There has been a lot of buzz around the topic of virtualized rootkits. Joanna Rutkowska has been working on a new version of Blue-Pill, her proof of concept invisible rootkit, while a team made by three prominent security experts (Thomas Ptacek, Nate Lawson, Peter Ferrie) challenged her that there is not an "invisible" rootkit, and that they were going to present at BlackHat conference various techniques to detect Blue-Pill. Federico Biancuzzi interviewed both sides to learn more. Part 2 of 2

When a new technology born the problems start.

Today, the security problems more that a computer game or a hacker challenge! , a new technology must useful for internet cyber world.

I think Joanna try to show us demonstrate of threat from "hardware virtualization" which will make for us new threats, that is all.

Hacker's challenges are needs for upgrading our safe guards! But, I don?t think that will be a true way to proving your self!

Likes the other technologies, times will tell us truth!
