New Take the Browser Secuity test
[link|http://212.100.234.54/content/4/29621.html|The Reg] has an interesting article on an outfit that will scan your favorite Browser for known vulnerabilities, and provide you with a report on what it finds. The outfit is called ScanIt, and the intro page to it's test is located [link|http://webtest.scanit.be/bcheck/index.php|here]

The Reg article has some interesting feedback on what it found with some of the browsers it had on hand. Of course, IE sucked (but you already knew that...). Me? I came up clean...but then, I'm using Mozilla...

(The only downside of the tests is that you have to allow pop-up or pop-under windows for the test to work, so you'll have to disable that feature in Moz for the test to work.)

New Confirmed
I think this must be related to Media Player. I had an attempted QuickTime subwindow but never directly saw Media Player - I can't believe it didn't try *something* with Media Player.

One funny thing - a lot of windows popped up pointing to things that got short-circuited by my hosts file - that was fun :)

New Big Fat Goose Egg. OS/2 & Mozilla 1.0.1. Thanks for playing!
New 2 javascript "minor" issues, none major
I have a adspam-blocking hosts file and deliberately loosened the script security slightly because I'm making an Intranet. I always leave Javascript enabled.

Neither problem could lead to compromise of my system.

IOW I'm totally safe.

I'm on Windows 98SE, IE6.0-128 SP 1.

I have a custom set of security patches. I use Windows Update, tailored to my requirements.
