    Can anyone give me the low down on the (questionable) FireFox JavaScript vulnerabilities ?
    Many thanks in advance,

    they're very real, and in the interests of anti-disclosure, i'm not going
    to say more than that. if you would've been there, you would've known.

    i think you have me confused with someone else -- most likely my two

    i'm a bit unfamiliar with this 'FUD' term you keep throwing around. sounds
    like one of those awesome furry terms, or something.

    Firefox. However, I think this a good shock to the community. Just because
    something is open source and holds the number two slot for the browser
    marketshare, doesn't make it bulletproff. People have a bad habbit of
    assuming that because it's not Microsoft that it is super secure.

    that's such an awesome opinion to be so profoundly formulated and cast
    about like any real infosec warrior would!

    **** the proper disclosure procedures. that's how bugs get patched, and
    that's how halfwit infosec professionals retain unjustifiable jobs with
    unjustifiable pay.

    keep it 0day, as long as you can. secret blackhat handshakes, both IRL and

    All,

    At this point the accusations made at toorcon have no validity to them. They
    were made as "joke" by two individuals that seemed to have a need for
    publicity. This is not to say that Firefox is better or worse than IE. I'm
    sure that both have their fair share of vulnerabilities. But factually, no
    excessive amount of Java vulnerabilities have been validated in Mozilla
    Firefox. However, I think this a good shock to the community. Just because
    something is open source and holds the number two slot for the browser
    marketshare, doesn't make it bulletproff. People have a bad habbit of
    assuming that because it's not Microsoft that it is super secure.

    FUD= Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

    A marketing trick to scare people into buying your
    product/idea/service. Typically vague statements not based on any
    known form of reality.

    its not just a marketing trick to sell products but also a
    trick to sell false skill.

    it doesn't take much skill to be a security professional nowadays, or to
    find most vulnerabilities, or to disclose them, or even to patch them.

    the skill lies in avoiding detection while actively exploiting these
    vulnerabilities for fun and profit. if one can do so while
    actively maintaining the facade of a 'security professional' and holding
    down a serious paycheck, more power to him.

    You are only partially right there. But I'll give it to you.

    Agreed, but use your so called zero day against the wrong target and
    you will get caught. Unfortunately, the majority of so called
    professionals, wouldn't detect a 10 inch black cock in their ass let
    alone detect an unknown attack.

    real blackhats rarely get caught, and you're on point about the majority
    of security professionals -- you hear of them gallivanting about with
    combined yards of angry southern purple radiator hose all the time

    FUD = Fear Uncertainty Doubt.

    In other words you are no better than the FUD spreading security
    vendors that care more about their stockholders than they do actual
    security.

    Who let you off of IRC? Shouldn't you be chasing AEmpire around
    offering to suck his **** for meth?
