-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 ::sigh:: aren't there about a billion ways to render a browser 'un-usable' and thus have a 'denial of service' condition? // First thing that popped into my head javascript:while(1){alert(1)} ZOMG where's MY bugtraq id? You have to kill the process to exit (there are protections for retarded behavior like this in FF4 and Chrome, but not IE8). How about http://20b.org? I'd call that 'abuse of functionality' (especially on IE) With HTML5 I'm sure there are a lot more evil things that can be accomplished (using things like WebGL, etc) to actually crash the process by consuming a lot of memory/processing power. My point is there are a lot of 'abuse of functionality' vulnerabilities out there. Documenting every single one isn't necessarily a useful thing to do...
