Browser Security Handbook from Google

Google has released a Browser Security Handbook intending to provide additional help to web application developers, browser engineers, and security researchers. This hand book gives a one-stop reference to key security properties of contemporary web browsers. According to this book “Insufficient understanding of these often poorly-documented characteristics is a major contributing factor to the prevalence of several classes of security vulnerabilities”.

The Handbook covers all major browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, Google Chrome and Android embedded browser. The content of Browser Security Handbook divided into three main parts, such as ‘Basic concepts behind web browsers, Standard browser security features, and Experimental and legacy security mechanisms’. You can read or download the book from http://code.google.com/p/browsersec/wiki/Main. [via]

    I'm glad that more people will start getting informed about Internet Security. It's true that a large percentage of internet fraud and hacking attempts would be averted if users were simply more informed.

There are several free proxy solutions available for downloading (we had covered few of them in the previous posts), but from my personal experience most of them are very slow in my country.If you are looking for a free, fast and reliable proxy solution for anonymous surfing, Here is a new multi-platform application, PaperBus (ad-supported) which lets you surf anonymously and bypass internet filters.Paper bus (brought you by Open Terrace Ltd the same company that made commercial proxy service Freedur) is very easy to use. Simply install, and run. No registration required. The only down side is there will be an ad web browser tab popping up in every twenty minutes while you are using it.Another interesting feature of PaperBus is that you can create a list of websites you don't want to surf through PaperBus.PaperBus is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux systems. Download appropriate version from here. (via)
