Blue Pill malware is undetectable in Vista
Friday, September 22nd, 2006
The researcher who developed Blue Pill, an attempt at producing undetectable malware for 
Windows Vista, is working on a stealthier version that could be finished within the next few months.
Polish malware specialist Joanna Rutkowska, who works as a senior researcher at Singapore’s Computer Security Initiative Consultancy Pte, unveiled a prototype of Blue Pill earlier this year. "Blue Pill is about hijacking an OS [operating system], moving into a virtual machine, and taking control of it," she said during an interview at the HITB (Hack In The Box Security Conference) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Blue Pill works by taking advantage of hardware virtualisation technology in AMD and Intel processors. Virtualisation allows computers to simultaneously run multiple OSes and applications in separate partitions. "Using this virtualisation technology should allow us to develop malware that is 100 percent undetectable," Rutkowska said.
