Rutkowska Faces 'Blue Pill' Rootkit Challenge
Controll3r writes "Three high-profile security researchers — Thomas Ptacek of Matasano Security, Nate Lawson of Root Labs and Symantec's Peter Ferrie — have issued a challenge to Joanna Rutkowska to prove that her 'Blue Pill' technology can create "100 percent undetectable" malware. The Black Hat 2007 challenge will feature two untouched laptops of the make/model of Rutkowska's choosing for her to plant Blue Pill on one. From the article: 'She picks one in secret, installs her kit, sets them up however she wants,' Lawson explained in an interview. 'We get to install our software on both and run it, [and] we point out which machine [Blue Pill] is on. If we're wrong, she keeps the laptop.' No word on whether Rutkowska will accept the challenge."
Pix please.
She's hot, I would have personally put her to the bedroom challenge

...then make her a planning cunt?
The identity of Joanna is not clear; until 2003, Rutkowska apparently published under the male name of Jan Krzysztof Rutkowski, a student of Warsaw University of Technology who used his school-supplied e-mail account jkrutkowski, and gave presentations on Windows rootkit hiding and detection on Black Hat Briefings in 2003. Since then, various sources interchangeably attribute pre-2003 materials signed as Jan to Joanna. Joanna never commented on this matter in public interviews, and consequently, it is not apparent which of her or his identities is real.
