It might be a fun experiment to see what DLLs they're looking for :.) -Travis On Sun, Sep 25, 2011 at 2:57 PM, <kz20fl () googlemail com> wrote:

There are many services in Windows which run with SYSTEM account. If there exists even one such service whose executable is not protected by Windows File Protection, isn't it possible to execute malicious code (such as gaining Administrator access) simply by replacing the service executable with malicious one and then restarting the service. As a restricted user, what's stopping me to do this ? Is there any integrity check performed by services.msc or service itself before executing with SYSTEM account ?
