First up is a streamlined microkernel codenamed MinWin, around which a re-engineered Windows line will be built. Described as 'the Windows 7 source-code base', in reference to the successor to Windows Vista which is slated for a 2010 release, MinWin strips back the current NT-based kernel to the barest of bare metal. Ars Technica has more, including a one hour video presentation [.wmv] about MinWin. Sassy quote of the day by Microsoft kernel engineer Eric Traut: &quot;A lot of people think of Windows as this really large bloated operating system, and that may be a fair characterisation, I have to admit.&quot; My take: Maybe this will be closer to reality after all?<br /> <br /> More Info with one hour video :<br /> http://www.osnews.com/story.php/18803/Core-of-Windows-7-Taking-Shape-Meet-the-MinWin-Kernel<br /> http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/conference/2007/video/UIUC-ACM-RP07-Traut.wmv Tue, 24 Jul 2007 04:58:02 -0500 https://www.openrce.org/blog/view/823/Sony,_Rootkits_and_Digital_Rights_Management_Gone_Too_Far djnemo <email-suppressed@example.com> Last week when I was testing the latest version of RootkitRevealer (RKR) I ran a scan on one of my systems and was shocked to see evidence of a rootkit. Rootkits are cloaking technologies that hide files, Registry keys, and other system objects from diagnostic and security software, and they are usually employed by malware attempting to keep their implementation hidden (see my “Unearthing Rootkits” article from thre June issue of Windows IT Pro Magazine for more information on rootkits). The RKR results window reported a hidden directory, several hidden device drivers, and a hidden application:<br /> <br /> Original News By :Mark Russinovich Author of Microsoft Windows Internals, Fourth Edition: Microsoft Windows Server(TM) 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 (Pro-Developer) and ...<br /> http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/10/31/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights-management-gone-too-far.aspx
