June Will Be Month of Search Engine Bugs
De Garmo writes "A Ukranian hacker known as "MustLive" has announced plans for a Month of Search Engine Bugs project in June 2007. The plan is to shake out cross-site scripting bugs in the most popular search engines (think Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask.com) and publish details on these flaws. From the article: "[The] purpose of this Month of Bugs is a demonstration of real state with security in search engines, which are the most popular sites in Internet. To let users of search engines and web community as a whole to understand all risks, which search engines bring to them. And also to draw attention of search engines' owners to security issues of their sites.""
Here's a few to get off the ground with: http://sla.ckers.org/forum/read.php?3,44,page=47
I'd say the response is exactly the same as with "(", meaning the special sequence is not special after all and that google simply ignores all-symbol searches. Or something.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
can we have a month of free, good porn? i spend all day looking at bugs, i could do with something else for a change...
Aww, shut the fuck up! Give the man a break. I'd be glad to read his broken English if he has something interesting to say, and it seems like he does. Just because he's not a native English speaker doesn't mean that you can't understand what he's trying to say. I'm not a native English speaker myself, but I do my best, and I'm pretty sure he did too.

Here is something that should be more of interest.
o gle+Search&meta=
Search for ".com" in google.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=.com&btnG=Go
The first site found is microsoft, the second site found is yahoo. Now if i understand the pagerank system correctly, and i find this reasonably hard to believe, this means that more people link to yahoo and microsoft than google itself? Further down the page you find amazon, and even ask.com
On the other hand, i think this is reasonable proof that google isnt doctoring it's search results to lower the page rank of its main rivals. Or in Google's eyes...is this a bug?
Try this link. Google without any ads ? Ok we could configure our machines to bloack ads but I use different machines a lot, if that "backdoor" link becomes popular Google would be in trouble ! I picked up on this "bug" from here.
Yes strictly it isn't a bug in the sense that it harms the user but it is the same as a bug that allows you use a program for free.
Brain surgery? What a comparison!
You'll have an extremely hard time convincing us Europeans to follow your rule. Lots of people here know several languages and use them all frequently, without knowing them well enough to speak flawlessly. We use foreign languages both for business and for fun. You'll have a very hard time convincing us to stop doing this.
In my opinion it would be a very boring world if people followed your rule. For example, I couldn't write this post. English isn't my first language, it's not even my second, so who knows what errors might sneak in without my noticing!?
Maybe I'd better shut up now, in case I'm subjecting you to painful language errors without noticing.
Terrorists can't threaten a country's freedom and democracy. Only lawmakers and voters can do that.
Shouldn't June be the month or "June Bugs" ... damn things used to scare the hell out of me as a kid. And I don't even want to talk about Potato Bugs
Its not the years, its the mileage
