Dan Brumleve is at it again with Brown Orifice. In this episode, our
fearless grey hat opens a security hole in the web's foundation that
makes Napster look positively tame by comparison. Be careful with
this, kids. It turns your Netscape web browser into a web server that
can serve up your entire file system to any other web browser.
