Message-ID: <20040720203427.48022.qmail@web21407.mail.yahoo.com> From: greyhatthe2nd at yahoo.com (John Dowling) Subject: IE Not to return to the original post or anything, but was anyone able to identify the registry keys that will sucessfully modify the user-agent string? There seem to be many keys other than HKLM>software>MS>windows>current_version>internet_settings And the key at HKLM>software>MS>windows>current_version>internet_settings>user_agent>post_platform does not contain information other than what is available via group policy (is this key even available to xp home users?) >>>>The real solution is to use a browser with no known vulnerability (and that's better if it didn't have a lot in the past), not to try to hide what you are using. Full Disclosure. I believe in it. While I do agree that exploitation redirects based on user-agent proliferate, there are far more functionality-based redirects, and [opinion] I believe that masking a user-agent would result in a diminished browsing experience inproportionate to the amount of protection added. /jd __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
