Firefox hardly uses sandboxing at all, Accuvant said.
Dec 11 Accuvant crowns Chrome most secure browser over Firefox and IE.
Position in market share last week, buttoday it was named the most secure of the top three browsers by security firm Accuvant.
It turns out that the Accuvant Labs study was commissioned by Google.
Accuvant only analyzed these three test subjects because of their browser share; citing W3Schools.
Internet Explorer, by contrast, has processes that allow compromisedtabs some ability to infect other tabs, Accuvant says.
Com, Accuvant said these three browsers represent 93.4 percent of the market.
The URL blacklisting services offered by all three browsers will stopfewer attacks than will go undetected,” Accuvant states.
Accuvant focused only on Chrome, IE and Firefox, leaving out Safari and others for the sake of time.
Zach Lanier is a Senior Research Scientist with Accuvant Labs, specializing in various bits of network, mobile, and application security.
Accuvant also made the supporting data available as a separate download so that it can be scrutinized by other researchers.
Since no authoritative source exists, it is likely that each organization gathering datais getting one part of the overall picture,” Accuvant wrote.
Rather, Accuvant presumed that a browser vulnerability is going to be exploited in some fashion by a third-party.
Chrome's first, IE's second,and Firefox is dragging along in third, with Accuvant rating four of the seven security features tested in Firefox either“unimplemented” or“ineffective.”.
Accuvant emphasized anti-exploitation techniques- for which Chrome is known after surviving several Pwn2Own hacking competitions- embedded in each browser.
The 102-page report, prepared by researchers from security firm Accuvant, started with the premise that buffer overflow bugs and other security vulnerabilities were inevitable in any complex piece of software.
Accuvant LABS' analysis is based on the premise that all software of sufficient complexity and an evolving code base will always have vulnerabilities,” it wrote.
In the event of a crash, the tab[in Internet Explorer] is automatically reloaded the first time, allowing malicious content multiple attempts to succeed,or have an unsuccessful exploit attempt go unnoticed,” Accuvant claims.
Well, a study by Accuvant Labs rated Google Chrome first, with Microsoft Internet Explorer second and Firefox pulling up third.
The security testing, therefore, focused on the strength of a browser's anti-exploitation measures after-the-fact“the software with the best anti-exploitation technologies is likely to be the most resistant to attack andis the most crucial consideration in browser security,” Accuvant wrote.
Accuvant insists that Google gave it“a clear directive to provide readers with an objective understanding of relative browser security” and that the conclusions in the paper“are those of Accuvant Labs, based on our independent data collection.”.
But the 102-page report otherwise seems fairly thorough, and Accuvant says it will update the report as the security of each browser evolves, and claims that it already provides a better look at browser security than metrics such as vulnerability report counts and URL blacklists.
Accuvant noted that Chrome, along with the other two browsers in the test, failed to adequately offer up strong enough URL blacklisting to pass Accuvant's examinations a daily comparison of roughly 6,000 malware-related URLs against either Microsoft's URL Reporting Service or Google's Safe Browsing List.
