Corey Benninger: Finding Gold in the Browser Cache - a podcast by Jeff Moss

"Looking for instant gratification from the latest client side attack? Your search may be over when you see the data that can be harvested from popular web browser caches. This discussion will focus on what web application programmers are NOT doing to prevent data like credit card and social security numbers from being cached. It will explore what popular websites are not disabling these features and what tools an attacker can use to gather this information from a compromised machine. A general overview of web browser caching will be included and countermeasures from both the client and server side.

Corey Benninger, CISSP, is a Security Consultant with Foundstone, a division of McAfee, where he commonly performs web application assessments for leading financial institutions and Fortune 500 companies.
