   The IE exploit is the most interesting because it bypasses both DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), albeit in a very cumbersome way, The researcher, Peter Vreugdenhil, explains exactly what he did in a paper on his web site.

   Pwn2Own rules require the exploit code to read a particular file on the system in order to register that the exploit has run.

   Vreugdenhil, an independent researcher who specializes in finding and exploiting client-side vulnerabilities, used several tricks to bypass ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) and DEP (Data Execution Prevention), two significant security protections built into the Windows platform.

   That's very interesting indeed,
   apart of IE 8 vulnerabilities, I thought a 64 bit Windows O.S was the most difficult to be hacked.

   Pwn2Own winner hacks all

   THE WINNER of the Pwn2Own 2010 contest hacked everything in his path to claim £6,700 in prize money yesterday.
   Miller eventually claimed the prize by breaking Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 on a MacBook, its Safari browser, Microsoft's PowerPoint, OpenOffice.org and a selection of Adobe's notoriously unsecure apps. Only Google's Chrome is left standing.

   The Vole also got to watch Internet Explorer 8 bite the dust on a Windows 7 laptop thanks to the efforts of another hacker.
