Hey Jim,

Also, I'd reconsider allowing access to sites that are poorly coded. Its
sort of the tip of the iceburg and who knows what else is going on under
the hood.

Sorry Rob,

Work got the better of me yesterday.
I have a sorta-list that I and another guy assemble to "educate" one
customer.
I'll dig up the mails and summarize it today.

Alternatively, you can edit that filter to trigger on <Xcript instead...
..unfortunately, that's only one of literally dozens of "tag attacks".

Hey Jim--
 
Any chance you've had a mo to find these RFCs? I've been looking for
them myself with no luck. If you could even just point me to the right
place, that would be great.
 
Thanks,
Rob

I literally hate these jerks that think adding XML or HTTP tags to a
query is valid web site programming!

The fact is, this is the most basic form of script injection.

 

I have some RFC's that give valid URL syntax - I'll fwd them later...

Hi all-- 

Sometime back I used Jim Harrison's VBS script to block script
injections (the StartOfTag (<) and EndOfTag (>) things). I've run into a
couple of legitimate websites that are now blocked by our firewall. Are
there legitimate reasons an HTML programmer would use these tags? I'd
like to at least sound educated when I contact the website folks to tell
them why I'm blocking them.

Thanks, 
Rob
