Windows 7+IE8/Chrome is the safest

The annual hacking competition Pwn2Own is about to begin. Charlie Miller, a leading security researcher for two consecutive winners, has recently accepted an interview and said that the combination of Windows 7 and IE8 or Chrome can bring the strongest security to computer users. Experience.

When the reporter asked Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard which are easier to crack, Miller said it was the latter. He said that Windows 7 has full ASLR (random address space allocation), and the most vulnerable Java and Flash are also not installed by default.

Miller also gives the operating system + browser combination he thinks is the safest and most difficult to break: Windows 7 and IE8 or Google Chrome, of course, provided that Flash is not installed. He said: "The difference in security between browsers is not particularly obvious. The biggest security factor is not to install Flash."

In the third Pwn2Own hacking competition in March last year, Charlie Miller took Safari 4 on his MacBook in just 10 seconds.
