This March, a hack contest called PWN2OWN, which reached it's 10th edition, will decide which one is the best: Internet Explorer 8, Firefox, Safari or Opera. In the past editions, the 'white hackers' had the fully patched Linux distributions, Windows and MacOS X in the arena. But this year, there are going to be two editions: a web browsers war and a second Mobile one, in which Android, iPhone, Symbian, Windows Mobile and RIM will battle for supremacy.
According to the organizers, Windows 7 will be used for the browser PWN2OWN hacking contest.
The official announcement says:
In the 2008 edition, MacBook Air was hacked in just 2 minutes while Windows Vista SP1 lasted until the second day of the competition. Ubuntu 7.10 couldn't be hacked. You can read all about the 2008 PWN to OWN competition, here.
