Pwn2Own: Hacker busts IE8 on Windows 7. Quote: Pwn2Own: Hacker busts IE8 on Windows 7 in 2 minutes. Dutch researcher bypasses DEP, ASLR to bring down Microsoft's browser. Two researchers yesterday won $10,000 each at the Pwn2Own hacking contest by bypassing important security measures of Windows 7. Both Peter Vreugdenhil of the Netherlands and a German researcher who only would give his first name of Nils, found ways to disable DEP (data execution prevention) and ASLR (address space layout randomization), two of Windows 7's most vaunted anti-exploit features. Each faced down the fully-patched 64-bit version of Windows 7 and came out the winner.

I agree, JMH. Although news, this is security related.

I'm just saying that if people searched the number of redundant threads will dramatically reduce.
@corrine: it is indeed security related but it also browser related. Should we add a thread on this to Browsers and Mail as well? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number tw33k OS Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) SP1 CPU Intel 3770k 4.7GHz Motherboard ASRock Fatal1ty z77 Professional Memory 8GB (2x 4GB) G-Skill 16000CL9D (2000MHz) Graphics Card Gigabyte HD 6950 (unlocked 910/1375) Sound Card On Board Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays 27" Acer B273HU (via HDMI) Screen Resolution 2048 x 1152 Keyboard Microsoft Wireless 5000 Mouse Microsoft Wireless 5000 PSU Corsair AX750 Gold Case Corsair Obsidian 800DW Cooling Phanteks PH-TC14PE 2x PH-F140 & UK 3000, 7x 120mm, 2x 140m Hard Drives Crucial C300 128GB
