It is difficult to implement built-in security. Windows 8 Security boot features are penetrated.

We previously learned that Microsoft will provide built-in malware and virus protection features in the upcoming Windows 8 operating system. One of the features is that it includes digital authentication when the system starts loading Windows 8, theoretically, this will defeat any malware that may reside on Windows 8 PC. However, foreign media Ars Technica reported that a security researcher Peter Kleissner created a Loader named "bootkit", which penetrated the Security boot feature of Windows 8 and went straight to the operating system kernel, you can even obtain full access to the PC or even encrypted drive.

Until now, Kleinsser has not provided details about the Bootkit tool, but will describe and publish the code at the MalCon meeting in Mumbai next week.

The Secure Boot feature has been penetrated and may be defective on UEFI. Because Windows 8 has not yet been released, even if the attack code is published, it cannot cause harm to the public.
