   Does opening an email count as a valid vector on the mobile phones?

   "...Prizes for PWN2OWN now at $50,000! #CanSecWest. To answer, yes, only open to conference attendees."
   ... http://twitter.com/dragosr/status/8891784937
   
   How come :( Do we really need to pay (CDN $1400 - CDN $2100 CanSecWest registration fee) to get in the Pwn2Own competition ?

3. Ricky Laishram commented on 2010-02-16 @ 13:47

   Is there any reason that Ubuntu was excluded from the contest after the 2008 event?
   I would love to see how Ubuntu (or any other Linux OS) fares.

4. BitCrazed commented on 2010-02-16 @ 18:56

   Why isn't Chrome being tested on OSX and Linux?
   
   And why is Linux completely missing from the matrix? That indicates a rather unfortunate bias and calls into question the validity and the entire point of these contests, no?

5. Anonymous commented on 2010-02-17 @ 04:22

   No Windows Mobile target? I guess that's just too easy a target and you might as well give the money to the first person walking past.

6. DooMMasteR commented on 2010-02-17 @ 04:57

   If someone would break the Milestone, that would be a Milestone, also because nearly all future motophones will incorp the Milestones security features which seem unbreakable so far.

7. Poseidon commented on 2010-02-17 @ 05:06

   Would be great if the Motorola Android Device would be a Milestone, the Droid already runs custom ROMs, but the Milestone has a tight chain of trust preventing a change of the boot (linux kernel) and recovery partitions.

8. MauiMauer commented on 2010-02-17 @ 06:02

   Well, the DROID is already pretty hacked, since Motorola seemed to forgot about enabling the signature checks on the firmware like they did on the european version of the DROID which is called MILESTONE.
   
   @Pwn2Own: So would you mind including the MILESTONE as possible target for an Motorola Android Phone? AFAIK, the MILESTONE is due to be released in the U.S. for Non-Verizon Networks pretty soon. Cracking a hole in that nasty "tivoisation" of an otherwise great phone should be a real challenge.

9. Anonymous commented on 2010-02-17 @ 07:12

   Please consider hacking a Motorola Milestone instead of a Droid.
   It's nearly the same, but it has many Signature checks that prevent it from booting a custom kernel, which works for the Droid.
   Custom ROMs would really benefit from this

    E62?!?!?!
    
    That's positively ancient - I expected an E72, E52 or even an N97! The E62 was released in 2006 - and the rest are recent products.
    
    WAT?

11. Anonymous commented on 2010-02-17 @ 11:26

    Some questions:
    * Why IE 7 on Vista and XP? IE8 installs on both of them.
    * Will standard user account be used on Win7 / Vista?
    * Will FireFox be set to use low integrity level in Win7 / Vista?
    * FireFox on Ubuntu would be nice to have, too.

12. The_Outrider commented on 2010-02-17 @ 12:44

    What is considered a valid hack?
    
    Getting a command line on the target computer?
    
    Or defacing the browser?
    
    Or Installing malicious code within the browser to gimme all their cookies/passwords/etc?
    
    Or Yes to all of the above?

13. Curious commented on 2010-02-17 @ 12:54

    Since you are not including any Linux or BSD variant this year, is it safe to assume you are being paid by Microsoft to exclude it?

14. Aaron Portnoy commented on 2010-02-17 @ 14:20

    @Anonymous regarding email as a vector:
    Yes, opening an e-mail will be a valid attack vector on the mobile phones.
    
    @Abdullah:
    We've had people compete by proxy in the past. If you know someone in attendance, they can act for you.
    
    @Ricky Laishram:
    Ubuntu and other Linux variants were excluded because they do not hold enough market share as a desktop operating system. Sidenote: why isn't PaX everywhere it should be? Oh, right: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/706950
    
    @BitCrazed:
    Chrome can be tested on OS X if a competitor requests it, I see no reason not to. On Linux, however, it is not going to be allowed for the same reason as stated above.
    
    @Anonymous regarding Windows Mobile:
    We decided not to include a Windows Mobile Target because we decided it isn't popular enough and is not as interesting a target as the others.
    
    @DooMMasteR, Poseidon, MauiMauer, Anonymous regarding the Milestone:
    We are still considering a few devices for the Android platform. Check back on this page for updates once we get ahold of the actual devices. As for the E62, that might also change to a different model.
    
    @Anonymous regarding browsers:
    IE7 on those platforms because express updates will not push IE8 on the user, but it will upgrade IE6-7. Regarding user accounts, we will create a user with Administrative privileges on Win7 and Vista. Firefox will be installed in a default state (it doesn't ask about integrity levels by default).
    
    For questions about the rules and eligibility, please e-mail the press contact as listed above.

15. Dragos Ruiu commented on 2010-02-18 @ 03:14

    Abdullah: if you look back at the historical winners you'll see that often exploit authors find a proxy attendee to front their PWN2OWN entry. Consider the challenge of competing if you are not a registrant a "you must be this tall to ride this ride" bar, as the stipulation that only registrants can compete doesn't seem to have been a serious limitation to anyone in the past - the contestants seem to be a resourceful and enterprising lot, comes with the territory.

19. Hif commented on 2010-02-18 @ 13:32

    It's pretty silly to not even include Opera. It's the #1 mobile browser and all that. Also, it's the most secure desktop browser.

20. MarkG commented on 2010-02-21 @ 05:56

    Clearly Opera is being deliberately left out here, it's got the BIGGEST mobile marketshare (bigger than iPhone and Blackberry combined), and it's desktop browser has more marketshare (globally) than Safari.
    
    I wonder what they are so scared of? Failing?

21. Eralper commented on 2010-02-22 @ 03:21

    I believe this contest series is a leading event for software vendors creating more secure applications. This is valid also for users of those applications, I'm waiting the results of the web browsers. The results will affect my desicion on the web browser that I'll use for the next year.

    What is Ubuntu just to tough, so rather than calling them the champion we will just exclude them.

    It does indeed seem like the selection of targets is dictated by market share. Or rather to keep that market share intact among the targets!

27. optyk phyba commented on 2010-03-24 @ 21:38

    i was just wondering whether the x64 versions of IE8 and firefox were allowed? or was that up to the competitor to decide? considering that win7x64 was used i would have thought that IE8x64 would be a valid target as it ships with every version of win7x64.
    personally i use the x64 versions of both IE8 and firefox and only use opera if i need to view a flash based web site which isn't often.

29. Øyvind S. commented on 2010-03-25 @ 04:14

    Can you guys PLEASE get you heads out of your asses and include Opera in this, already??
    
    Opera runs on HUNDREDS of different devices! See this list:

    Opera is the #1 mobile browser in the world:

    So, you better have a good explanation this year!

30. Anonymous commented on 2010-03-25 @ 04:20

    Excluding Linux because "not enough market share" is just an arbitrary excuse. How do you define "not enough"? In this case it seems to be defined as "more market share than Linux, less market share than OS X".
    
    

31. Øyvind commented on 2010-03-25 @ 04:25

    Opera runs on hundreds of different phones:

    So, stating that Opera has too low a market share on mobile is ridiculous.
    

32. deadhead commented on 2010-03-25 @ 06:54

    They left Opera out cause they KNOW they cant hack Opera an do not want the EMBARRASSMENT of national news that couldn't hack Opera 10.50!
    
    Same goes for Linux.

33. Joffemannen commented on 2010-03-25 @ 07:56

    What are the conspiracy theorists getting at in these comments? The platforms/browsers are chosen to support those vendors? But they will be hacked? How would that maintain the market share status quo?

    Good work. But I have a few questions:
    1. Why was opera excluded?
    2. Why was ubuntu excluded?
    3. Why was Windows Mobile excluded?
    4. Since Chrome, Firefox and Opera have browsers that run on all major Operating systems, wouldn't testing the same browser on different OSes reflect on the security of each OS?

36. Buster B commented on 2010-03-25 @ 10:45

    Wait a minute... how is getting a user to visit a malicious website meeting the rule of 'little to no user-interaction'?
    
    It strikes me the iPhone "exploit" relies heavily on social engineering and little on computer engineering. I want to see someone hack an iPhone with *no* interaction what-so-ever. It's hardly sound engineering to rely on stupidity for your design to succeed. And it sounds like zero interaction would cause epic fail to ensue.
    
    But I guess that wouldn't draw in the attention and the dollars, would it?

37. Matt commented on 2010-03-25 @ 12:55

    Really? Not a single Opera exploit? I guess my phone is safe then?
    How hard would it be to include it? Would failure every year really put you guys down?

38. Marcelo Nascimento commented on 2010-03-25 @ 12:55

    If the market share and popularity was considered, why the browsers wasn't installed on Windows XP on first day, as it hold the biggest market share? See at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems

39. Anonymous commented on 2010-03-25 @ 14:08

    As an Opera afficionado, and particularly noting the javascript performance enhancements with 10.50 and recent further updates in 10.51, it's almost painful to watch the flailing around trying to avoid talking about it, using bits like 'market share' as if they meant anything in the world of security as anything other than "how many units can we hack with this", or 'not open source' as if MSIE was either.
    
    even with a marketshare of 3-4% you're still talking about tens of millions of users.
    
    With new tech like Opera Unite, you'd think there would be even more vectors with which to play and test, but oh agony, marketshare.
    
    Opera's a great browser, making great strides, and bringing cool new stuff to the table. It's about damn time people started noticing that. And they release builds for a multiplicity of linux distros. Kudos to them for that.
    
    No, they're not open source. But it is still free.

40. sQk commented on 2010-03-25 @ 15:47

    Hmm, I'm thinking that the marketshare data might be a bit off, due to the fact that some browsers, Opera for example, has a setting to identify it as IE or something else.
    Opera recently improved its performance, and is now up there in the top 3's performance wise.
    
    I think that Opera should be included in the competition. aswell as other browsers not running on their "mother OS" , Safari on windows for example.
    
    The results of pwn2own is definately a major factor in choosing a browser.

41. Anonymous commented on 2010-03-25 @ 16:08

    Of course. Because the Linux market share for servers isn't bigger than the OS X market share on desktops...

42. Anonymous Freetard commented on 2010-03-25 @ 16:35

    I call BS! Total BS!
    So Ubuntu was major enough to be in and win the little contest 2 years ago but not now? What happened?? What did I miss?? Was there a mass migration of Desktop Linux users back to Windoze? Did Ubuntu shut down and stop production? WTF?
    
    The installed base of Desktop Linux is **AT LEAST** as big as that of the iPhone. BS!

44. Doc Atomic commented on 2010-03-26 @ 13:23

    Regarding OS/apps selection: while I do understand Mr. Portnoy's point, I also sympathise with the views of the objectors. Accordingly, I wish to suggest a compromise: retain the existing Pwn2Own direction and 'Corporate' focus, for that does serve to draw the attention and funding; however, consider expanding the agenda by one additional contest event, to be run as a 'follow-up' event after the completion of the main ones.
    
    This suggested additional 'follow-up' contest event would have an entirely different focus, however: specifically, it would be an event offering a cash prize for the most secure system(s). Its contestants would each in turn submit their systems to various attacks launched by the winners of the previous events; the system that stands the longest wins the prize, but the system itself in turn must then become the property of the person(s) or organisation(s) responsible for putting up said cash prize initially. Attackers are allotted a period of one year to break into this event's contested systems; in other words, the duration of time between the main Pwn2Own events. Any successful exploits must be publically disclosed, and the information learned may then be incorporated into the next year's entrant systems.
    
    The overall goal would be to find the most secure platform, system, and application(s). I should think that perhaps various Governments and branches of the Military may be interested in sponsoring such an event, as well as possibly some major financial institutions.

    "Google Chrome remains untested and the last browser standing as of Day 2."

    I don't care if Linux has low desktop market share or not, It's still very relevant since most servers run on Linux. Mainly because it's considered so secure. That makes Linux very interesting platform for me.
    
    Leaving Opera out was expected from US-centric competition, but nevertheless disappointing.

48. Winston Smith commented on 2010-03-27 @ 10:40

    NOW THIS is the way ALL software should be tested!
    Set a company test budget for Each UNIQUE (be generous) Crack Found for a particular piece of software or "patch" on a specific target. Cracker wins a rather large prize, different ways in/around are also covered.... And the game begins what it was on my multi-High School PDP-10, Points for cracking, access to the machine room WHEN you fix it, or for friend who does same. We had the most secure KA-10/TOPS-10 system in the nation, anyone who adopted patches supplied DECUS were days behind (when software was SENT on DECTape or punched paper tape.
    BONUS PRIZE:Should be awarded for each unique crack of the "patch". It's a hell of a lot better than the way most folks usually find out. DUD PRIZE: 48 Hrs after hole is found, it becomes VERY public.
    Here comes a candle to light you to bed...

    I would call the linux not there total bullshit. More i would call that it was probably paid by M$ for linux to not appear in Pwn2Own. It made a bad PR in 2008 when Windows failed while Ubuntu survived. While it may be hard to try to break into 300 distros out there but at least one Linux distro shoudl appear. I call it total corruption with M$'s money (considering even M$'s slideshow showed Linux as having more user share than Mac!!).

    Why Safari on Snow Leopard only? There is FF, Opera, Chrome and IE for Snow Leopard, and theres Safari for windows too.
    Why is Opera excluded again?
    Theres a FF 3.6, you know?
    
    Which other security solution is installed in the system? Norton IS, COMODO, Avast, etc.?

    "Ubuntu and other Linux variants were excluded because they do not hold enough market share as a desktop operating system":
    
    As security is the focus here, Linux should be included. It is fair for people to think tippingpoint is commercially biased here, because the argument 'market share' does not hold.
    
    "...and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers":
    
    As IE, FF & Safari fail all the time, shouldn't be the focus be on to find more secure alternatives? (Be it alternatives which are still good enough to be used both in a production and home environment.) 'Market share' is not a valid argument on itself.
    
    "...a bunch of fucking idiots who can't understand that the selection of targets is dictated by market share.":
    The point is not that such in not understood (which is false); the point is that such is not agreed upon (that it is a valid argument). So the idiot here is you.
    
    "What are the conspiracy theorists getting at in these comments? The platforms/browsers are chosen to support those vendors? But they will be hacked? How would that maintain the market share status quo?":
    
    That would maintain the market share status quo, as no 'more secure alternatives' are presented/tested. Thus, the general user who never heard of Linux or Opera, will not use that, even if such would be much more secure.
    
    While i do not think Opera is 100% secure (if you believe MS, it even falls veeeeery far behind IE, security wise), it is still an epic fail to not include it. Ubuntu should be included too.
    
    While Aaron Portnoy tells us basically that Linus is wrong not wanting to use PaX, tippingpoint itself is wrong not wanting to use Linux, which is considered much more secure by most (also without PaX). Shouldn't the goal be to find the most secure setup? And then promote that setup. Yes, it should.

55. Anonymous commented on 2010-04-01 @ 10:43

    Marketshare bs.
    
    Instead of leaving out Linux, put a higher prize on it, same for other software with "lower" market share. That would make them more attracting. This is the only way this competition would ever be fair.

    With so many browsers floating in the market, it is the common customer at the receiving end. With so many claims and counter claims, selecting the right browser is so difficult. Wondering if some standards could be set up and enforced by some regulatory bodies to save the customers from unknown security breaches.
    
    The companies selling the browsers must be made responsible for security breaches and the resultant loses.

75. hesus Fish commented on 2010-09-27 @ 09:32

    Pwn2Own is a contest that has good intentions using bad tech. The prize is astounding, considering the difficulties, they are a small price compared to the real prize of identifying the holes.

    Pwn2Own contest’s features vulnerabilities in parsing media, dynamic web content, e-mail, and other client-side issues have been published in the past. Many of the communication protocols that new and used mobile phones implement are the focus of a burgeoning field of security research.

     The first day of the annual Pwn2Own contest in which security researchers can win cash and hardware if they successfully compromise machines using zero-day exploits is finished. Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7, Firefox 3 on Windows 7, Safari 4 on Mac OS X 10.6, and iPhone OS 3 were all compromised during the competition. Google’s Chrome was the only browser left standing—and in fact, was completely untested. None of the researchers at the competition even tried to attack Chrome.

Dit gebeurde door met de browser van de iPhone te surfen naar een vooraf opgezette website, die het voor elkaar kreeg om een stukje code op de telefoon te draaien. Na het binnenhalen van de gegevens crashte de browser. Volgens de hackers zou het echter mogelijk moeten zijn om de exploit zo aan te passen dat de gebruiker niet doorheeft dat er iets aan de hand is.

Och för utvecklare av mjukvaror att ta reda på de säkerhetshål som har upptäckts och korrigera dessa brister i deras mjukvaror. Arrangerat av företaget TippingPoint äger tävlingen rum under säkerhetskonferensen CanSecWest. Enligt arrangörerna deltar ”några av de skarpaste hjärnorna inom säkerhetsforskning”. I potten ligger 100 ooo dollars prispengar delad upp i två kategorier: 40 000 för de som hackar webbläsare och 60 000 för hackning av mobila operativsystem.

     En realidad no en los dos casos. En cuanto a Chrome ninguno de los participantes se molestó en intentar atacar al navegador de Google porque llevaban preparados ataques a otros navegadores para llevarse el premio (dejando desierto, por cierto, un premio de 10.000 dólares). Al parecer existen agujeros de seguridad en Chrome pero demasiado laboriosos de explotar. En el caso de Linux los organizadores no consideran a este sistema operativo suficientemente extendido como para incorporarlo a la competición.

     ... tiền 10.000 USD từ nhà tài trợ 3Com TippingPoint. Pwn2own năm nay có thi tấn công vào các dòng smartphone cụ thể là Apple iPhone 3GS, RIM Blackberry Bold 9700, Nokia E72 dùng Symbian, HTC Nexus One dùng Android. Thông tin về Pwn2Own có thể tham khảo tại đây. Kế đến là “số phận” của trình duyệt Internet Explorer 8. Nhà nghiên cứu an ninh đến từ Hà Lan Peter Vreugdenhil đã thành công trong việc phá vỡ “phòng tuyến” của IE. Vreugdenhil thực thi một cuộc tấn công 4 lớp nhờ vào giải pháp vô hiệu hóa DEP (Data Excution Prevention) và ASLR (Address Space Layout), hai trong số các tính năng bảo mật mạnh mẽ nhất của Windows 7, sau khi máy tính của ban tổ chức truy cập trang web chứa mã độc. Vreugdenhil tuyên bố mình mất chưa đến một tuần để viết ra mã. Tiếp đến, chuyên gia có bí danh Nils từ MWR InfoSecurity đã thành công trong việc tấn công “Cáo lửa” thế hệ 3 trên Windows 7 phiên bản 64 bit, nhờ vào tiện ích calc.exe có sẵn trên máy, mặc dù hacker tuyên bố mình có thể “bắt chết” từ bất kỳ tiến trình nào của hệ thống để tiến hành khai thác. Sử dụng “yếu huyệt” từ lỗi bộ nhớ để tấn công, nhưng Nils cũng sử dụng các phương pháp tấn công nhằm vào cơ chế bảo mật DEP và ASLR như Peter đã dùng để tấn công IE8. Lỗi được Mozilla đánh giá ở cấp độ nguy hiểm nhất trong 4 bậc mức độ lỗi. Theo tiết lộ của chuyên gia này, anh chỉ mất vài ngày để thiết kế ra mã độc tấn công. Hiện Nils là sinh viên Trường đại học Oldenburg, Đức, người từng giành chiến thắng vang dội trước IE8, Safari, Firefox trong cuộc thi Pwn2Own năm ngoái. (Xem video clip tại đây) Google Chrome là trình duyệt duy nhất còn an toàn vì hầu hết các hacker đều... chào thua trong việc khai thác điểm yếu phát hiện được. Tất cả các “đấu sĩ” giành phần thắng tại cuộc thi đều được nhận giải thưởng trị giá 10.000 USD kèm với chiếc laptop đã bị hack gồm có: Apple Macbook Pro 15", HP Envy Beats 15", Sony Vaio 13", và Alienware M11x. FireFox đòi lại thị phần đã mất Thị trường trình duyệt web có một số thay đổi khi FireFox lần đầu tiên trong nhiều tháng đạt 24,5% thị phần, theo số liệu thống kê 40.000 website mà hãng nghiên cứu thị trường NetApplications.com theo dõi vào cuối tháng 3-2010. Tuy vậy, thị phần FireFox đã sụt giảm so với tháng 11-2009 khi “Cáo lửa” nắm giữ 24,8%. Thống kê từ NetApplications tháng 4-2010 Trong khi đó, Mozilla lại công bố bảng thống kê riêng của mình và cho thấy FireFox hiện đang “rất được ưa chuộng” khi nắm giữ gần 30% thị phần trình duyệt trên toàn cầu và 40% tại thị trường châu Âu, tương đương 152,7 triệu người dùng. “Kẻ chiếm đoạt” không ai khác chính là Google Chrome. Trình duyệt “bé hạt tiêu” đang trỗi dậy với 6,1%, tăng 0,5%. Anh em nhà IE với các phiên bản IE6, IE7 và IE8 hiện nắm 60,7%, sụt giảm 0,9% so với tháng trước. Safari của Apple nhích lên đôi chút khi nắm giữ 4,7% và Opera là 2,4%. Opera đã thật sự lột xác từ phiên bản Opera 10.5x, tốc độ tải cải thiện đáng kể và gần như nhanh nhất hiện nay. Trở ngại hiện có là phần add-on khá ít so với kho add-on đồ sộ của Mozilla FireFox. “Bong bóng” trình duyệt, cửa sổ cho phép người dùng Windows tại châu Âu chọn lựa loại trình duyệt tùy ý để cài đặt, đã giúp một số loại trình duyệt như Chrome và Opera có thêm thị phần từ ngay trong ngôi nhà Windows của Internet Explorer. Nhìn chung, thị trường trình duyệt còn đang lắng đọng chờ “quả bom” Internet Explorer 9 châm ngòi vào cuối năm nay. Trả lời với trích dẫn   ...

     JailbreakMe “shows exactly the threat scenario that mobile phones can face,” adds Vincenzo Iozzo, an engineer for Zynamics. Iozzo was part of a team that won an iPhone hacking contest earlier this year at the CanSecWest security conference in Vancouver. He explains that smart phones are often protected by a technology known as “sandboxing,” which is supposed to isolate some functionality in the phone from installed software, thus preventing attackers from gaining total control. JailbreakMe bypasses sandboxing, demonstrating a serious threat to the device.
