One of the nicer ideas, but won't the hackers just crack the privilege and then offer tools/kits to gain access to the debugger/OS? In some ways it would present an even bigger challenge for the hacker to hack the OS. Hardware/device/driver developers are going to have a hard time without their debugger, although I guess provision could be made for them. On the subject of securing software, particularly end-user registration systems, does anyone have any good book recommendations for this? I just bought "Writing Secure Code" and this is proving a good read, but are there any books that deal with registration systems for commercial software at all in depth? Cheers Richard
