We get that all browsers were pwned, but what OS where they running? For example, we can see on that post that there were three bugs in Firefox but we don`t know in what system those bugs would allow escalation of privileges and arbitrary code execution. Or is there a bug allowing arbitrary code execution in Windows, Linux, *BSD, Macs at the same time?!


All were running on Windows, except Safari which was running on OSX. You can see the details at this overly long URL from the contest organizers:

Here is my chance! Anyone know why hp.com urls are still, in 2015, so full of subdomains?


Because their web admins have not figured out how to do transparent load balancing.


Why?


Thanks a lot for the link.

I wonder how the score would go if linux and bsd targets were present and if they allowed chrome and firefox on mac os x as well...
