Is this the 80's? - Deja Vu at its finest!

Holly crap 2008! And this sounds like a considerable amount of fun. http://www2.gmer.net/mbr/
Basically, hack the MBR on any NT based machine hide you code in a few sectors of disk (really hard to delete something that is not a file), execute code before passing control to ntldr, patch the kernel and then you are done pretty much. And all this from the fun park that is userland. I think!

This is straight out of the DOS days. MBR virus' and attacks. Have OS developers learned nothing since the 80's. Get a grip MS people and sort this out!

Cool site tho. Will have to take a look at GMER and let all you wonderfull people know what the double D thinks. I like the way the site actually goes into assembly, it appeals to my inner (and outer) geek.
