2001?  My hardening doc was written in 1995, and even then that was
not completely undiscovered information.  It's been sitting in plain
sight, in security related KB's ever since at least NT 3.5.  You just
had to know enough to look for it.

I don't think it wasn't until people starting compiling procedural
security docs (like I did), did it start to really become widely
known.  It was unfortunate that it took MS so long to disseminate this
information themselves in a more accessible way with their own Best
Practices documentation and Security Checklists years later.

Null pipes are evil.
