malla Ubuntu

[mourad sahli]

la nouvelle date de 2008 plus precisement le 30 Mars :)

et meme si je suis un linux/fan/user je me permet de dire que c'est
une faille de Flash qui a ete exploitee sous Windows . et flash se
trouvé aussi sous linux ...

la faille exploitée pour le Mac se situerait apparemment au niveau la
bibliothèque PCRE (manipulation d'expressions régulières compatibles
Perl) qui est utilisée par le moteur JavaScript de WebKit/Safari.
Cette bibliothèque open source étant aussi présente dans Gnome , elle
aurait vraisemblablement pu servir à attaquer la machine sous Ubuntu.
Le Hacker aurait-il préférerrepartir avec un Mac plutôt
 qu'un PC ?

Some of the show's 400 attendees had found bugs in the Linux operating
system, she said, but many of them didn't want to put the work into
developing the exploit code that would be required to win the contest.

Earlier, Miller said that he chose to hack the Mac because he thought
it would be easiest target. Vista hacker Macaulay didn't dispute that
assertion: "I think it might be," he said."

> The Linux fans will be thrilled to find out that their favorite operating
> system have proved the safest at the contest organized this week by the
> security firm TippingPoint.
>
> The contest was in Vancouver, Canada and it had three phases: during the
> first day, only network attacks were allowed, but none of the laptops could
> be broken into remotely. In the second day, rules stated that the hacker
> could give instructions to a staff member. During the third day, the rules
> of the contest allow the installation of popular 3rd party client
> applications on the notebooks.
>
> The prizes were $20,000 for those who would manage to break the security of
> the laptops in the first day, $10,000 on day two and only $5,000 on the
> third day.
>
> Apple's MacBook was first to be hacked and for the team led by Charlie
> Miller, an analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, two minutes were
> enough to break the notebook.
>
> The team of Charlie Miller, Jake Honoroff, and Mark Daniel from Independent
> Security Evaluators has successfully compromised the Apple MacBook Air by
> exploiting a brand new 0day vulnerability in Apple's Safari web browser.
>
> In the third and final day Shane Macaulay from Security Objectives won the
> Fujitsu U810 laptop running Vista Ultimate SP1 after it was installed with
> the latest version of Adobe Flash.
>
> In addition he won also $5,000, which he will probably share with the
> friends who helped him, Derek Callaway and Alexander Sotirov.
>
> At the end of the third day, a Sony Vaio VGN-TZ37CN laptop running Ubuntu
> remained unhacked.
