'Blue Pill' Prototype Creates 100% Undetectable Malware

A security researcher with expertise in rootkits has built a working prototype of new technology that is capable of creating malware that remains "100 percent undetectable," even on Windows Vista x64 systems.


Oh, that is SUCH a good idea, I feel so much better now. At this point, you just have to ask why did they even bother?

well, usually the justification for this sort of thing is that they're pointing out security flaws so that those flaws can be fixed (ie. full disclosure) but this time the researcher is quite clear about the fact that there is no security flaw involved...

on the plus side, at least she has no intentions of making it available for download...

also, the 100% undetectable claim is almost certainly false - it would imply that the malware has perfect protection from malware detectors, which violates a fundamental principle that there is no perfect protection...
