re: Why Didn't You Exploit IE?

I think that point was made in the article I posted. Maybe not in those terms (there are certainly a variety of surveys and such with different results about which browser has the most holes), but Miller did say that both Firefox and Chrome are more secure than IE.

The '300%' figure is entirely arbitrary without the underlying methodology and data the figure was derived from, but the 300% is also irrelevant to this post. The point of the post is not that IE is the most secure browser. The point of the post is that ANY browser on Windows is more secure than a browser on Mac OS X because Mac OS X does not have any security mitigation to compare with DEP, ASLR, etc. in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

IE is easy to exploit as compare to other browsers

According to an independent research IE is much easier to exploit as compare to other browsers. IE is 300 % more vulnerable to threats as compare to firefox. The new version of IE will be more secure and give extra security protection.
