Scary: Browser Hack lets other see what sites you visit

[bigfishfry32]

READ THE WHOLE THREAD TO LEARN HOW TO PREVENT THIS, BEFORE CLICKING ANY LINKS !

Ok, I found this pretty hard to believe at first, but apprently there is a Internet Browser hack that can allow others to see
your browser history. The hack relies on comparing link color (link color changes after you visit a site usually) against a list of known websites.

If the link color is different than the default, it means you have visited that site. You can read more about it here: http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com...ouve-been.html

Anyway, apparently there is a site that lets you use this hack to find out what porn sites your friends/visitors have been looking at. So if you feel like messing with someone, check this out:

A first post with 4 links is generally a good indication of a cunt, and one is left to wonder why that cunt thinks people would be moronic enough to click any of those links.

Are you a cunt at all.

OMG someone has posted something almost identical elsewhere. What's the chances of that.

He's also jackflash333 so I'm assuming that he is either getting something for posting links or he's phishing IPs.

Idol beat me to it
As a bonus, this indeed works and some torrent sites use it in their code, especially the gazelle ones, where it comes installed by default, you just have to add sites to the list.

To avoid this, use noscript to avoid the java attempt, and also change a firefox setting, as described here.

Famous cheater boards, for example Or T-I.

You're forgetting something... even if you disable JavaScript and HTTP referers, you can still get caught via the CSS flavor of the attack. To prevent that, you need to use an anti-leak custom stylesheet, except on Firefox, where simply disabling history is enough to prevent the attack.

Why are torrent sites using this?

There are certain forums they don't carry on well with.

Some sites want to know if the users visited certain links, and FST is at some of those. It can be used to trace recent trades or even public giveaways. I've discussed this at TC, if you remember.

Could you post the css stylesheet? I remember reading about that at your forum, but I've no idea where I can find it any more.
