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!

QUOTE (zetec @ Mar 8 2006, 06:50 PM) if you read the zdnet arcticle, the hacker A ) used an unpublished exploit, and B ) the box they set up to h4x0r had no extra security hardening, it was more on a user-level than a server level get your shit right. And to top that off it was an exploit in the user permissioning code. What bothers me is that Apple has made no comment on fixing the exploit even though they apparently know what the problem is. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
