Joanna Rutkowska is a Polish computer security researcher, primarily known for her research on low-level security and stealth malware.〔(Invisible Things Lab -- Resources )〕 She became known after the Black Hat Briefings conference in Las Vegas in August 2006, where Rutkowska presented an attack against Vista kernel protection mechanism, and also a technique dubbed Blue Pill, that used hardware virtualization to move a running OS into a virtual machine. Subsequently she has been named one of ''Five Hackers who Put a Mark on 2006'' by eWeek Magazine for her research on the topic.〔(Five Hackers Who Left a Mark on 2006 ), Ryan Naraine, eWeek.com〕 The original concept of Blue Pill was published by another researcher at IEEE Oakland on May 2006 under the name VMBR.〔(SubVirt: Implementing malware with virtual machines )〕 Its effectiveness is a subject of a debate among some researchers. During following years, Rutkowska continued to focus on low-level security. In 2007 she demonstrated that certain types of hardware-based memory acquisition (e.g. FireWire based) are unreliable and can be defeated.〔(Beyond The CPU: Defeating Hardware Based RAM Acquisition Tools )〕 Later in 2007, together with a team member Alexander Tereshkin, presented further research on virtualization malware.〔(IsGameOver(), anyone? )〕 In 2008, Rutkowska with her team focused on Xen hypervisor security.〔(Xen virtualisation swallows a "Blue Pill" )〕 In 2009, together with a team member Rafal Wojtczuk, presented an attack against Intel Trusted Execution Technology and Intel System Management Mode.〔(Attacking Intel Trusted Execution Technology )〕 In April 2007, Rutkowska founded Invisible Things Lab in Warsaw, Poland. The company focuses on OS and VMM security research and provides various consulting services. In 2010, she and Rafal Wojtczuk began working on the Qubes OS security-oriented, Fedora-based desktop Linux distribution whose main concept is "security by isolation" by using domains implemented as lightweight Xen virtual machines. Qubes 1.0 was officially released on September 3, 2012,〔(Qubes OS Homepage )〕 2.0 on September 26, 2014 and Qubes 3.0 on October 1, 2015. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joanna Rutkowska」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
