It’s funny to see that the myth of Linux security has become so entrenched that people would contradict even the best security hackers to keep the myth alive. Linux is nothing special, get over it.

If linux security is a myth why does he not go for breaking linux/FF than OSX/Safari? Wouldnt it be worth the bragging rights seeing as how it’s not been done at Pwn2Own before?

I don’t get the internet explorer recommendation. Serious flaws were the sole reason for attacks last year that made, if i recall correctly, the german government asking people not to use IE until...

ActiveX hasn’t been a problem since IE4. Let me guess? Wikipedia? Firefox Forums? Urban Dictionary? Don’t even speak of secunia either, they have no system as to how “serious” an exploit is. If I see...

G.J. sez: “I can recommend IE8, but also Safari(!), because it is safer and it better in use (better designe, faster etc.)” Faster? No. Microsoft themselves have apologized that version 8 is still slow...

@G.J.: Still, that justifies nothing. You just replaced one unjustified statement with another one. So you’ve added nothing of relevance. I’m a bit confused about which browsers and OSes are actually...

Its funny. One of the best hackers in the world and people are still in denial about the security of IE8 on Win7…lol

For a relatively secure browser at the moment, one might want to look at dillo 1. It is incapable of running active content (no flash, no Java, no ActiveX, no JavaScript). This means the attack surface...

The fact is, even THE most secure system in the universe CAN be hacked if someone is determined enough and has the time. There is no such thing as unhackable, period. Linux is simply much much much...

I would NEVER recommend IE to anybody, and I don’t trust it myself. I use Firefox on Linux, which is a proven stable and secure platform.

Sorry to come in late on this — but there’s one big thing missing: Every copy of IE8 I’ve seen in the field is filled with TOOLBARS! Sometimes SIX OR MORE! All the users I talked to dutifully carried...
