RE: FWD: Internet Explorer URL parsing vulnerabilityok if your using outlook , yay for IE being tied in, it translates 
all the hex for you and those urls do work inside of outlook , since IE can translate the hex, where as if u enter it 
manually it dont.

  umm tested this you dont need %01 either btw.

  www.microsoft.com () www linux org

  was messing around with some hex stile as well is there a way to call a file:// inside a http:// becos the issue with 
doing the @ trick is it appends http:// automaticly, mind you , u could just make it exec some vb code or something on 
a site, just a random idea any way

  and it dont also seem to work if you use hex as well for the full domain ie

  www.microsoft.com%40%77%77%77%2E%6C%69%6E%75%78%2E%6F%72%67

  nor  www.microsoft.com%40www.linux.org

  where as if you www.microsoft.com@%77%77%77%2E%6C%69%6E%75%78%2E%6F%72%67 works

    Hmm, it doesn't seem to work on my browser :) 
    I don't even get transported to any page when i click the button. 
    But then again, i have everything turned off in the internet zone by default... 
    (but my submit non-encrypted form data is on) 

    Does it really work then?  it looks like it's using javascript...? (location.href) 
    Merry Christmas everyone :)

      LOL. This is so simple and dangerous, it almost made 
      me laugh and cry at the same time. Most of you will 
      realise why...;D 
      The Paypal, AOL, Visa, Mastercard, et al email 
      scammers will have a harvest of gold this month with 
      lots of zombies falling for this simple technique.

      Dont be surprised if your latest download from 
      http://www.microsoft.com turns out to be a trojan!
