Talk:Blue Pill (software)

I tried references 3,4,5 and 6 and none of them would load or produce something that wasn't a 404. Reference 2 successfully linked to an article but it was just a random news release about a shipment of chips being 6-8 weeks delayed, nothing related to the reference description.

Reference 1 isn't a link but rather aDOI citation. This article has problems. -%%%% — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laced8 (talk • contribs) 11:37, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Title
Why is this article titled malware? It is a proof of concept of an exploit, not a malware. No party will be interested to install this particular program secretly on your computer, although they may use the idea to create a program that actually does something to generate them money. --84.178.109.58 00:46, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The definition on here for malware is "software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent", which I think sums this up pretty well (it does infiltrate the system). --Zootm 10:47, 27 November 2006 (UTC)


 * According to the author of the Blue Pill it is not malware but a technology that will make it possible to introduce malware to the system.
 * The technology is also not OS-specific and could be used on any OS.


 * Here are some quotes from her blog (http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html and http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html):


 * "There are number of ways of how Blue Pill could be exploited to create the actual malware (Blue Pill itself is just a "hijacking technology", not a malware)"
 * "I would like to make it clear, that the Blue Pill technology does not rely on any bug of the underlying operating system. I have implemented a working prototype for Vista x64, but I see no reasons why it should not be possible to port it to other operating systems, like Linux or BSD which can be run on x64 platform."

effectiveness
The article is incomplete. Now that it's source was released, did those guys from 2007 ever run it against their detector suite? -- Sy / (talk) 00:44, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

The "Red Pill" URL reference leads to an explanation of the Red/Blue pill concept as in the movie The Matrix, but not a similar software package as implied by the text. Tim-mnm (talk) 18:07, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Detecting virtualization != detecting Blue Pill
No time to fix the article at the moment but see this blog post: http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2007/08/virtualization-detection-vs-blue-pill.html

The page should be modified to reflect the point clarified there. —Jemmytc 19:39, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
