NoScript Web Security Tool Now Available For Android, Maemo


NoScript is a security tool that can be used to block the execution of JavaScript, Java, Flash and plugins by websites that are viewed as being potentially malicious. Many Web-based attacks on computers are initiated by JavaScript.


NoScript's developer, Giorgio Maone, wrote on his blog on Saturday that porting the application for Firefox on Android and Maemo was not easy, as it was a full rewrite of the extension, and "there's still a lot of work ahead."


The mobile version, called NoScript 3.0a8 , includes protection against cross-site scripting attacks, in which a script drawn from another website is allowed to run that shouldn't. Cross-site scripting can allow an attacker to steal information or potentially cause other malicious code to run.


It also can block " clickjacking" another kind of attack where a user is tricked into clicking on certain parts of a Web page with hidden buttons that perform malicious actions. Those hidden buttons are delivered by an invisible iframe, which is a window that brings other content into the target website.
