  Hackers will crack Windows security tech soon
Time: 01:26 EST/06:26 GMT | News Source: Silicon | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

PatchGuard, a Microsoft technology to protect key parts of Windows, will be hacked sooner rather than later, a security expert said on Thursday.

Hackers will break through the protection mechanism soon after Microsoft releases Windows Vista, Aleksander Czarnowski, a technologist at Polish security company Avet Information and Network Security, said in a presentation at the Virus Bulletin event in Montreal.

Czarnowski said: "It will probably take a year or so for it to surface publicly but I believe it will be broken earlier. PatchGuard will be broken pretty soon after the final version is released... A lot of people who would break it will probably not make it public immediately."

It's been in XP x64 for a year and a half already, so why haven't we seen the crack yet?

#1 Because there are more left handed Windows 3.0 users than XP x64 users?

When it gets hacked, it will be patched, over and over again. The game will never end.
