Secunia Reports on IE and FireFox...

sudhakar[mvp] — Thu, 30 Jun 2005 07:10:00 GMT

I was just browsing through some security bulletins today and found some interesting facts from Secunia, a Security Advisory firm. According to secunia, the following are the security issue stacks for IE and FireFox..

The "Month by Month" graph below shows the number of issued Secunia advisories affecting Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x on a month-by-month basis.

The "Month by Month" graph below shows the number of issued Secunia advisories affecting Mozilla Firefox 1.x on a month-by-month basis.

I think, very soon FireFox will become a FireFix Browser ;-)

What is Fiddler?

sudhakar[mvp] — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 13:59:00 GMT

Found this cool tool from IE Team blog...

"Fiddler is a HTTP Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP Traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler is designed to be much simpler than using NetMon or Achilles, and includes a simple but powerful JScript.NET event-based scripting subsystem."

Good one to have for all web site performance tuning guys.
