Uh, that has nothing to do with catching an exception. It's allowed by the CustomErrors setting in web.config.
Hardly worth noting.. in fact, I don't even know why I'm bothering to respond... I suppose it's just to point out that you're an idiot.
(I also replied to pretty vacant, but i wasn't a member of the list yet).
hi,
You seem very nice... But i think that if you would have been smart you wouldn't have said this.
Did you ever consider that someone might tried to be good and just missed the bat due lack of knowledge? That is not being an idiot, that might be someone that needs some guidance and then becomes a good or perhaps even a very good person who can help us (the hackers all over the world).
Just stating that someone is stupid included in this reply makes yourself a fool...

My friend blshkv showed me that he get hotmail.com to crash by just visiting the site! I used Paros Proxy to intercept the request and replayed it using telnet, with the same result.
The request looks like this:
GET http://www.hotmail.com/ HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 (X11; Linux i686; U) Opera 7.54 [en] Paros/3.2.0 Host: www.hotmail.com Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x- xbitmap, */*;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en;q=1.0,ru;q=0.9 Accept-Charset: windows-1251, utf-8, utf-16, iso-8859-1;q=0.6, *;q=0.1 Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache Proxy-Connection: close
and this is the response (been edited due to space):
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2005 09:59:35 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET X-AspNet-Version: 1.1.4322 Cache-Control: private Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 3026 Via: 1.1 Application and Content Networking System Software 5.1.13 Proxy-Connection: Close
Interesting, isn't it?
After futher investigation it seems like hotmail.com has a problem with russian language settings. See below for the diff between an 500 Internal Server Error and 200 OK request:
-Accept-Language: en;q=1.0,ru;q=0.9 +Accept-Language: en
I guess Hotmail.com's system administrators missed a few hardening steps, their developers forgot to have a default catch statement in their code and the QA people missed both of these issues in the UAT. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 2.4
