The presenters clearly got paid off by apple.. in the defcon talk they were whinging about the metasploit guys being offered $80,000 to $120,000 for unreleased exploits and they weren't prepared to release the code to the emails they got offering $10, $100, $1000 for the copies of the exploit
That's why in the video they used a "generic" wifi card when they admitted the standard apple wifi driver is broken as well
They said they haven't released the code because "they need to check all the apple platforms that are effected" IE they are waiting for apple to deliver them a whole bunch of free hardware
These guys were complete sell outs -- no live demonstration because they were afraid that the WIFI would be sniffed at DEFCON..... so coming to a full disclosure conference they are basically saying they don't trust disclosing to the attendees...
In the video they call the script "bad seed" so it's probably something to do with a PRNG in the crypto somewhere (or IV)
