Did you consider reporting the vulnerability to Apple?

I never give up free bugs. I have a new campaign. It’s called NO MORE FREE BUGS. Vulnerabilities have a market value so it makes no sense to work hard to find a bug, write an exploit and then give it away.  Apple pays people to do the same job so we know there’s value to this work. No more free bugs.

Does anyone have a preference between Perl and Python?  Any positives / negatives, or situations where one is impractical?

SQL I agree with completely. 

I can agree with Javascript to a point I suppose.  Are there situations where you would be writing something in Javascript, or would it be beneficial for just understanding the code when looking at a web app?

Looks like you got a copy with an extra helping of Damn.


Do any other VMs recongnize it?

Thanks for the response, all.  I definitely had fun with the title/description, and hope that it will be great webcast.

Chris (congrats on the write up in DarkReading, btw)
542 is going to be made available via OnDemand.  The 6 day version of the course is being taught next week in Orlando for the first time.  Audio is going to be captured for use in OnDemand/Self Study.  542 is listed on the OnDemand upcoming courses http://www.sans.org/ondemand/upcoming.php (though something tells me that the Feb mark is going to have been missed slightly). 

The change that has me most excited about the new 6 day version of the course is that Day 6 will be Capture The Flag.

Also, though I have not read through all of the updated material yet, the course just feels more polished than when it was a 4 day course.  The layout and flow just seems to have a lot of forethought.  The previous 4 day version of the course was great, don't get me wrong, but this version just feels like what was always intended.

If you can't tell, I am pretty excited about the new version and serving as the TA in Orlando.

Let me know if I can answer any more questions about the course or webcast.  Hope to see you all online on the 18th.

Right, gotta finish packing for my 630 AM flight to Orlando in the morning.

Thanks,
Seth

I'm taking 542 (web app pen testing) should be in around noon on Sunday.
