I think if you at least clicked the advisory link (
http://spoor12.edup.tudelft.nl/SkyLined%20v4.2/?Advisories/Anonymous
surfing, NOT! ) it would help relieve some of your ignorance. What he's
reffering to is a getting script (usually javascript) through the filters
and executing on the 'anonymous' person's machine. If a site can do that
they can save cookies to the machine, thereby breaking the anonymity.

It's not really cross site scripting, though the techniques used to get it
through are similar. Right now 'cross site scripting' seems to be the buzz
word attached to any security breach involving scripts. Something we have to
live with I guess. Anyway, whatever it's called SkyLined seems to be the
l33test at it ;)
