Hacking Browsers: The Easy Way

When you think of hacking browsers, you perhaps think of V8 heap exploitation, deep-dive fuzzing, crazy sandbox escapes, and so on. But what if I told you that you can still find vulnerabilities in major browsers that don’t require any technical knowledge? Bugs you can even run into by accident! In this talk, I’ll take you through my journey of how I “accidentally“ found a vulnerability in Google Chrome. And how that led me to find more vulnerabilities in Chrome as well as some vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox and many more bugs in other products. So if you’re keen to find out how I could, with minimal user-interaction, steal your private GitHub repositories, then this talk is for you!
