If you haven’t already seen, Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 is out – go get it!

Now is a good time to thank everyone who helped make the IE8 XSS Filter a reality. This project wouldn’t have been possible without your hard work, support, leadership, guidance, brainstorming, pentesting, coding, and testing.

THANK YOU:
