Thread: CSS Hack info test

Everybody should be familiar with this:
Security Warning (CSS Hack)

I've created a little site that will check if you've been to www.torrent-invites.com, in case you just want to check with the browser you use to visit your trackers with.

First, let me say it isn't very polished right now. The free hosting is also might have adds, but if somebody wants to provide hosting I think I could polish this off and make it much better (if anybody thinks there is value!).

In any case, it will list if you've been to www.torrent-invites.com. I've only tested it with Firefox. If you use your browser to visit private trackers it might be a good idea to make sure to test out that T-I doesn't show up in the list of sites you've visited.



Furthermore, for the browser you use for private trackers, you should consider disabling www.torrent-invites.com so that you don't visit it by accident. You should have one browser for T-I and a seperate one for trackers. Read this:

Hope this helps!

So, how exactely i use this?

For me (with Firefox once I have visited T-I) it says:
Look where you've been:

....

• http://www.torrent-invites.com/

....


If it says "http://www.torrent-invites.com/" in the list, it means your trackers can tell you've been here (if you use the same browser you opened the link in).

My results (at work). I'm wondering why the list is so small. These are not the only places I visit.

• Yahoo!
• Google
• mail.yahoo.com
• ebay.com
• google.com
• torrent-invites.com
• paypal.com
• yahoo.com

The CSS hack can't get your whole history. All it can do is check if you visited specific sites against your history. Anybody who tries to use it must build a list of sites they want to check against, they can't simply pull *all* of the sites you've visited.

On the page I have only about 25 popular sites plus T-I. The other sites are just there to see if thinks are working or not.

Like I said, I could do something better if anybody is interested (i.e. polish it off to have a big box that says in bright colors if you've visited T-I or not).
