Hacker Publishes Notorious Apple Wi-Fi Attack

Posted by Zonk on from the ponying-up dept.

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."

    That Micro$oft still sucks, or it's just attacked more because it has more installations?

    A year passes, seasons come and go, the planet traces a circle of about 450M km around the Sun, 450M km? Which planet were you talking about again?
