Pwn2Own 2009 Winner Charlie Miller Interviewed 160
crazipper writes "Tom's Hardware interviewed Charlie Miller, winner of this year's Pwn2Own contest and formerly with the NSA. He discusses the effort it took before the contest to be able to take down a MacBook within seconds, sandboxing, and the effectiveness of the NX bit and ASLR. His outlook on end-users protecting themselves against attacks? 'Users are at the mercy of the products they buy.'"

Ya, know.... I thought about that. Then I thought...what if they know what I'm thinking?!!
So then, naturally, I didn't think about that. Showed them!

Thats where grandma's decades of real life experience is more useful than a 20 something's decade in moms basement.
Grandma can seduce her way onto any OS or system or network.
Or just have the best looking forum, blog, webpage or social networking page ever.
The best part is she passed the same skills onto her daughter too.
