Topic created on: February 11, 2007 02:28 CST by rman .

Looking into the MS hotpatch that they introduced a while back.  Are there any rootkits that currently make use of this?

Also, does anyone know of any resources/whitepapers on what other people are experimenting with this?

Did you read this?

DKOM Rootkits using a same approach for e.g , but ms hotpatch is not involved because its new and limited to newer versions of the OS and you cannot take advantage of such things in w2k or even plain xp . all bets for usermode rootkits are off , but some similar techniques are playing a major role there too , but not using ms hotpatch as far as i know . rootkit.com's forum is another good place to ask for this :)

igorsk : yes, I saw that article before I posted and it was a great (and no nonsense) post, just was looking for anymore information.
Thanks,
