    W3 decided just to bring what-wg HTML5 into the fold, not give up on xhtml.

    bah slashcode ate my comment, I'll do it in BBCode seeing as that's usually the place to exploit it

    use the vbscript of your choice, I'd pop an XMLHttpRequest out, eval the returned javascript and off you go

    Not if you use an XSS vulnerability. I already know 1 popular site I could use.
    HINT: XSS filters sometimes don't check for just the javascript: version.

    I think https would sort most of this problem out. Cheap certs really are a must !

  10. Re:Anybody else notice its .php files that get ... on MSN Censors Your IM · · Score: 1

    Also the php files are in the document_root directory (or whatever you want to call it). Write access to document_root should be off but it usually isn't.

    Perl and other CGI stuff is usually script aliased out of document_root and run from there /www/public_html # document root /www/public_html/index.php # shitty PHP script /www/cgi-bin /www/cgi-bin/dirty_perl.pl # Long tooth Larry's stuff

    And pl files also need chmod +x ing whereas php files will just run.

    Those crazy "easy to set up" routes get you owned, but they always want to learn the hard way.

    That "only from people you know" is bollocks. Your bozo friends are likely to get infected and the result of the infection is sending you infected files.

    Security Alert
    Applications handling URL protocols must be robust in the face of malicious data. Because handler applications receive data from untrusted sources, the URL and other parameter values passed to the application may contain malicious data attempting to exploit the handling application. For this reason, handling applications that could initiate unwanted actions based on external data must first confirm those actions with the user.
    Note In addition, handling applications should robustly handle URLs that are overly long or contain unexpected (or undesirable) character sequences. For more information, please see Writing Secure Code World Wide Web link.
