The browser-script attack concept is attributed to which researcher?

• A. Hoffman
• B. Miller
• C. Kaminsky, Dan
• D. Solar Designer

Answer: (C)

The idea behind a browser-script attack centers on how scripting within the browser can be abused to subvert security and expose data. This attribution is most commonly linked to Dan Kaminsky, who explored browser-based attack vectors and helped popularize the concept in early security discussions about how browser scripting can be exploited. The other names listed are known for different security contributions (for example, Solar Designer is associated with password cracking and Openwall), so they aren’t the figures typically credited with this browser-script attack concept.
