Hacker Publishes Notorious Apple Wi-Fi Attack 114

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday September 19, 2007 @07:39AM from the ponying-up dept.

inkslinger77 writes "It's been about a year since David Maynor claimed to have found a way to take over a Mac using a flaw in a Wireless driver. He's now published his work for public scrutiny. Maynor had been under a nondisclosure agreement, which had previously prevented him from publishing details of the hack, but the NDA is over now and by going public with the information, Maynor hopes to help other Apple researchers with new documentation on things like Wi-Fi debugging and the Mac OS X kernel core dumping facility."

On top of that, he made that crack about stabbing Mac users in the eye with a pencil.
Who doesn't? I use a Mac and most members of the "Mac community" makes me want to do exactly that.
