Re: Vulnerability in Mac OS X

The recent thing in 2009 edition of the Black Hat DC conference hackers was demonstrated that a method to execute code hidden in the Mac OS X memory. To hack to work, there is use of a known and confirmed vulnerability in Mac OS X. Although Apple leak still has not resolved itself but allows administrators to take action to close the leak.

Re: Vulnerability in Mac OS X

there are some things important for a successful attack, which go undetected, the execution of code that are not present on the machine and leave no evidence on the hard disk. Indeed, the whole attack is performed in memory, which goes out is what happened after the computer is turned off. but recently some technique allows the addition to code that is not present on the system and inject to implement, so the problem is solved.
