Possibly off topic, possibly related, but can anyone explain to me how Google's Native Client (NaCl) is different from ActiveX and Flash? Sounds like a security exploit waiting to happen.
- simonw 15y agoThe whole point of NaCl is that it provides a safe sandbox for running verified native code - the Wikipedia article has more on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Native_Client http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Native_Client Google ran a security contest to find problems with it, which turned up a few. I'm not sure what the status is at the moment with regards to security: http://code.google.com/contests/nativeclient-security/faq.html http://code.google.com/contests/nativeclient-security/faq.ht...
