I stumbled upon an article about spyjax (using ajax to see what links have been visited) and thought this one was quite entertaining. And yeah were you guilty?

[mikesta707]

Haha, thats pretty awesome, I should totally spy on my user's history now, and bring it up at the most awkward possible situation as I can

"Good boy! You didn't watch porn."

 

 

Yeah... errr..... Yeah!  Of course!

[nrg_alpha]

On my system, it reports:

 

"Good boy! You didn't watch porn."

 

FAIL! (I actually did watch porn.. for .. err.. 'artistic research', yeah yeah.. research... in Chrome, in cognito mode [shift + Ctrl + n])

Porn incognito mode ftw!

[corbin]

Errr...  What is this wonderful mysterious Incognito Mode of which you speak?

Firefox private browsing for me. I can't believe they'd even bother with that kind of program seeing as how easy it is to bypass

[keldorn]

That css/javascript hack is actually a serious privacy implication. For example Daniel could lure you to a page on this site, then load that array of sites, then find witch ones you viewed, then send back the server via ajax then store in it the DB, then profile it threw an admin panel and see what dirty pron sites you all are viewing. Then quietly laugh to himself.

[Daniel0]

Actually, you can only check if a person has viewed a particular site, not get a list of all sites you've viewed. It's still a privacy issue though. Browsing history can be turned off in Firefox though.

Actually, there is potential in this. We could prevent people from starting topics in the "PHP Coding Help" board if the PHP manual doesn't show up in their history

$kwds = array('look','google','manual');
foreach($kwds as $v) {
  if (stripos($post,$v) !== false) $needle = true;
}
if (!in_array('php.net',$browser_history) && $needle) {
  echo "We're sorry, but your post has not been submitted, because we have detected B.S.  Please try again later, after you have REALLY made an effort.";
}

You could but don't see any way to do this without javascript though. Unless there is a way you could simply turn of javascript to post anyway. but something like this could work if there were a ton of links in it:

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/mootools/1.2.4/mootools-yui-compressed.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
    
    var urls = ['www.php.net','php.net','www.php.net/manual/en/index.php'];
    var known = [];

    urls.each(function(url) {
        var anchor = new Element('a', {
            'href': 'http://' + url,
            'class':'checkme',
            'html':url,
            'styles' : {
                'display': 'none'
            }
        }).inject($(document.body));

        if(anchor.getStyle('color') == '#551a8b') {
            known.include(anchor.get('text'));
        }
    });
    if(known.length == 0){
        window.location.href = "http://seeasea.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/rtfm1.jpg";
    } else {
        alert ("good boy!");
    }
});
</script>

From which point the misc board would be useless.
