cool internet trick

Try this crazy cool internet trick in your browser!

Go to google images. Search whatever you want. Then copy/paste this code in your internet address bar:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI= document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5 ); void(0)

Hit enter. Crazy, huh?

Hit refresh over and over to make it go faster. It also works on the main google images page, as well as many other websites if you just look around!

Didn't know that you can enter scripts via the address bar!

Now you know why so many of the security weenies don't like Java...

[FatBastard]

Its not java. its Javascript. Its 100% client side.

[MultimediaMan]

Yep, and running with the local user's credentials: if you're an admin this can be a bad thing, epecially if you don't know what look for in the Javascript.

Every time you run java script you invite code to run on your machine.
When you are running java script from localhost, or as file://... , then yeah javasript can access your file system.
when running java script from the Internet zone, you are quite safe, as long as you have your security settings on an adequate level (same source, no fs access, no starting process etc... ).
this is why "security weenies" on IT departments lock you usr's ability to change the security settings.

btw, security weenies can party!
