Hi there,

following the thread about insecure online updates of MacOS-X, how about the online update of the Quicktime 6 player? It seems to connect the same way, only making a simple GET request without https or similar ways.
The reply is simple xml structure with embedded downloadlinks and checksums.
If I would get that far to make my own reply I could for shure make my own download links and checksums. A sample reply is attached.

Isn't the quicktime using community a much bigger target than MacOS-X users?

bye,
