Pwn2Own 2012 Set To Reveal More Browser Vulnerabilities Than In the Past 57
darthcamaro writes "In any given year, Slashdot always has stories about how a researcher hacked a browser in only a few minutes at the Pwn2own hacking challenge. This year the rules are a bit different, and instead of hackers winning for just one vulnerability, the rules allow for multiple vulnerabilities to be presented. The winner isn't the first one to hack a browser, but is the one that can hack the browser the most. 'In the past, due to the way the competition was architected, we had lots of sensationalist headlines, things like "Mac hacked in three seconds,"' said Aaron Portnoy, Manager of the Security Research Team at HP TippingPoint. 'We don't think that type of sensationalism was representative of all the research that was going on.'"
My plan (Score:2, Funny)
1. Hack the browser once using a single vulnerability.
2. Install lots of new vulnerabilities on the compromised machine.
3. Win the contest by exploiting each of those vulnerabilities.
4. PROFIT!!!
