Joanna Rutkowska, a security researcher known for picking apart the
security mechanisms built into Windows, is to demonstrate new ways for
hackers to invade Windows Vista, including rootkit techniques and ways to
defeat BitLocker drive encryption.

Rutkowska recently announced she will be running a training session called
"Understanding Stealth Malware" during the Black Hat Briefings and Training
event in Las Vegas, which runs from 28 July to 2 August.

The training session, which will be co-presented by researcher Alex
Tereshkin, promises to demonstrate new rootkits developed for Vista, ways
of defeating hardware-based forensics systems and other techniques
Microsoft would probably prefer the world didn't know.
