Federico Biancuzzi interviews Nitin and Vipin Kumar, authors of VBootkit, a rootkit that is able to load from Windows Vista boot-sectors. They discuss the "features" of their code, the support of the various versions of Vista, the possibility to place it inside the BIOS (it needs around 1500 bytes), and the chance to use it to bypass Vista's product activation or avoid DRM.

At the moment nobody has seen vbootkit source code.
If Mr. Kumar will release vbootkit source code we will be able to see if they ripped code or not.
All this noise on lists is just based on a misunderstanding. The ripped code problem was handled on rootkit.com in November!
It seems SF readers are behaving like Slashdot trolls...
