Browser Exploit Kits

Browser exploit kits are collections of malicious tools designed to probe web browsers (and their plugins) for known vulnerabilities. Delivered through compromised or malicious sites, these kits detect the user's browser details and deliver tailored exploits, often installing malware silently. From a client-side security standpoint, regularly updating browsers, disabling unnecessary plugins, and deploying browser sandboxing help defend against exploit kits. Because they automate scanning and exploitation, exploit kits continue to be a major threat in client-side environments.
