Hack Macbook Air and take it home
This year’s Open Hack event will involve a fully patched Macbook Air with a default install of Leopard with all patches applied and the firewall set to default settings. Whoever hacks the Macbook Air, will take home a brand new Macbook Air + possibly USD5000.

Will you be going for the event?
Still expensive for students or any other normal people who are not earning much. I feel that it should be free so that more brain can come inside and so more ideas. Other day on Malaysian TV they were showing, Malaysian websites (most of them) are very bad in terms of security. Such even should be more regular and should be free to give people more awareness about security concerns.
-Eva, if i will get free pass I will go :)
-Khurshid, I believe it’s organized by private company, so I don’t think it can be free. If only gov could support it… then it would be different case.
If you get to go Ade, what are you chances of bringing home the MacBook?
PS3, it’s about “zero” ;)
Imagine being able to hack that! Do you think there is a realistic chance that somebody might get it right? MacOS ain’t Windows, that’s for damn sure! This leopard will be a tough adversary to conquer.
What are the chances?
