It’s all about Internet Explorer 8 today at Mix09.
At a keynote (in a couple minutes), Dean Hachamovitch, the general manager of the Internet Explorer team at Microsoft, will formally unveil the browser; which can be downloaded here. You can learn more about IE8 features here.
Internet Explorer 8 security is already breached
A day earlier, a hacker attending the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver ran a successful exploit against IE8, defying Microsoft’s latest built in protection technologies- DEP (Data Execution Prevention) as well as ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization).
The exploit was done during the PWN2OWN hacking contest held at CanSecWest and sponsored by security company TippingPoint; which started the Zero Day Initiative “rewarding security researchers for responsibly disclosing vulnerabilities.”
Security is one of Microsoft’s major talking point for the IE8 release. Oh, well… next time
so…. do yo have any links to this exploit, and does it work in the RTW version?
Yes… it’s now on the post. Thanks! jb
It should be noted that although IE8 fell later, Apple’s Safari was the first to get hacked. It didn’t last two minutes.
what about security !!
By the way , LINUX is the best & FireFox is the winner !
i am a firefox user more than an internet explorer user but it seems that Internet explorer 8 is very stable and it its loading time for webpages is faster too.
I think the IE8 is better than IE7,it makes more easier
