A person named Joanna Rutkowska along with Alex Tereshkin will demonstrate new ways to hack Vista which includes rootkit techniques, defeating encryption on the BitLocker drive, and defeating hardware-based forensics systems at Las Vegas. The event will be called Black Hat Briefings and it will run from July 28 to August 2 this year.

Her training session will be called ‘Understanding Stealth Malware’ and she said “For ethical reasons we want to limit the availability of this course to only ‘legitimate’ companies,” in her blog post.

She is currently in the process of founding a security start-up which will be based in Poland.

She added, “These attacks, of course, work on the fly and do not require system reboot and are not afraid of the TPM/BitLocker protection.”
