The big difference between iSeries attacks and Windows attacks is that
a
number of the exploits we're talking about on Windows can bypass
Windows
security.  Just like the Rutkowska kernel code injection technique,
they can
install software beyond the privileges of the user.

A _small_ number of them patch in at that level, a very small #. And you
can do the same thing on the iSeries, just change the SEPT. Now, before
you go and say you can't change it without already having access to the
box, I agree, however see the next...

All these theoretical attacks on the iSeries require a valid user
profile
and password, as well as the authority to the objects. 

Um.... So do all the Windows attacks.... Remove my access to the box and
I can't attack it. I'm on a windows box right now, go ahead, attack
it... You can't. _ALL_ windows exploits require access to the box to
work too.
