i haven't tested it yet.

perhaps downgrading will not work - all patches need
to check current version.

i think the weakest point is:
some out-of-date EXE component that is signed by MS
but NOT installed on windows box with default
settings.

and even better:
it doesn't require reboot.

so we don't downgrade windows, we add new functions.
:-)

do you have some EXE like that?
(if so, this kind of attack will SURELY work)

i've traced into the module("IUENGINE.TEXT").


Has someone tried downgrading windoze by installing
old signed stuff (probably a
very old m$ patch as exe will do, or just some old
signed installer from m$)?
After downgrading, old bugs start working.
