the process used by Blue Pill and hope to find a solution to what could be a rather interesting problem on release.

The finder of the new hack Joanna Rutkowska a researcher for a firm called COSEINC has made some suggestions on the best way to address this. I think Microsoft will be all ears on that one!
