| To whom do you consider that I'm "pushing" Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt?

| All I've *ever* been doing is asking questions!

To all the readers of the x-posted news groups and all the http front-ends that access
them.

As for ...
"In particular, do you agree that "Rootkits can also hide in the Firmware
of Hardware Components, in the BIOS, Motherboard, Video-card EEPROM or
Alternate Data Streams....." ?

The part about Rootkits hiding in the Firmware of Hardware Components, in the BIOS,
Motherboard, Video-card EEPROM has already been answered. You brought it up before, a few
times, and you were told that it is incorrect. By you re-incarnating the subject matter
you are introducing FUD as if what you had been previously told was not factual.

As for ADS that is a whole different concept and is a way of hding a RootKit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_data_stream

There is a kind of RootKit methodology that has been used, that was NOT even mentioned,
and was used by the Gromozon malware family (which also used ADS) and was described quite
well by Marco Guiliani of Prevx.

Find that information and report back what that methodology is. That's worth discussing,
not "In particular, do you agree that "Rootkits can also hide in the Firmware
of Hardware Components, in the BIOS, Motherboard, Video-card EEPROM" ****.
