1 edit | Root Cause and Is FireBird really any better? There is a general need in the IT profession for programmers and engineers to have greater management and analysis authority over development expenditures and schedules -- and for marketing types, stock promoters, and pure bureacrates to have less.
How many person-hours of research did it take to discover this vulnerability in IE?
How many person-hours of research have been put into finding security problems with FireBird, Opera and Netscape?
Until equivalent hours of research have been put into the effort, nobody can render a professional opinion on the quality of security in FireBird, Opera or Netscape as regards security exposures.
For now all anyone can really say is that, if a feature is left out it can't be exploited.
And that to the limited extent that "security by obsurity" works, using lesser known and lesser researched products takes advantage of it. | |

1 edit | They are working on it. In XP SP2 they have changed alot of the security options. And you really can't blame the makers of IE. As the most used browser, they continuely get bombarded with people trying to exploit the browser, which is not the fault of the makers of IE, they can only fix it as the problem arrises. SO if your interested, go on the web and search for SP2, huge file to download. | | |
