isnt browsing the web to sites with flash, java, asp, php, etc, allowing an untrusted user to run code on your machine?
Yes. Sometimes. No. No. Etc. ASP, PHP, and some Java applications are run on the server. They send your client HTML, javascript, css, etc. Now Java APPLETS are run on your computer -- if you allow them.
I think so given the rate at which exploits are released for all the above protocols, and especially considering the fact they will all go unpatched from now on. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but doesnt win9x have file shares? Does that require authentication?
Yes. It can.
