Hi,

You missed the point of my post.

I have nothing against F-Secure reporting the bug, I only have
something against F-Secure supplying information on how to use an XSS
vulnerability properly in which to cause the most damage to the
Netscape web site.
F-Secure have not stated this in their posting to their weblog.


If you read my post and the F-Secure blog properly, you'll see they
reported that the vulnerability wasn't exploited fully, and F-Secure
promised to publish information to show attackers how to do the job
properly.
Incorrect. And I quote from
http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-072006.html#00000927

"We'll finish our draft with more on the potential dangers of XSS for
you soon."

This in no way states that they are going to release details of current
live XSS.

Thanks for your attempt to wind me up, you almost succeeded.

And if you take a look at:
http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-072006.html#00000930
They do exactly that... DISCUSS the risks/dangers, NOT the details.

You really should read peoples words more carefully before responding.

Cheers,
Dan.

PS. It's Thursday, nearly the weekend!
