RE: FWD: Internet Explorer URL parsing vulnerabilityumm tested this you dont need %01 either btw.

www.microsoft.com () www linux org

was messing around with some hex stile as well is there a way to call a file:// inside a http:// becos the issue with 
doing the @ trick is it appends http:// automaticly, mind you , u could just make it exec some vb code or something on 
a site, just a random idea any way

and it dont also seem to work if you use hex as well for the full domain ie

www.microsoft.com%40%77%77%77%2E%6C%69%6E%75%78%2E%6F%72%67

nor  www.microsoft.com%40www.linux.org

where as if you www.microsoft.com@%77%77%77%2E%6C%69%6E%75%78%2E%6F%72%67 works

  Hmm, it doesn't seem to work on my browser :) 
  I don't even get transported to any page when i click the button. 
  But then again, i have everything turned off in the internet zone by default... 
  (but my submit non-encrypted form data is on) 

  Does it really work then?  it looks like it's using javascript...? (location.href) 
  Merry Christmas everyone :)

    LOL. This is so simple and dangerous, it almost made 
    me laugh and cry at the same time. Most of you will 
    realise why...;D 
    The Paypal, AOL, Visa, Mastercard, et al email 
    scammers will have a harvest of gold this month with 
    lots of zombies falling for this simple technique.

    Dont be surprised if your latest download from 
    http://www.microsoft.com turns out to be a trojan!
