“The idea behind Blue Pill is simple,” says Joanna Rutkowska of
invisible things. “Your operating system swallows the Blue Pill and it
awakes inside the Matrix.”

No reboot is necessary. Everything appears to work as always… but it’s

calling the shots.

Rutkowska claims that, even with Blue Pill code in hand, you can’t
detect it.
