Mac OS X Security - Hacking Mac

This video demonstrates how important it is to activate the Mac OS X firewall even though no service is accessibly from remote. For demonstration purposes, an attacker exploits a vulnerability in iTunes in order to execute arbitrary code on a Mac OS X system. By doing this, he's able to install a simple backdoor.

Oh, trust me, if Macs ever come close to the market share of PC's, it will be a real world of hurt. There have already been viruses and trojans that have spread through Mac networks like wildfire. It's just as unsecure as a PC, and that's why there's antivirus software for it.

But I wouldn't count on the Mac revolution, considering the affordable and well-rounded Windows 7 is just around the corner.

You can commandeer a Mac OSX system in under 120 seconds if you remember the shell commands off by heart. Only reason you can't do it faster is because of the load times. In the hacking competitions in North America the Mac is the first to drop every time. The exploits and vunerabilities are wide and varied since Mac users often believe the myth that Macs are impervious to hackers and to virii/trojan/worm/etc programs. NOTHING is hacker proof. Period. Not even high-level mainframes. NOTHING.
