"...
There has been a lot of buzz around the topic of virtualized rootkits. Joanna Rutkowska has been working on a new version of Blue-Pill, her proof of concept invisible rootkit, while a team made by three prominent security experts (Thomas Ptacek, Nate Lawson, Peter Ferrie) challenged her that there is not an "invisible" rootkit, and that they were going to present at BlackHat conference various techniques to detect Blue-Pill.

Three against one. I'm virtually certain one side or the other is wrong.

This is a very academic kind of battle. One gutsy woman against three males. That's tough. Anyway, whatever the final outcome is something positive will be achieved for sure.

With all due respect, I fail to see whatever being male or female has anything to do with this.

I think maybe you have read too much in that comment. There has always been those that doubt Joanna Rutkowska. I think the comment was in reference to being the underdog in the masses, not specifically that she is female. I hope she does prove that something exsists, simply because we can become narrow minded with our own knowledge. I wish her luck.
