New Developments From Microsoft Research

Posted by Zonk on from the end-result-of-windows-money dept.

prostoalex writes "Information Week magazine runs a brief report from Microsoft Research, showcasing some of the new technologies the company's research division is working on. Among them — a rootkit that eliminates other rootkits, a firewall that blocks the traffic exploiting published vulnerabilities, a system for catching lost e-mail, a honeypot targeted at discovering zero-day exploits, and some anti-phishing applications."

  1. If you had looked at USENIX by Unsung_Admin · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I would advocate to any *NIX sys admin here - CHECK OUT usenix.org and www.sage.org. They put out some of the best *NIX shows and programs out there - REALLY!!!! I say this, because one of their sponsors is Microsoft Research. Dont' get me wrong, I generally don't like the MS approach to doing things, but I will definitely say that their are those within MS who know things. Happy Adminining, Unsung_Admin
