I like the Blue Pill concept, but it turns out that I'm liking the author even more...
- "Rutkowska, an elite hacker who specializes in offensive rootkit research"
- "She is also known for writing Blue Pill -- the first virtualization-based rootkit with nested hypervisors support, and also for her work on various kernel mode malware for Windows and Linux"

She's not that bad-looking....for a rootkit author
If she's still single and available, I don't mind she putting on as many rootkits on my PC for a night out in exchange
They call me the mysterious one...
my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby
