Mac, Windows and Linux....any bets on who will be compromised first?

Ok cool, so theres going to be this thing with hackers....

... when do we get to see Angelina Jolie's boobies again?

I don't know if we are gonna see Angelina, there but definitely something going on in the hacking scene.... altho, if a Angelina look alike shows up the more the merrier... ;-0

oh, I just wanted to let everyone know also, that either this weekend March 28-30 or the first weekend in April we might be doing a SploitCast Conference call with all the geeks out there, and this may be a topic that we will discuss. As soon as something definite is set up the forums will be updated with that information.
Cheers... ^_^

Oh, Since last yeah Dino Dai Zovi was great at the 07 challenge..
I thought I would put in a podcast that was done with him,
http://media.libsyn.com/media/sploitcast/sploitcas ...
The newest member of the crew Matt Hillman from SploitCast interviews Dino Dai Zovi, discussing the fascinating topic of VM rootkits, OS X security, how to trick wifi clients, disclosure issues, and Microsoft security.

Update: Mac gets pwned 1st this year, http://security.itworld.com/5013/mac-hacked-first- ...
Miller, best known as one of the researchers who first hacked Apple's iPhone last year, didn't take much time. Within 2 minutes, he directed the contest's organizers to visit a Web site that contained his exploit code, which then allowed him to seize control of the computer, as about 20 onlookers cheered him on.

He was the first contestant to attempt an attack on any of the systems.

Miller was quickly given a nondisclosure agreement to sign and he's not allowed to discuss particulars of his bug until the contest's sponsor, TippingPoint, can notify the vendor.

Vista, you've never been so economical.

Oh dear . . Apple goes down first . . but but but . . Steve said . . I mean he said . . on the stage at Macworld . . there must be a mistake . . WAIT I know what it was. . it was was freaken Vista running under Bootcamp! Yeah that's what it was! Whew anybody got a smoke?

Man do I ***** LOVE THIS. Let's see all the Mac fanboys come up with some excuse.

"But, but, he's attacking the Mac! That's not allowed!"
"You're perfectly fine with them attacking Windows..."
"Shut up, Micro$oft fanboy!"

Throw a Gibson into the mix. Game over.

You mean apples marketing campaign has been full of ***** all along? Who would have thought..

"Within two minutes of the start, he directed the contest organizers to a certain website that executed his exploit." Mac hack.
HA,,, haha,,, ahahahahhahahahaa !!

Again everyone knows (everyone that isnt a Mactard) that Macs have MORE exploits, slower to fix them, and many times dont fix them at all. The only reason they dont suffer from viruses is they are not the main target of the market share, and since they are not, cannot spread a virus as fast.

Because there's so many rich hackers. the value is really low.

They get to take home the laptop they crack and the first one cracked is a Macbook Air. Not really surprising.

The winner gets to keep the laptop he exploits, of course he went for the Mac first! :)

I wouldn't say this is an OS exploit but, but a software exploit.

"The team had attack code already set up on a Web site, and was able to gain access to the MacBook Air and retrieve a file after judges were "tricked" into visiting the site. According to the TippingPoint DVLabs blog, a newly discovered vulnerability in Safari was used to gain control of the Air."

So the exploit was not an attack on the OS, but a web browser. Nothing was said if the exploit was specific to Safari on OSX.

I'm not an Apple/Mac fanboy either. Just wanted to point out what the exploit actually was. My thoughts would be not to run Safari but Firefox no matter what your flavor of OS is.

The choice of OS's for this are somewhat strange. Shouldn't they have something like OS X Server, Windows Server 2003, and Red Hat, rather than desktop environments? I'm just saying, for realism's sake...

I miss when digg was full of these kinds of stories :(

hot off the press, Vista laptop was also won by last year's winner!
