Meet Two Security Researchers Apple Hates (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the my-exploits-are-better-than-yours dept.

This video is a half-hour speech given by Dino Dai Zovi and Charlie Miller, two people Apple corporately hates because of their success in finding security holes in Apple operating systems and software. Both Charlie and Dino have been mentioned on Slashdot before and probably will be again. This is a chance to see how they sound and look in person, talking to a small "by invitation only" group. They have a book to push, too: The iOS Hacker's Handbook. (Please note that this book is supposed to help you secure iOS and iOS apps, not exploit security holes in them.)

    Seriously... why the inflammatory headline? other than creating link bait. Why would Apple hate them? They're doing the R&D on security for them...

      Only a moronic company would punish someone for pointing out a security problem to them.

      You do realize that Google banned him for life, whereas Apple only banned him for a year... right?

      May we safely conclude that you hate Google and their products with the fiery intensity of a thousand supernovas, given your screed about Apple?

  2. Apple should love them by ackthpt · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Even go so far as to pay them. Finding these holes should be done before harm happens. Futher, Apple should review their coders who leave the gaps in and train (or sack) them.
