10 Seconds to hack a Mac
http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_…Miller has won the PWN2OWN contest the past two years. In 2008, he was able to gain control of a Leopard-based MacBook Air using a newly discovered vulnerability in Safari. That took him less than two minutes. This year, it only took him 10 seconds or so to exploit a hole in Safari on a MacBook running Leopard.
"I had a feeling that Mac was easier (to hack) than Windows," he said. "If I can find the Safari bug or exploit in a few days and it would take me 10 times as long for IE, why would I do that? I go after the easiest guy."
- thing is, real hackers still prefer to hack windowsraf
- probably due to the low market share mac has, right?jerseyred
- but I'm just messing, I don't give a shit, use what you wantraf
- Yeah, I think it's basically market share...if Mac had more users it would be targeted more, and obviously Apple would have to spend more on securityukit
- spend more on securityukit
- totally, no point in hacking a mac, low % of people use them compared to pc
jerseyred - not anymore, it's actually a nice target, just hardly anyone's shooting. I'm surprised myselfraf
- ur right ukit - why would hackers waste time 2 hack an os w less users than another - less $, less reachjerseyred
- shoot away!
*loads gunukit - I'm more interested in phreaking (after a link on here about the phone guys) seems fun
