Google 302 Exploit Knocks Sites Out

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-hurts-me dept.

clsc writes "The exploit: Redirect via 302 to another page of your choice, then watch as the URL of your redirect script replaces the URL of that carefully selected page in Google's search results. Once this happens, feel free to redirect any visitor that is not Googlebot to any other page of your choice. Also applies to other search engines as well (not Yahoo! though)."

    ...from time to time. It helps to balance out all of the humor impaired moderators like the one who modded me "Off Topic" above. Come on humpy... admit it... it WAS a funny post.
