During the Stealing Guests…The VMware Way presentation at ShmooCon this weekend, FYRM will be holding a contest to give away an external hard drive. The first person to exploit the discussed vulnerability on the target virtual machine and yell out the hidden phrase will win the hard drive.
In the presentation, a Perl script will be released to easily exploit the vulnerability. The to-be-released tool runs on Mac OS X (with MacPorts) and most Linux distros. Currently, the tool requires the following Perl dependencies:
- LWP::Simple
- XML::Simple
- Data::Dumper
- Crypt::SSLeay
Bring your laptops and netbooks to the presentation to try the tool and win the hard drive. Check back often for any updates.
