VB100

Some of the things this month's issue has in store are:

  • VB100 review on Windows Vista Business Edition SP1: John Hawes wades through a mammoth 40 products in this month's comparative review of anti-malware products on Vista SP1.
  • Political DDoS around the world: 'We have tracked tens of thousands of DDoS attacks ... A subset of [them] appear to be politically motivated.' Jose Nazario, Arbor Networks
  • Your computer is now stoned (..again!): Mebroot - the MBR rootkit - is one of the most advanced and stealthiest malware seen to date. Elia Florio and Kimmo Kasslin track its rise.
  • Anti-stealth fighters: testing for rootkit detection and removal: Thanks to rootkit technology it is becoming increasingly challenging for products to detect samples once they are running and trying to hide themselves and other malicious components. Andreas Marx and Maik Morgenstern present the results of two recent rootkit detection tests.
  • How wise are crowds when assessing phishing websites?: Tyler Moore considers the effectiveness of web-based participation in the implementation of anti-phishing mechanisms.
