A taped demo at Blackhat (taped because the demonstrators were fearful someone would interfere) was supposed to show a MacBook wireless vulnerability. As it turns out, the drivers that SecureWorks researchers used were from a third party.
So much for taped demos.
***UPDATE***
You have to love this line:
“As part of a responsible disclosure policy, we are not disclosing the name of the third-party wireless device driver until a patch is available.”
Responsible disclosure my ass. Can anyone say “banned from Blackhat demos, for life?”
***UPDATE 2***
Maybe that should be journalists banned from Blackhat instead.
