As part of this year’s Pwn2Own hacking contest, the prize will go to the first contestant to use security holes in Google-written code to escape the sandbox on a Windows 7 or OS X computer.
The Zero Day Initiative team at HP TippingPoint are also offering $15,000 prizes for those who can hack Safari, Internet Explorer and Firefox, as well as $15,000 and the device hacked for a handful of smart phones, including the Google Nexus S, the iPhone 4, the Blackberry Torch 9800 with Blackberry 6 OS and the Dell Venue Pro running Windows Phone 7.
On top of the prizes, winners will receive monetary bonuses for further ZDI submissions in 2011.
