I had to think about this a few days. My nomination for 'most leet' is the exploitation of hardware on the die of the chip: “Tarnovsky’s examination process involved subtle use of hardware-based liquid chemical and gas technologies in a lab setting to probe with specialized needles to build tungsten bridges.” http://blackhat.com/html/bh-dc-10/bh-dc-10-speaker_bios.html#Tarnovsky http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9151158/Black_Hat_Researcher_claims_hack_of_chip_used_to_secure_computers_smartcards Hardware hacking is a magnificent example of something everyone has always known was possible and largely pretended didn't exist.
basically, int. over., BO are generally considered elite yet barely new. XSS probably is not elite by 3l33t majority opinion. i was looking in the past and my heart was not beating fast ;-)
Runner up is the category of research enabled by USRP: http://www.ettus.com/products Particularly the GSM rainbowing and OpenBTS efforts: http://reflextor.com/trac/a51 http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan/events/3654.en.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/28/gsm_eavesdropping_breakthrough/ http://openbts.sourceforge.net/ You asked about 'sekurity bugz'. Not sure if these are the bugz you are looking for, :-) but its an answer to some question. - Marsh _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
