sometimes microsoft hires really good people like jimmy kuo and sometimes they really screw up and hire folks you maybe wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley... that seems to have happened with their acquisition of ep_xoff et all behind rootkit unhooker... you may recall i posted about this individual once before in relation to an apparent ethical conflict (ep_xoff wrote and released a stealthkit, or 'rootkit' for those drinking the rootkitDOTcom koolaid, capable of bypassing all stealthkit detectors save possibly microsoft's own strider winpe ghostbuster technology)...
what i didn't post about before were his reactions to the concerns expressed by myself and cd-man (here)... while his criticisms of me were little more than childish, according to dmitry sokolov, ep_xoff veered more into the realm of criminal behaviour by attempting to incite a DDoS against or defacement of cd-man's blog...
normally i would say that hiring such a goon would reflect poorly on a company, but since microsoft's moral compass isn't really known for pointing to true north, i suppose i shouldn't have expected better from them...
