IT Security: interesting interview with Joanna Rutkowska
Over at Tom's Hardware is a very interesting (and long) interview with Joanna Rutkowska - a security specialist best known for her Windows Vista exploits (for research - of course).
I especially like her strategy (look at page 6) is to run various virtual machines, each with it's own security settings depending on it's task. There is however two major drawbacks on this approach: 1) You need a powerful machine; and 2) given problem 1, mobile computing on batteries is not goinbg to fly (yet).
I encourage everybody to have a look - very interesting read indeed.
