Apparently the MacOS box they've set up has been slashdotted to death, but they're basically claiming the ZDNet article that said MacOS X could be h4x0r0r0r0r00reDDDDddd in 30 minutes was false. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

So if you get access to the Mac box you can own it, the problem in this case is getting an account. He'd have to try all the default accounts, run brute-force dictionaries on accounts, figure out if any trusted IPs are allowed and spoof them, hijack the session between a legal user and the Mac box, or find a buffer overflow in some service that's running to let him in remotely.
Either way I'm sure it can be done by someone with enough persistance and know-how. The question is, who cares enough to even try? |
