INDUSTRY NEWS The results of the CanSecWest 2009 PWN2OWN hacking contest are in. And guess what? The hackers won, and the browsers lost -- the lone exception being Google Chrome. Hackers successfully compromised fully patched Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari browsers, all using exploits that required the local user to load a malicious Web site. Today, that's how 99.999 percent of exploits happen. Dr. Charlie Miller, whom I've met a few times at Black Hat conferences in Las Vegas, took down the Apple Safari browser running on an Apple computer. Most reports said he did it in 10 seconds, but Dr. Miller later confirmed that he had the specific exploit in mind since last year's contest, but kept it secret so he could claim another cash prize and new computer. It's a bit like asking an artist how long it took him to paint a particular painting. "My whole life," the artist should respond, if he includes experience and practice in the equation. Check out this great interview with Dr. Miller for more |
