Perhaps you did not know that the User-Agent field in the HTTP request header reveals what browser is being used of course with IE depending on your version it will be something like Mozilla 4.0 but you can find all that out with a nice winsock or web browser tracer like TracePlus Winsock or TracePlus Web. Check out http://www.sstinc.com for more on that. But anyway we are crackers not hackers right? So we can change the User-Agent to whatever we like. Well why not do it. I wont go into details on how to do it but it is not that hard to find and change. Well my friends. Am I the first idiot to figure this out?

hiya _Snatch,

yeah you may be 1st, but I'm claiming 2nd, ^_^

Ah, c'mon, did you ever read the archive of fravia's old pages ? (you're almost sittin'on't !) Or searchlores ?

Ever heard about atguard ? Proxo ? If not I should think it was high time to do so. Btw, Opera allows you to chose what is sent in the user-agent field. (Nah, not _this_ discussion again. For all means, go on using IE if you like - but you should at least know its flaws and prepare your countermeasures).

I'm not completely sure where to d/l the proggies from right now. For @guard you might try fosi. Proxo might be on searchlores, but then it might not. It's not that hard to find, I should think.

words are only words, Snatch
code is code
please confute A+heist's essay at fravia (not the tone: the meaning and the content!)

Only when -and if- you will have done it I'll be disponible to read your trolls again if you do not, please abstain fom posting here.

Where is the entire list of required reading before anyone dares to post on YOUR forum.

lol thats a good one...its a little arbitrary as to what you need to read basically if anyone is l33t and above you then any essay they randomly decide to read you better figure out by ESP means which one it is and read it or else well you have not completed the required reading.

You really still using MSIE after having read it?

ya of course i am i already knew about the security issues and have written a program to delete all the cookies cache history and persistance data including the index.dat files for security reasons. its not the end of the world if you know whats going on and how to get around it. Microsoft is making a lot of the standards and will probably implement them better especially with XML and SOAP.
