[Dailydave] Is Windows Integrity Control in Vista really worth the performance hit? And does it really work?

Hello Steve, tks for your reply!

> Any kernel exploit that allows writing to arbitrary kernel memory can
potentially defeat any kernel protection mechanism.

Sure, but i dont like any in the keyword... when you have pax + stmichael
you dont just need arbitrary kernel writting but also multiple writes  and
lots of things to discover...

> We got eal4+ without SE Linux as part of the eval.

Yeah, it depends of the TE of the certification, the new level and TE is
really dependent of selinux... in any way i have said about eal4+ just
because i seen in this link

Its a design error, not necessarily implementation one... because that we
see lots of discussion regarding how to remove it ;) I dont like so many
exported hooks in my kernel... in any way I wanna know your opinion about
another point that is learning-mode systems... i have a discussion about
that with Joshua in the past, but no conclusions...


cya,
