Oh I see you are referring to a different contest then the one I was. I didn’t know Tipping Point had one as well. Good to know...there are two different contests where Mac is leading the fail.

Nice to know.

I see where tippingpoint was a sponsor of pwn2own. So are you referring to the same one as I am?

If so the person who hacked the mac listed several exploits in ADVANCE telling Apple they have serious issues and they failed to fix it. SO he used one of those hacks to win the contest. There were several more that he had queued up. I believe that’s how he won it a couple years in a row.

While Apple is patching after the fact you think they would fix it BEFORE hand.

We are referring to the same contest. The vulnerabilities are reported to the vendors AFTER the contest.

Safari, based on the open source WebKit, seems to be a serious problem. I hope all the other companies using WebKit wake up. Of course, ASLR and DEP didn’t help IE 8 from letting a hack either. Everybody needs to look to Chrome, which was never compromised.
