Absolutely spot-on Dan, My original posting was merely a link to an area of a page where someone made a mistake, it's not a threat to US National Security in any big way, the NSA don't give a damn about it. It's just a mistake made by a developer on their public website, there are worse mistakes on that site too, for anyone bored enough to go look. The only people that care enough are defacers looking for a bit of fame. No one with a life spends time trawling the NSA's website for trivial errors, if you want to hack the NSA and you think their webserver is a good place to start, you just might be out of your depth a little. It wasn't supposed to spark a debate about what the NSA know, don't know, would like to know, invented, stole or dreamed about. Although that was probably my error, bringing it up in the first place, I should have known there would be a tinfoil responses I was in Nelson from the Simpsons mode and felt like I had to say "HA-HA!" in public. Anyone that thinks it's a honeypot is a nutter, if it was a honeypot as Dan says its a very badly thought out one. Just relax and feel safe in the knowledge that governments employ people that make mistakes (there's a startling revelation!! :-P), point it out to your next client so that it helps you get a contract or something. Just don't come on FD and scream conspiracy though, because I've heard them all and I'm the ringleader of most of them :-P. BTW, I sell enhanced tinfoil very cheap, we all know that with simple XSS regular tin foil is rendered useless! Buy your enhanced tin foil now, it has built-in XSS protection!
