Re: An IE Browser is EVEN exploitible on DSL Repor

I'm VERY busy this weekend, and as I noted in the thread, I've not used Javascript for much other than form validation and simply redirection of the browser... but when I get time, I'll work on a 'proof of concept' post in the forum you linked, NIL.

And btw, thank you for taking time out for this.. I, too, am very interested in the outcome since I run my own custom forum system myself; I thought I had taken care of a lot of malicious possible uses before... but we'll see

Perhaps someone will get to a 'proof of concept' before I do.. we'll just see.

I would love to see both parties that debute over this some more.

One person says it's exploitible the other says it's not.

My problem is I can't argue with anyone I don't program Java Script.

A couple of people tend to think it's still open for debate.

I do miss your insite. After all it's my understanding that your head of this sites web design or have a lot of say on it's design and or performance.

Like I said before I try to lock down my system as much as possible. Having an exploit install something is rare but I don't want to deal with to much paranoid issues that could cause brain damage.

Most of the exploits IE has are because it's so inter twind with the OS. I bet there are still many hacks not found in the wild in IE.
