Microsoft recently got C2-security status approved for Windows NT by the National Computer Security Center, a division of the NSA. They are supposed to put systems through "laborious testing and review" before they approve C2. So, if one can find bugs in NT's security, one can toss a little more egg on the NSA's face and the sham that part of their activies to *help* to secure american computers. A simple violation of NT's C2 status would be to demostrate a flaw in it's memory protection implementation. Personally, I think NT is *riddled* with bugs waiting to be discovered. Hell, even the NT "service pack" is included in the C2 status, which I bet has plenty of holes. If Cypherpunks can find flaws that the NSA can't, or won't divulge, what does that say about their so-called COMSEC ability. -Ray
