Plus: pretending that you're on the same page as Microsoft (from a security standpoint) to further your own argument is more damaging than it is beneficial. The entire "binary planting" concept was flawed from the very beginning. If you can drop a binary file on a user's machine - make it an executable and be done with it. There's nothing fancy or innovative about forcing applications to use specific DLLs - script kiddies have been doing it for over 10 years to inject custom code in multiplayer games.

I'm curious. Who is your contact at MSFT? Who is it that has told you they have a "Binary Planting Clean-up Mission" and where do they mention you as having anything to do with it? If you are going to claim MSFT's actions as substantive to your agenda, how about provide some details? t-----Original Message----- From: ACROS Security Lists [mailto:lists () acros si] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 1:41 PM To: 'Christian Sciberras' Cc: Thor (Hammer of God); full-disclosure () lists grok org uk; bugtraq () securityfocus com Subject: RE: [Full-disclosure] Microsoft's Binary Planting Clean-UpMissionHey Chris,I bet Microsoft actually like stating they just fixed yet another severe bug. Zero-day fixing is big business, you know....even if "zero" is past a few "days".I don't think Microsoft gains much from being able to say they fixed yet another bug - maybe if it were a bug they found internally and fixed proactively, butnotlike this. And I'm sure they'd rather be doing something else thanfixing:fixing a product costs a lot, and it generates no revenue.
