Scarry... I tried it with Win2K SP2 and it works! Also, tried it with a exec file (renamed to WWW.TEST.COM) and the file executed no questions asked! Tried it with a valid (and verified) URL name (www.novell.com) and guess what? Same results! Can potentially be harmful.

Hello all, I have found that if you name a file (can be any data file) a certain URL, on your desktop, and then g0 to IE and type that url, the web site will not come up, only the program that was named the certain.confusing? i.e. - copy autoexec.bat to ..\desktop - rename autoexec.bat to www.google.com (can be any url) - then go to IE and type "www.google.com" - your batch file is then ran a few issues i have w/ this is: - the prog will only run if it is on your desktop - if you type "http://www.google.com", for example it will not run(unless u name your file the same thing) - it has only been tested on Win2k SP1, Winnt 4.0 SP6a w/ IE 5.5 - it doesn't seem to have any privelage escalation (all progs are run as the current user logged on) Just want a few others to try it and see wut they think thanx alot redpantz ------------------------------------------------------------ [- Get your own free e-mail @ http://www.crackdealer.com -]
