A female security expert has just announced that she will demo new attacks on Windows Vista, including rootkit techniques and how to defeat BitLocker hard drive encryption.

Joanna Rutkowska also said she will host a training course called "Understanding Stealth Malware" at the Black Hat Conference this year in Las Vegas from July 28 to August 2. This course will involve security researcher Alex Tereshkin, who promises to show off new Vista-specific rootkits and ways to defeat hardware-based analytics and methods.

The performance and the upcoming June will continue to implement and expand the above methods but are more sophisticated and sophisticated, including unpublished techniques, implementation details, new codes and new rootkit templates. The target is the Windows operating system, especially the 64-bit version of Vista.

Recently, Rutkowska has announced a number of new vulnerabilities in user account control - UAC of Vista (once considered by Microsoft to be extremely safe).

A few months ago, Rutkowska demonstrated some subtle ways of hiding the types of rootkits developed under new techniques. These rootkits can hide in the systems that are considered to be the safest and avoid the eye of the most secure detection method available today, which are hardware-based products. Ability to read system RAM.
