NODE d0d16d15NT's C2 rating
"Brad Shantz" <bshantz@nwlink.com>Wed, 20 Mar 96 13:15:54 PST
I have been working for some time on a project that involves doing
proactive file authorization/authentication under Windows NT. In the
process, I've been working on an extension to the Kernel layer of the
operating system because we need to be able to catch read/writes to
the disk. (All perfectly legal according to the DDK, just
ot documented worth a damn.) All of this is designed to work
directly with the functionality given to us by the NT-Security layer.
Basically, I'm now questioning the C2 rating of Windows NT. The
entire security layer is modular to the Kernel. As a modular
driver, it can be removed, rewritten, and replaced.
So, what makes it secure? What gives it the C2 Rating? How would
one go about getting a C2 rating?

Good questioning.

The fine print says its insecure as soon as its connected to a network.
