Re: Mac OS X hacked in under 30 minutes

Univesity of michigan (I think) is hosting a counter contest to this
where "contestants" are not given ssh accounts.  I believe there
will be a web server and one other service running, and thats it. 
My guess is it'll last longer, although this hacker claims there are
dozens of undocumented buffer overflows, etc, for macs, so it may not.

If you read  some of the following posts, the hacker was given a
user account, and then pretty much just obtained root priveleges.

Is that a fair test ?
