Debunking the WMF backdoor
Thomas C. Greene, 2006-01-23

Claims that the WMF vulnerability was an intentional backdoor into Windows systems makes for an interesting conspiracy theory, but doesn't fit with the facts.

The author seems to be debunking Steve Gibson, and not the intention of the WMF exploit.
Intent always defines if something is right or wrong, this article does not disprove nor does
it prove that WMF was intentionally put in, I believe Microsoft intentionaly leaves some
of these exploits in... Why not? espeacilly when you have contracts with governments.
This is probbaly why they give out the source code, to certain governments ie: China.

They will probbaly say I'm a security amateur and no nothing of matters that require such
high understanding. HahhahhAHhA
