Dear KF, For standalone box things are same. One can think it's possible to protect file system against Local System under Windows, but this protection can be bypassed. One may think it's possible to limit syscalls for root under Unix - but Windows can be protected in same way. For network (if can you get access to network having access to local superuser account) everything depends on network infrastructure, not on host OS, but NFS is usually less secure against this kind of attacks comparing to CIFS. --Tuesday, January 20, 2004, 12:20:58 AM, you wrote to full-disclosure () lists netsys com: K> I am currious to know what you folks think the differences are between K> obtaining local SYSTEM on a win32 box and obtaining root on a Unix machine.
