At Black Hat USA 2006, David Maynor and Jon Ellch spoke on "Device Drivers"
and some may remember it caused a lot of speculation and conspiracy
theories. Now David Maynor has published details of the controversial Apple
Wi-Fi hack he disclosed last year.

>From Computerworld:
"By going public with the information, Maynor hopes to help other Apple
researchers with new documentation on things like Wi-Fi debugging and the
Mac OS X kernel core dumping facility. "There's a lot of interesting
information in the paper that, if you're doing vulnerability research on
Apple, you'd find useful."

Maynor will soon publish a second paper on Uniformed.org explaining how to
write software that will run on a compromised system, he said.

As for his detractors, who will say that this disclosure comes too late,
Maynor says he just doesn't care what they think. "Let them tear me apart
all they want but at the end of the day the technical merit of the paper
will stand on its own."
