- The url should not be disguised in navigation bar and the address should show as http://www.kitz.co.uk/tech/exploit.htm
- Recent editions of FireFox and other Mozilla browsers should have also given you a warning pop-up before navigating to this page.

This page was orginally written in 2004 to help identify unprotected Internet Explorer browsers which may be vulnerable to attack. Since then it has been adapted to identify other browsers, and actually identified a major flaw in the Safari browser on the same day of release, even before news of such vulverability hit the headlines.
