This year the contest has been divided in two; part one is browsers on different platforms and part two is the software on cellphones turn. The prize this year is $100k, an amazing amount. The last couple of days the different developers has spent a lot of time and effort to secure the browsers, in vain if you ask me. As long as humans program the security other humans will break them.
Opera is not on the agenda, I guess its because it is Norwegian and unbreakable. It is also the fastest browser on the net too. :p
Heres my bets:
Part 1:
Safari on Windows 7 – hacked in 18 seconds
Firefox on Mac OS – hacket in 40 seconds
Internet Explorer on Windows 7 – hacked on 41 seconds
Part 2:
Safari on iPhone – 20 seconds
Mail on Nokia – 30 seconds.
What do you think? :)[/lang_en][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][lang_nb-no]Ikke uventet legger de store browser-produsentene seg i tøylene kort tid før pwn2own 2010. Nå skal de gjennom den store hacker-testen som starter 24. mars i Vancouver. I år er konkurransen todelt, del 1 er webleser-sikkerhet / operativsystem og del 2 er mobil-sikkerhet. Prisen for å hacke eller påvise sikkerhetsbrudd er 100 000 dollar.
Opera er ikke med på agendaen, men det forstår jeg godt for da hadde de sittet lenge.
I år tipper jeg følgende resultat:
del 1:
Safari på Windows 7 – hacket på 18 sekunder
Firefox på Mac OS – hacket på 40 sekunder
Internet Explorer på Windows 7 – hacket på 41 sekunder
del2:
Safari på iPhone – 20 sekunder
Mail på Nokia – 30 sekunder
Hva tror du?

Crashing the browser with HTML is easy, but I wouldn’t have a clue where to start to actually compromise the system. I wonder what the results were. I’m betting Chrome took longest 🙂
