User Account Control (UAC) is a technology and security infrastructure first introduced with Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system. It aims to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an increase in privilege level. In this way, only applications that the user trusts receive higher privileges, and malware is kept from receiving the privileges necessary to compromise the operating system. In other words, a user account may have administrator privileges assigned to it, but applications that the user runs do not also have those privileges unless they are approved beforehand or the user explicitly authorizes it to have higher privileges.
Nostamal, no.
To reduce the possibility of lower-privilege applications communicating with higher-privilege ones, another new technology, User Interface Privilege Isolation is used in conjunction with User Account Control to isolate these processes from each other.[1] One prominent use of this in Internet Explorer 7's "Protected Mode".[2]
Veis que tiene cierta similitud con apparmour... ;-)
Se parece TANTO al sistema de permisos de unix... (sin ACLs!) A ver, si un usario quiere ejecutar algo tiene que llevar el +x para su usuario. Si un usuario ejecuta algo sobre lo que tiene permisos, y ese algo resulta ser maloso, sólo afecta a sus fiecheros. No? Diablos, cómo se parece eso a los sistemas de permisos de unix! xD -- Saludos, miguel Los agujeros negros son lugares donde dios dividió por cero.
