How the ANI bug got baked into Vista: Microsoft explains
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007
Joanna Rutkowska, a security researcher known for picking apart the security mechanisms built into Windows, is to demonstrate new 
ways for hackers to invade Windows Vista, including rootkit techniques and ways to defeat BitLocker drive encryption. Rutkowska recently announced she will be running a training session called "Understanding Stealth Malware" during the Black Hat Briefings and Training event in Las Vegas, which runs from 28 July to 2 August.
The training session, which will be co-presented by researcher Alex Tereshkin, promises to demonstrate new rootkits developed for Vista, ways of defeating hardware-based forensics systems and other techniques Microsoft would probably prefer the world didn’t know.
Rutkowska said she, too, is aware of the need for discretion. "For ethical reasons we want to limit the availability of this course to only ’legitimate’ companies," she said in a post on her blog, Invisible Things.
