I think that sentiment made sense 8-10 years ago, but today, it's increasingly difficult to defend. I mean, we are at a point where casual users can do without any "real" applications, beyond just having a browser. And in terms of complexity, the browser itself is approaching the kernel, and is growing more rapidly. Yes, web app vulnerabilities are easier to discover. That's partly because of horrible design decisions back in the 1990s, and partly because we're dealing with greater diversity, more complex interactions, and a much younger codebase. Plus, we had much less time to develop systemic defenses. /mz _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
