Mac Hacked in 2 Minutes, Apple is a lame patcher

March 27th, 2008 ·

At the CanSec West conference Charlie Miller wins the PWN 2 OWN contest. I think these contest are kinda lame as they do not prove much, other than Charlie Miller was most likely sitting on a vulnerability waiting until the contest. I still think it is some what cool that there are people that are still interested in OS vulnerabilities.

In other news some swiss guys (P.S. I LOVE your pancakes!) did a pretty good analysis of the time it takes for Apple and Microsoft to patch there disclosed vulnerabilities.  Apple sadly has a ways to go. I think they are still at the Microsoft in 1999 phase. Hopefully they wake up.
