In addition to iOS, the Captive Portal vulnerability was discovered to exist in OS X 10.7 Lion [7]. iOS is based
upon Mac OS X, yet the security restrictions outlined above are not as stringent on OS X. With the recent release of OS
X 10.8 Mountain Lion, some security features appear to be heading in the direction of iOS, but it is not there yet. Due to
its strict security model compared to OS X, it is much more difficult to engender any potency with this vulnerability in iOS.
