FYI - Process cloaking...

fyi -
I just wrote some code to hide a process from the OS. In essence this allows MQ (or any other process for that matter) to run completely undetectable by all Win32 API; e.g. PSApi and the ToolHelp API can't detect the process and even System Internals Process Explorer and the Windows Task Manager can't detect the cloaked process(es).
Since SoE doesn't check client side running processes this isn't a big deal right now. Just so the rest of you know, however, we do have this stealth ability if we ever need it.
