Google Releases Web Security Book

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the posted-from-my-own-chair dept.

northern squirrel writes "As reported by Security Focus, Google had publicly released their 50-page Browser Security Handbook (under a CC BY license, too). To quote, the document is 'meant to provide developers, browser engineers, and information security researchers with a one-stop reference to key security properties of contemporary web browsers,' and features a comparison of security features in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and — you guessed it — Chrome. Is it a belated Christmas gift to web developers, or just a reaction to recent bad publicity?"

    But C/C++ is changing. Memory randomization makes many attacks impractical, for example. So you get something as safe as Java but faster.
