'Blue Pill' Prototype Creates 100% Undetectable Malware - TechAmok
'Blue Pill' Prototype Creates 100% Undetectable Malware - [security] 04:43 PM EDT - Jun,29 2006 - (1 comments) A security researcher with expertise in rootkits has built
a
working prototype of new technology that is capable of creating malware that
remains '100 percent undetectable,' even on Windows Vista x64 systems.
Joanna Rutkowska, a stealth malware researcher at Singapore-based IT security
firm COSEINC, says the new Blue Pill concept uses AMD's SVM/Pacifica
virtualization technology to create an ultra-thin hypervisor that takes complete
control of the underlying operating system.
"The idea behind Blue Pill is simple: your operating system swallows the Blue
Pill and it awakes inside the Matrix controlled by the ultra thin Blue Pill
hypervisor. This all happens on-the-fly (i.e. without restarting the system) and
there is no performance penalty and all the devices," she explained.
Rutkowska stressed that the Blue Pill technology does not rely on any bug of the
underlying operating system. "I have implemented a working prototype for Vista
x64, but I see no reasons why it should not be possible to port it to other
operating systems, like Linux or BSD which can be run on x64 platform," she
added.
Blue Pill is being developed exclusively for COSEINC Research and will not be
available for download. However, Rutkowska said the company is planning to
organize trainings about Blue Pill and other technologies where the source code
would be made available.

(05:33 PM EDT - Jun,29 2006) - miglaugh | This leaves me with a very uneasy feeling in my gut. How is anything "undetectable"? some sort of one-way mirror kind of function or something?. If the operating system is talking to this hypervisor wouldn't those communications be detectable?
bleh :cry: | |
