Hi, While we're on the subject of Internet Explorer DoS attacks, heres one that I found a while back. On a P800 with 512mb RAM, it causes 100% CPU utilisation and hangs Internet Explorer until it is killed. This is more of an annoyance than anything. This has been tested with IE version 4 on Windows NT, versions 5.5 and 5.5sp2 on Windows 95, and version 5.00 on Windows 2000 with the same results. You can find the test page at: http://www.ministryofpeace.co.uk/iehang.html The problem seems to occur when continuously updating a simple form text box over and over. I have also found that pasting a large amount of any letter into such a text box will eventually crash IE - can anyone verify this?
