It was about six months ago when I first came across with SecBrowsing. SecBrowsing is a very useful tool, powered by Google App Engine, that helps you keep your browser and plugins up-to-date. It is written in Python and the people behind this project are three Googlers working for Google’s Security Team.

Just visit secbrowsing.appspot.com to run a browser plugin check. Afterwards SecBrowsing will automatically provide you with quick links/fixes for your browser plugins that are vulnerable. If you are using Google Chrome, there is an extension that periodically checks if your browser is running any out-of-date, vulnerable plugins (e.g., Java, Flash) and notifies you if you do.

SecBrowsing’s source code is available on Google Code. Also check out SecBrowsing’s blog for regular news on browser-related security issues.

You can follow SecBrowsing on Twitter here.
