    Re: Pwn2Own 2009

    To be fair to the software that's been "owned," (especially Safari, which everyone is reporting as "within seconds") these guys have been researching and developing exploits for months in preparation of this event. It's not like they sat down with something they'd never seen before and went from there.

    Of course the exploits only take seconds, they're executing code to take over the machine, not downloading the Bee Gees discography.

    Very true. I found the Charlie Miller interview interesting.
