Windows Kernel Protection Expected to Break Soon

PatchGuard, a Microsoft technology to protect key parts of Windows, will be hacked sooner rather than later, a security expert said Thursday. Hackers will break through the protection mechanism soon after Microsoft releases Windows Vista, Aleksander Czarnowski, a technologist at Polish security company AVET Information and Network Security, said in a presentation at the Virus Bulletin event here. “It will probably take a year or so for it to surface publicly, but I believe it will be broken earlier,” he said.
