Re: [Full-Disclosure] local SYSTEM on Windows vs. local root on Unix

Dear KF,

For standalone box things are same. One can think it's possible to
protect file system against Local System under Windows, but this
protection can be bypassed. One may think it's possible to limit
syscalls for root under Unix - but Windows can be protected in same way.

For network (if can you get access to network having access to local
superuser account) everything depends on network infrastructure, not on
host OS, but NFS is usually less secure against this kind of attacks
comparing to CIFS.
