In Program Names govern admin rights in Vista
""The Vista feature you've run into is the equivalent of an airport metal detector," explained Dr Brian Chess, chief scientist at Fortify Software"
Ok, good. Now, how good would those detectors be if
any object could just be able to reshape (change names)
when the beam hits them and after ? Wouldn't the scan
operator be misled some times ?
The comparison falls flat, to me, Chess ...
I'm no Windows expert, but it's down to the very
implementation of Windows here, that "security" relies.
Not a design paradigm, like Redmond likes
to claim to the masses.
There have been vulns of Unix system in execve() in the past,
in the exact same way it treated suid #! headers ...
Can happen to Vista, given where Redmond starts from,
in terms of security !
