Content Summary :
Windows Vista introduces several additional barriers that aim to prevent malicious code from gaining access to the operating system kernel. This paper is intended to provide a technical review of their implementation. The kernel mode security enhancements in Windows Vista are quite substantial, resulting in a dramatic reduction of its overall attack surface. However, we have identified certain... In the absence of Windows Vista source code access, we studied Windows Vista Community Technical Preview (CTP) Build 5365 using a debugger, disassembler, and hex editor. For readers who do not possess a working knowledge of the x86 architecture and assembly language, an excellent online book for x86 assembly language is [8]. In addition, knowledge of Windows internals is recommended. An excellent book on Windows internals that is still applicable for Windows Vista is [9]. Microsoft Windows Vista is in beta testing at this paper’s publication. There have been security-related changes in subsequent builds, and we expect more changes up until the final release candidate. We plan to continue investigating consequent kernel changes in future Windows Vista builds.
