How in the hell did you find that?



EDIT: okay, so now that I've learned that this is a trick in the URL, how do you do it? What's the structure?

you know that's a hell of a question. A friend sent it to me. But once when I was there, I couldn't navigate around the "Microsoft" site. Once the boys at microsoft find out about that they'll shut it down real quick.

I talked to one of my techs here, and he read an article about this not too long ago. The secret's in the @ symbol, and how you structure the url after that symbol. Supposedly it can be done by anyone that has space to post a website.

I'm hoping Island Son will pop up here soon, cause he's obviously got it figured out.

Hey daemon, that page is perfect.
Actually it works in both my netscape 4.71 and MSIE 5.5 servicepack 2 so I can't blame microsoft for this one. But it's a very very bad thing. Eliminating this by standardizing the URI sytax isn't even on the W3C's standards list, it seems to have died out with RFC1738 and 1808 a few years ago. Offhand I can think of some very bad spoofs.
Guess I'll have to be very careful what links I click on before entering ANY personal info.. especially emailed links.

This has been a topic on one of the major computer security mailing lists the last couple of days. Considering the amount of retards who open emails with "I love you" even after they've been told not to, a clever person could do quite a lot of damage.
