Worm Claimed For Apple OS X
SkiifGeek writes "Controversy is slowly building over the development of a claimed new worm that targets OS X systems, dubbed by its inventor Rape.osx. Using a currently undisclosed vulnerability in mDNSResponder, the worm is said to give access to root as it spreads across the local network. As with a number of recent Apple-related security discoveries, the author, InfoSec Sellout, is delaying reporting the vulnerability to Apple until after completing full testing of the worm. While the worm has yet to leave a testing environment (with 1,500 OS X systems), it is bound to join the likes of Inqtana and Leap as known OS X malware."
When the niggers raped the women I remained silent because I wasn't a woman
When the niggers raped the children I remained silent because I wasn't a child
When the niggers raped the other niggers I remained silent because I wasn't a nigger
When the niggers raped me, I couldn't speak because there were 4 black cocks in my mouth.
Ow, my ass hurts and my jaw is broken.
I guess 3/4 of Jobs' next WWDC speech must be rewritten now.

Exactly. Fuck Apple. And fuck Apple fanboys. Even toy computers can get "raped".
HA HA
It seems to me that the vulnerabilities in OSX will keep increasing as they keep layering stuff over their BSD core. It seems to me their kernel and lower level stuff is widely tested and secure, since you can see most of its source. However, software that they keep pushing out to improve OSX will probably be just as vulnerable as any of Microsoft's stuff.

Making a fully developed proof of concept worm to show all the iTards that their "invincible" attitude is as retarded as they are should be illegal? More power to the guy. He's making sure it's nasty enough for Apple and their fanbois to no be able to blow off, a real threat. I would have given no warning or announcement at all, just set it free (which already is illegal). The iTards need a good iSmack like this to make them iSTFU. I'm quite sure Apple will outbid whoever just to bury this and pretend that OSuX has never had any holes. Pretty much like the same as they already do.
(I know, I "lie", Apple has never had a single virus or worm ever. Yesterday's article on the on Elk Cloner's 25th anniversary was also a lie. And Steve Jobs is really is iJesus.)
Maybe because there was only 3 people looking for Mac vulnerabilities?
And each of them found one.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Where on earth will those dweebs find 1500 Macs on the same subnet to test this on?
Right.
isn't teh OitSuX supposed to be intrinsically immune to this kind of stuff? Weren't all those "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials telling us that only Windows can be infected, has programmatic errors, exploits, etc?
Damn, it's a shame the people creating those slick propaganda ads didn't know about SecurityTracker.com
It could have saved Apple a whole lot of embarrassment. As it is, OSX security is starting to look like a flimsy house of cards...
How many times does this have to happen before someone gets the message?
CLOSED-SOURCE SOFTWARE IS THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE MALWARE PROBLEM.
Open up the source code. Let the bad guys read it. Because at least that way, the good guys get to read it too -- and there are more good guys than bad guys.
On a tangent, what's the betting that if Apple sold chastity belts, Steve Jobs would have a master key that fit them all? And that customers would claim to like it that way?
Je fume. Tu fumes. Nous fûmes!
That's funny. An Apple hater pretends to be an Apple fanboy. Some other Apple hater is so oblivious of reality, and thinks Mac users are sto stupid and will say absolutely anything, that he thinks person 1 actually is a fanboy (and seemingly even takes person 1 as a reason to increase his own hate).
I think this is how Apple hating usually works, actually. Since it's hard to actually find a real-life crazy Mac user who pretends that Mac OS X is completely secure and that every bad thing happening to Apple is actually good, you just have to make up such a person to justify your Apple hating.
