KJY9 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I dug a bit deeper. "From today's Washington Post: "During the course of our interview, it came out that Apple had leaned on Maynor and Ellch pretty hard not to make this an issue about the Mac drivers -- mainly because Apple had not fixed the problem yet. Maynor acknowledged that he used a third-party wireless card in the demo so as not to draw attention to the flaw resident in Macbook drivers. But he also admitted that the same flaws were resident in the default Macbook wireless device drivers, and that those drivers were identically exploitable." http://news.com.com/5208-12-0.html?forumID...88&start=-1 does anyone know if this is fixed yet Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28209-hijacking-a-macbook-in-60-seconds-or-less/#findComment-192916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Nonny Moose Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 GOD f***ing DAMMIT, I knew this {censored} would happen. The article was a fake. There is no exploit. There is an open challenge for them to replicate the results and they haven't taken the challenge (because they knew they would fail).
