The Browser Security Test is an online automated check for multiple security vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, and Opera browsers. Currently it tests for 37 vulnerabilities. We have started the Browser Security Test in the beginning of 2003 an have been diligently collecting the statistics about the number of tests run, the vulnerabilities diagnosed and the browsers used. Now we decided to share it along with some observations on the browser vulnerabilities in general.
First of all we gladly notice that the Browser Security Test was steadily gaining popularity throughout 2004 as can be seen on the graph below. The big peak at the very end of the year is the result of the Browser Test being mentioned on Slashdot website.
