The author of the exploit that won that MacBook at CanSecWest is interviewed by John Gruber on his site Daring Fireball.
Gruber: What’s your background in computer security?
Dai Zovi: My background is primarily on the “adversarial” or “offensive” side of security testing. This typically involves playing the role of a determined and skilled attacker in order to compromise the security of a network, web application, software application, or operating system. This is done in order to test the security of the system in hostile conditions, find potential weaknesses, and improve the overall security of the system. Most recently, I have made the jump to a more “defensive” role in security management.
