Its interesting, but theres certain things about it that I dont like such as this one -
How long as Microsoft been programming Windows for?
Ten, maybe fifteen years, and we are seriously asked to believe that a company with the financial resources of Microsoft cannot a create a bug-free Operating System?
OpenBSD is a free Operating System and with very little funding (nowhere near what Microsoft has, in a million years) the only remote exploits you will find, anywhere in the world, will be at least 12 months old.
thats the typical newbie comment that xxx is better than xxx, to a certain extent i agree with this, like yea some things clearly excel over the same thing on another operating system, if you see what i mean...
But the coders at MS are only human and there bound to make mistakes, maybe they should invest more in finding errors, but then if they did that to much things would never get released and something such as an operating system is a massive amount of work and youd be a god if you did it entirely error free when work is past between hundreads of people.
its an interesting overview, and yes the bits that Ive heard of before the stuff seems factually correct, but things like the search fuction spying doesnt seem rite to me ive never captured anything in a packet capture, and the person doesnt support it with any evidence,
however im interested if any one knows about this thing -
27. Web-Cams and Microphones
These devices can be remotely activated providing visual and audio feedback from the target subject. There is also no way of telling if your devices have been remotely activated. These features are demonstrated in 'proof of concept' applications such as NetBus, etc.
With raw sockets (or driver) this information can bypass your firewall without any problems.
anyone have any info on that?
