Why You Should Dump Internet Explorer
06/16/2004 02:08 AMWritten by Daniel Miessler for LockergnomeThe time has come to dump
Internet Explorer. I know, I know — you may have heard the same
thing before from those that think it’s cool to hate Microsoft;
but I’m not one of those guys. I’m actually an MCSE and I
happen to like quite a few of Microsoft’s products. Rather than
lump me into the Microsoft-basher category, consider for a moment why
you use the browser you use, and humor me by entertaining the notion
— if even for a second — that switching to another might
be worth your while.My argument is simple: the benefits of using IE
are too few - and the faults too great — to put off the adoption
of an alternative any longer.SecuritySince information security is my
hobby/job/obsession, this particular topic is near and dear to my
heart. Just about everyone reading this has seen computers that have
been beaten down with spyware - the evil junk that hijacks IE and
renders a system virtually useless. How many times have you been
called to a family member’s house to clean up their system? Or
had to call your techie friend to come clean yours? It’s often
quite awkward - the system slows to a crawl and every other mouse
click conjures up some species of perverse, obscene image. What most
people don’t realize, however, is that there is a very simple
and powerful way to defend your system (and/or the systems of your
loved ones) in one fell swoop.Don’t use Internet Explorer.What
makes other browsers better than IE at protecting vs. spyware and
other attacks? Well, it’s simple really - most other browsers
don’t make it so easy to install malicious software on your
system without you knowing about it. IE makes it relatively trivial
through two features called ActiveX and Active Scripting. These
technologies were designed specifically for the purpose of giving
websites more control over a user’s computer. Unfortunately, as
we have seen with exploit after exploit - that’s not always a
good thing.In addition to the spyware issues, IE in general has had a
terrible track record when it comes to all types of serious security
issues. For years now, it’s seemed like every time you turn
around there is a new way to have your computer taken over via
Internet Explorer. Put “internet explorer” and
“allow an attacker to execute commands” (with the quotes)
into Google and you’ll see what I mean.In IE’s defense,
many anti-Microsoft types will claim that it’s not possible to
lock down IE at all. This is not true. It is possible — but if
and only if you have a fair amount of technical know-how on the
subject, and the time to do it. My personal view, however, is that
tools such as Internet browsers should not require expertise and
configuration time to be able to use them safely.StandardsThis is
likely to get me in some hot water with my fellow security
enthusiasts, but I find this issue to be of even more concern than
that of IE’s security. The Internet works for one simple reason
- everything at its core has been built on agreements that bind it
together. Whether a computer is connected from California or Sri
Lanka, it’s going to speak the same language and obey the same
rules - the rules defined by standards. If this weren’t the case
there would be no Internet at all. These agreements are forged by a
body of people whose goal is nothing short of designing a better and
more efficient Internet for everyone. Microsoft, for some odd reason,
seems bent on breaking stride with these agreed-upon standards. Case
in point: the next time you’re in a bookstore, head over to the
technology section and pick up a book on XHTML or CSS. These are two
major web standards that deal with how web pages are displayed to
users, and within any book on the subjects you will find one common
theme:The absolute worst browser when it comes to supporting the
standards is Internet Explorer.Page after page in these books will
reveal features supported in other browsers, but not in IE. Ask
yourself why a company would choose not to support standards that
benefit everyone? The way I see it, it’s for precisely one of
two reasons — either they are unable to, or they don’t
want to. Given the fact that they are a multi-billion dollar company
(one of the richest on the planet), I can’t help but lean toward
the second option. Without going into too much detail (See Longhorn),
they have their own plans, and those plans involve implementing their
own standard and forcing it upon the world. Call me a geek/hippie, but
the idea of a multi-billion dollar corporation snubbing its nose at
agreed-upon standards is nothing short of infuriating.OptionsLucky for
us, we have alternatives. The good news is that the alternative
browsers are actually as good or better than IE. There are many out
there, but in my opinion the Mozilla products are the best. I
personally prefer and recommend Mozilla Firefox. Not only does it keep
your browsing sessions a lot more secure and spyware-free, but it also
supports the standards religiously and has some a wide range of
powerful features. Arguably the biggest benefit to using a
Mozilla-based product is something called tabbed browsing. What this
allows you to do is have multiple pages open within a single browser
window. Rather than going from window to window in the taskbar, you
can simply switch between clearly visible tabs, all within the same
view. You can even do this and many other commands via the keyboard if
you are into that sort of thing.Using Firefox will not require any
major shift in your daily browsing habits. It’ll import your
favorites automatically, and you can benefit from the improved
security starting the first time you open it. With the popup blocking
enabled, you can breath quite a bit easier when browsing to unknown
sites. Attempts to install garbage on your system that could have
easily succeeded if you were using IE will simply be ignored by
Firefox. Plus, the whole time you’re browsing you’ll know
that you are doing your part to keep the soul of the Internet alive by
choosing to use a browser whose developers actually care about
standards.Of course, I still use IE. (pause for effect)
…it’s how I get my Windows security updates. :
Seriously though - Windows Update is a must, and it only works in IE,
so that in itself is a good reason to fire up IE once in a while.
Aside from Windows Update though, there is still the occasional site
that I go to that doesn’t look right in any other browser. Those
sites, by the way, are all the more reason to not use IE. They
weren’t written according to the standards, and they look bad in
any browser other than IE as a result of that fact. Using IE all the
time just because the occasional site is designed so poorly as to look
like crap in other browsers is utterly bad form. I implore you not to
give into this temptation.Wrapping It UpSo, in closing, I leave you
with two thoughts:
Due to the combination of ActiveX, scripting, and its integration with
the Windows operating system, Internet Explorer is more vulnerable to
attack than many other browsers.
The designers of Internet Explorer have purposely turned their back on
the standards designed to benefit the Internet as a whole. They have
done this for years, continue to do it today, and appear to have
nothing but their own interests at heart.
I ask that you consider these points and pull down a copy of Firefox,
Opera, or another alternative browser. Run it for a week and see how
it feels. As mentioned above, I personally recommend Firefox due to
its excellent development team and large user base. Once you have had
some time to get to know your new onramp to the web, I think
you’ll find that you’ll wish you had switched sooner. No
longer will you have to worry about garbage clogging up your system
because of your browser, or having to make a mad rush for a patch
every time an IE vulnerability is released.Finally, and most
importantly - spread the word. It’s time now for us to put
alternative browsers on the map and let it be known that we are aware
of our choices. We need not settle for what we are being fed when
there are better, more secure alternatives out there.If you have any
questions, feel my position is flawed, or would just like to give some
feedback, I can be reached at daniel@dmiessler.com.
I am about to dump GoDaddy as a host!
I am about to dump GoDaddy as a host!
04/11/2005 05:35 PMI am about as pissed off as one can get at this moment. You know I
upgraded and moved the hosting for this domain from a shared host to a
virtual dedicated box on GoDaddy.
This was primarily because of the terrible support I was having
over at infinology. I barely needed a virtual dedicated box, but
liked the flexibility that a configurable server would give me. I have
off-loaded nearly all of my podcast audio content to a third party
hosting service and only host the low traffic wma and ogg files on
this site.
So what am I all pissed about. This server has been crashing nearly
every night and I am about sick of it. My admin has done everything he
can do and yet it seems to crash about the same time every day. So I
figured it had to be something GoDaddy was doing. I sent off a message
to tech support and check out the reply I got.
----------- Quote -----------------
This is in response to your customer service inquiry regarding
geeknewscentral.com.
Your original inquiry was:
Server Keeps Crashing
We have researched the issues you raised in your inquiry and have
determined the following: This site is getting alot of hits. You may
wish to consider a dedicated server. Short of that, you may want to
try optimizing Apache, but that is only going to accomplish so much in
a virtual environment. If traffic to this site keeps trending upward,
then you will have little choice but to move to a dedicated box, in
the not too distant future. You may want to start planning for that
now.
---------- Left Name of the Tech off the Reply ---------
Sounds to me like instead of wanting to do something they are just
telling me I need to upgrade and pay more money. The only reason we
left the other shared hosting provider was because the customer
service was bad. I had plenty of spare bandwidth on the old host. The
shared host which I used to be on had nearly 1000 domains being
hosted on a single box it never missed a beat and was able to handle
the load that was put on it.
So I move a single domain plus some minor traffic domains to a
virtual dedicated server and it cannot handle the load of a single
site. Give me a break. You would think that on a shared server I would
have had more issues if what this tech says is true I should have been
killing the other 999 domains that were on that box. Give me a break
this is a excuse.
I have a substantial bandwidth allotment on this server and thus
far have not used anywhere near all of it in a given month. Plus I
think they are reporting bandwidth from the log files and not from the
switch so I think I am being cheated on my actual bandwidth usage.
Inquiries on how they measure bandwidth has went un answered.
So are these really techs answering my trouble tickets or are they
actually sales people.
The management at GoDaddy has been great when I have talked to
someone in charge the have bent over backwards. But their is a obvious
disconnect still going on over their.
If I am over using the service explain why and then tell me why a
shared server could handle the load just fine even with audio files
being served from it. Considering the daily traffic this site is
getting they box I am on should be more than enough.
I could put this site on one of GoDaddys shared host offload the
wma and ogg files to a secondary service and would probably not have
any issues but I guess the traffic that is coming to their site would
cause them to tell me to upgrade to a VDS. Personally I am sick of it
and will probably start shopping for a new provider again. How come
these companies cannot live up to their part of the bargain.
If they don't want people using the bandwidth they offer with the
package then they should change the package and explain in detail what
they allow on the box. I hate excuses and I hate companies that
oversell a product.
