TippingPoint | DVLabs | PWN to OWN: Final Day (and another winner!)
Ubuntu, that is! From the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter:
CanSecWest PWN2OWN 2008 contest had laptops with various operating systems: VAIO VGN-TZ37CN running Ubuntu 7.10, Fujitsu U810 running Vista Ultimate SP1, and a MacBook Air running OSX 10.5.2. All in typical client configurations with typical user configurations. Anyone who could expose vulnerabilities on one of the machines, could keep it.
…
At the end of the last day of the contest, only the Sony VAIO laptop running Ubuntu was left standing, and unhacked.
Ubuntu is not only secure, it is easy-to-use, powerful, and generally awesome. And I’m pimping it, so you know it’s good. http://www.ubuntu.com/
