Microsoft Opens Its Security Research Cookbooks 87
greg65535 writes "Today Microsoft launched a blog about the internals of their IT security research and patch development process. There are already some posts that you will not find in the official security bulletins or KB articles. One of the posts says, 'We periodically identify workarounds or mitigations like this that we can't use for official guidance because they're either too nuanced or have some exception cases. When we discover something potentially useful but are uncomfortable listing it in the bulletin, we'll do our best to describe it here in this blog.' It looks like Microsoft is making an effort to become more 'open' in the area of security research and communication."

An unidentified program wants to use your little peep hole.
The source and purpose of this little peep hole is unknown. Don't use the peep hole unless you have used it before or know where it's from.

Quoted for hilarity. Up to that point I thought your post was actually serious. Haven't seen a punchline that good in ages.
