First Pwn2Own 2009 Contest Winners Emerge

Posted by timothy on from the good-work-if-you-can-get-it dept.

mellowdonkey writes "Last year's CanSecWest hacking contest winner, Charlie Miller, does it again this year in the 2009 Pwn2Own contest. Charlie was the first to compromise Safari this year to win a brand spankin new Macbook. Nils, the other winner, was able to use three separate zero day exploits to whack IE8, Firefox, and Safari as well. Full detail and pictures are available from the sponsor, TippingPoint, who acquired all of the exploits through their Zero Day Initiative program."

    I want to be the very best
    Like no one ever was
    To catch them is my real test
    To train them is my cause (oooh)
    I will travel across the land
    Searchin' far and wide
    Each Pokemon to understand
    The power that's inside! (Power inside!)

    Pokemon!
    It's you and me.
    I know it's my destiny!
    Pokemon!
    Ooh you're my best friend
    In a world we must defend!
    Pokemon!
    A heart so true
    Our courage will pull us through
    You teach me and I'll teach you
    Pokemon!
    (Gotta catch 'em) Gotta catch 'em Gotta catch 'em all!

    Every challenge along the way
    With courage I will face
    I will battle everyday
    To claim my rightful place!
    Come with me, the time is right!
    There's no better team
    Arm and arm, we'll win the fight!
    It's always been a dream!

    Pokemon!
    It's you and me.
    I know it's my destiny!
