Security is now a strong differentiator in picking the right browser - a single compromise through a web browser can have catastrophic results. Much of recent browser security development has been focused on improving sandboxing, but we can't lose sight of how damaging remote code execution (RCE) exploits can be, even when they remain contained to a single process. This talk will interactively walk through the discovery of RCE bugs in Google's Chrome browser, the exploitation of one of them, and finally, the capabilities a savvy attacker can attain from that, culminating in a live pwning demo.
