Hacker Publishes Notorious Apple Wi-Fi Attack
inkslinger77 writes "It's been about a year since David Maynor claimed to have found a way to take over a Mac using a flaw in a Wireless driver. He's now published his work for public scrutiny. Maynor had been under a nondisclosure agreement, which had previously prevented him from publishing details of the hack, but the NDA is over now and by going public with the information, Maynor hopes to help other Apple researchers with new documentation on things like Wi-Fi debugging and the Mac OS X kernel core dumping facility."
What you're saying is right, and also it made a lot of people curious that even though he was saying it worked on a stock Macbook and was willing to disclose that fact, he still chose to use a 3rd party WiFi card.
After all that, does anyone know why? Does this hack indeed work in a stock Macbook, and if so why wouldn't he just use the stock Macbook WiFi card?
Apple afficionados are like fucking religious zealots, which they so aptly demonstrated by the zeal with which they readily slandered Maynor after the exploit was revealed. Anything to discredit the infidel so the faithful could keep on sucking the mighty member of Jobs....
Correction: The fact that a year later after Maynor's exploit and two years after the first smarmy "I'm a Mac" ad nobody has done it tells me that nobody gives a fuck about Apple computers except fanbois like you.
"So if you're saying Apple will "lose you" as a customer, dickwad, because a post with actual correct information got modded up on slashdot, and isn't a "fanboi" (anyone who uses that term is the biggest fucking faggot ever) post in any sense of the term, then good riddance, cocksucker."
Another self-satisfied Apple fanboi speaks. Kudos! And you wonder why the world hates you?
