Mafia$oft Internet Exploiter is the only mainstream web browser without WebGL support. The monopolistic entity wrote a FUD-filled diatribe about WebGL is supposedly insecure. Remember this is from the same company who brought us Internet "Bonzi Buddy" Exploiter. You know, that browser which is the malware author's wet dream.
They are talking shit not because they know anything about security or care about security in any case. They rather have their proprietary DefectX/Silverscum software instead of the industry developed, open standard based WebGL and OpenGL ES. Of course they hate open standards because their whole business model is to lock people into their proprietary garbage.
Well, it won't work, you fucking evil Nazi scumbags. You will not fuck over the computer industry and progress anymore.

ReplyDeleteQuoted for truth. Any piece of proprietary format must be expelled from the web.
Flash managed to sneak in during more innocent times, and now it's an uphill battle to get rid of it, but we really don't need Silverlight/ActiveX.
Talking of Flash... nice Flash aquarium widget, Adam.
ReplyDeleteHah, imagine his reaction when he realises the fish are proprietary. The poor child will start stabbing his computer screen in frustration, it may sound like this: "NO PROPRIETARY, THE FISH ARE EVIL NAZI SCUMBAGS!"
ReplyDeleteAdam you tool, where have you run off to?
ReplyDeleteFlash is an open specification.

While posting specs, please remember Adobe is an evil corporation.
ReplyDelete"[...] but we really don't need Silverlight/ActiveX."
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft themselves do not seek to deploy Silverlight as HTML5 replacement. Yet, for Intranet software and some multimedia streaming (as Flash replacement, where HTML5 isn't suitable) it's absolutely fine.

If you had bothered to even click the references in the SRD article in question ( http://blogs.technet.com/b/srd/archive/2011/06/16/webgl-considered-harmful.aspx ) you would have seen that WebGL *does* have issues... Do tell me how is this ( http://www.contextis.com/resources/blog/webgl2/images/image1.jpg ) exactly possible? (aaah cause it's mac doh... wait the article also refers to Linux tests where it was pwned.. shiii).
Also if WebGL is so perfect, why is the Khronos Group developing ARB_robustness and ARB_robustness2 OpenGL extensions (still ongoing) to prevent some parts of such exploitation (partially the DoS attacks, that is) ? Dunno but without these 2 extensions you must be secure because it's an open standard or whut? Khronos was just bored and started that or how do I see it? (notice: no graphics driver supports GL_ARB_robustness under Linux [NV supports it on OSX and Windows], GL_ARB_robustness2 is still in development)
The SRD blog did nothing but point out general theoretical issues, either. Or do you deny that kernel mode code which never touched the web might simply not be hardened against attacks from this angle? Oh wait, doesn't matter on Linux, as it isn't developed using something like the SDL.
Not FUD but fact, Adam, sorry.
ChristX,
ReplyDeleteSilverscum suffers from the same issues. Here is a Silverscum proof of concept exploit from Mozilla:

Why did Mafia$oft conveniently ignore the security issues in Silverscum's 3D support?
Wait sliver of light has 3d?
