INTRODUCTION
In the last few years, we've seen a dramatic change of infection techniques. Years ago, malicious programs started as simple file infectors, then progressed through macro viruses, worms, script viruses, and now we are plagued in massive numbers by backdoors, trojans, adware, and rootkits.
The skill set needed for writing malware has changed, and so have the goals. The days when virus writers wrote viruses to show off how good they are at making malicious programs have gone away, and now all that the virus writers care about is making money by infecting a lot of computers.

Greetings,
PCI cards the next haven for rootkits?
| Quote: | | Security researcher John Heasman released a paper this week describing a way to hide malicious code on graphics and network cards in such a way as to avoid detection and survive a full re-installation of the operating system. |
Kindest regards,
Dragan Glas

Greetings,
Can a Rootkit Be Certified for Vista?
| Quote: | | A roomful of hackers, CIOs and CSOs agree that Microsoft's given us the most secure version of Windows yet, but their approval is served up with a garnish of "excepts," "howevers" and "althoughs." |
Kindest regards,

The Impact of Malicious Code on Windows Vista
by Orlando Padilla of Symantec Advanced Threat Research
This is an extremely interesting article that reveal how Vista reacts (or in some cases the correct term might be repels), different classes of Windows threats including Rootkits, Keyloggers, trojans and backdoors.
Interestingly enough, of the small percentage of rootkits that were able to successfully complete execution, NONE were persistent (able to survive a reboot).
| Quote: | | Of 17 rootkits tested, none were successful at surviving a reboot, and only 3 executed successfully. Although a number of user-mode rootkits could potentially leverage local hooking methods to monitor interactive users (as explained previously), none succeeded under Windows Vista due to UAC restrictions. Kernel-mode rootkits fail immediately due to their inability to install drivers or use alternate methods, such as Direct Kernel Object Manipulation (DKOM) for kernel infection. |
