Worm Claimed For Apple OS X 398
SkiifGeek writes "Controversy is slowly building over the development of a claimed new worm that targets OS X systems, dubbed by its inventor Rape.osx. Using a currently undisclosed vulnerability in mDNSResponder, the worm is said to give access to root as it spreads across the local network. As with a number of recent Apple-related security discoveries, the author, InfoSec Sellout, is delaying reporting the vulnerability to Apple until after completing full testing of the worm. While the worm has yet to leave a testing environment (with 1,500 OS X systems), it is bound to join the likes of Inqtana and Leap as known OS X malware."

I agree. We should also question the ethics of Theo de Raadt. After all, this guy published an exploit for OpenSSH. Who does this guy think he is? Hell, he should have given the problem to the developers of OpenSSH to fix it, not be out there releasing exploits and stuff.
