Quite recently, Verisign took over the internet. What parts, you might

ask?

Well, the parts in nomad land.

Do a dig on _anything_you_like.net, and you'll find an IP. Point a
browser at http://junkurlblahblah.net, and you'll find yourself at
sitefinder.verisign.com

This by it's self doesn't create a vulnerability, however, when combined

with a XSS bug, this works in IE:

http://";alert('slut');".net

This wildcard DNS on the .net TLD will wreck havoc on mail
servers, and a few other utilities that don't cleanly validate DNS names.

Other less exciting versions of this XSS:

http://sitefinder.verisign.com/lpc?url=meow'><script>alert(document.cookie)</script><'

There is some other really funky stuff going on with JS on the sitefinder

site - - take a peek at the source under the portal pages.

Finally, Verisign, you are now the number 1 domain squatter. Eat a big

bowl of dicks.
