What do you guys think about D.I.R.T. ?

The ultimate hacker tool. It turns out your antivirus software and firewalls (I think they use "the way" that was described a while back and ZoneAlarm should be immune to it), and so fast they cant react. And neither can you, because you think that they are still working and infact so do they. But they arent.

They can get it to 99% of internetusers (who use Windows) machine via signed Active-X component (which is always executed in default settings what most people have), or Javascript (always executed) from web page or then via some Windows hole or bug.

"Only availbale to law enforcement" Yeah and XP is only available to beta testers. One more reason to add to my list of reasons to switch to another OS.

Ok, ok it was just a hoax... But actually it "could" be done.

I remember Steve Gibson told about the ways how to shutdown program without the program itself knowing that it has been shut down... and if you put trojan to a website and sign it and make it come as signed active-x component.... Hmmmm... It would work! To most users.
