RE: XSS Testing

Hi PenTest Guy,

This questions has been asked before on this list, so rather than go into
details, let's just point back to an old post...

http://seclists.org/lists/webappsec/2002/Oct-Dec/0247.html

There's various "ultimate string collections" and articles linked from this
thread - I hope that it satisfies your question.

Cheers,
Mike.
