网络技术是从1990年代中期发展起来的新技术,它把互联网上分散的资源融为有机整体,实现资源的全面共享和有机协作,使人们能够透明地使用资源的整体能力并按需获取信息。

白帽子计算机安全:

URLs to articles in New York Times (NYT) published before 2013 have been found to be vulnerable to an XSS (cross-site scripting) attack capable of delivering code to be executed in the context of the web browser.

Based on The New York TImes’ Design, Almost all URLs before 2013 are affected (All pages of articles). In fact, all article pages that contain “PRINT” button, “SINGLE PAGE” button, “Page *” button, “NEXT PAGE” button are affected.

The New York Times changed this mechanism since 2013. It decodes the URLs sent to its server. This makes the mechanism much safer now

The Vulnerability was found by a mathematics PhD student Wang Jing from School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences(SPMS), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
