Researcher Cracks Mac in 10 Seconds at PWN2OWN, Wins $5k
eli:
Charlie Miller, a security researcher who hacked a Macintosh in two minutes last year at CanSecWest’s PWN2OWN contest, improved his time today by breaking into another Mac in under 10 seconds.
Kinda what happens when a security expert spends all year just coming up with a crack that they can miraculously unveil knowing full well that nobody else has found it, and by extension, it’ll remain unpatched.
Don’t get me wrong, CanSecWest has its uses, but with each passing competition, I’m less sure that this is it.
