Not really, I've discoverd a NTFS feature (BUG?).
well... If you have system/administrative privilages
in a disk.... you can read/modify a file even though
it has "EVERYONE: DENY" permission set.

All you have to do is read the file through RAW disk
access... instead of going through the standard
procedure. 

This will let you read/modify the file even-though it
has the permission "EVERYONE: DENY" For quick demo.
use any, file delete/recovery utility... to read a
file that has EVERYONE: DENY permission set.

--------------
But, this trick isn't limited to this... cauz i've
foud some intresting thing. 
--------------

EVEN THOUGH ZA has its so called; !33t feature
enabled, all a attacker has to do is, 

E:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs\> attrib/s +h +s +r +a 

{{{ and compress the folder (optional) }}}

Next time,  when ZAP or PC restarts... its so called,
TrueVector(r) driver in the kernel will fail to load
at all. (cheese!)

Now, DOES ANYONE SEES A HOLE down there.....   (O;
