Hacker busts IE8 on Windows 7 in 2 minutes
,----[ Quote ]
| Two researchers yesterday won $10,000 each
| at the Pwn2Own hacking contest by bypassing
| important security measures of Windows 7.
|
| Both Peter Vreugdenhil of the Netherlands
| and a German researcher who would only
| identify himself by the first name Nils
| found ways to disable DEP (data execution
| prevention) and ASLR (address space layout
| randomization), which are two of Windows
| 7's most vaunted anti-exploit features.
| Each contestant faced down the fully-
| patched 64-bit version of Windows 7 and
| came out a winner.

Windows' Boll Weevil problem
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows defenders like to claim that all
| other operating systems would have just as
| much trouble if they were as popular as
| desktop Windows is. They're wrong of
| course. Windows was designed as a single
| user operating system and to make it easy
| for applications to share data. That
| single-user, no IPC (interprocess
| communication) DNA remains in Windows to
| this day. That said, they do have a point,
| which is why I like to say that Windows has
| a "Boll Weevil" problem.
