The Windows MetaFile Backdoor?
Hello, the "main" WMF thread it out of control with the number of posts in it, so I thought I would start a new one with this. (Beside's it is slightly off topic.) If anyone objects, let me know and I will move it.
Anyway, the following site has a good analysis of the WMF exploit. http://www.grc.com/x/news.exe?cmd=ar...ack&item=60006
Notably, the most interesting part would be the final paragraph:
The only conclusion that can reasonably be drawn is that this was a deliberate backdoor put into all of Microsoft's recent editions of Windows. WHY it was put in and WHO knew about it, and WHAT they were expected to use it for ... we'll never know
The quote above is a by-product of: http://www.grc.com/sn/SN-022.htm
Disclaimer: This isn't the most thrilling read, but interesting anyway!
