Hacker promises month of browser holes
The creator of a widely used hacking tool has promised to publish details of one browser security hole per day during July.
HD Moore, the hacker behind the Metasploit toolkit, started his Month of Browser Bugs on 1 July by publishing software that demonstrates bugs in a variety of Web browsers.
Moore said he decided to do the month of bugs in order to show the kinds of results he's generated using a variety of automated security testing tools known as "fuzzers."
"This information is being published to create awareness about the types of bugs that plague modern browsers and to demonstrate the techniques I used to discover them," Moore said in a blog post. The code does not include details that would allow attackers to run unauthorised code on a victim's machine, Moore said.
