Script tags in the user agent string

   

Now this is a "nice" idea:

65.182.100.126 - - [29/Aug/2005:01:46:31 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 18122 "-"
"(script)window.open('http://www.medchecker.com/buy2/side-search.htm')(/script)"

A script tag in the user agent string. Obviously in the hope that it would be interpreted when someone was viewing the site's statistics.

Let's see. medcheck.com is registered by this individual:

   Dave Brown
   PO Box 5318
   (a href=http://www.13kg.com)THIS DATA IS PRIVATE!
   Oswego, NY 13126
   US

The whois for 13kg.com has the same sort of nonsense (and the same address):

   Gigahertz, inc.
   PO Box 5318
   (a href=http://www.whak.com)THIS DATA IS PRIVATE!
   Oswego, NY 13126
   US

Same for whak.com, and all three give Artificially.Intelligent@GMail.com as Dave's email address.

What else? All three domains are registered with Namesdirect, Inc. medchecker.com itself is hosted at 65.182.102.22 (Brinkster), the other two are on 24.58.106.179 (RoadRunner). And the IP the actual request came from, 65.182.100.126, also belongs to Brinkster.

Problem with this one is I bet it works on some sites. Who would think to block HTML code in referrer lists.

Hi Joe and thanks to who posted this!!

Any one know who I can report this to?

It would be especially nice if you could escape it the example. It's currently executing when people visit your page here.

Whoops, it shouldn't do that. Something went wrong there with a recent site upgrade. Sorry about that.

I've put the tags in braces for now until I've figured out what happened. Thanks for point it out.
