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."
You are such a troll.
Your argument is stupidly flawed. Look, face it, this hack only works on a Mac, as Mac drivers and hardware are totally incompatible with a PC.
The problem is Mac users are smug, and think they're better than those people who run XP or Vista. Nothing could be further from the truth. Anyone with industry experience knows that the Mac is an imperfect computing platform - the iPod can't do Ogg, the Mac can't run business software like Visio or MS-Access, and the power just isn't there. There are no keyboard shortcuts, like ALT-TAB or F6... only CMD-., which is a stupid command for when it locks up. And the lack of a 2nd or third mouse button means you have to go through like ten layers of menus to perform any function - assuming you can perform the function in question on a Mac.
Mac is uselessness in pretty packaging, and there is no reason to buy one unless you only care about pretty.
lol, the ipod can't play OGG ? Considering the massive amount of music people have in Mp3 format I don't think that is much of a issue. Also there is no reason a Visio or Access couldn't be ported to OS X if Microsoft wanted to put in the effort , well except Access is crap. So in conclusion your Douche bag
those uber-assho7e will r3call that it
