iPhone hackers disclose vulns and hunt for clues

,----[ Quote ]
| Less than 72 hours after the iPhone's introduction, researchers have 
| reported at least one flaw that could allow an attacker some level of 
| control over the device, while other hackers have uncovered passwords 
| hiding in Apple software that could prove key in gaining root access,

"Today, Steve Jobs and Apple release a product crippled with proprietary
software and digital restrictions: crippled, because a device that isn't under
the control of its owner works against the interests of its owner.

We know that Apple has built its operating system, OS X, and its web browser
Safari, using GPL-covered work - it will be interesting to see to what extent
the iPhone uses GPLed software."
