Anonymizer.com's Test

[Jason the Eighty Eighth]

I just took a test at Anonymizer which shows me what Javascript, Cookies and HTML can find out from my computer, hence, what a Hacker can see once I am using the Internet.

I found out that Hackers can do so much damage from me just using a browser and surfing normally, which i am sure most people here does daily.

the test showed me that it can go into, and has just went into:

- all my drives

- it can determine my IP easilly

- it can determine my time zone, my geographical location (as specific as city) and country

- it can determine my MSN contacts o_O, and contact them using my account

- it can determine what i have copied on my clipboard right now

- it can determine and view my neighbourhood network

- it can see my important files in Windows directory, ie. Regedit, system.ini, Recycling Bin, FTP, Control Panel

- it can see my cookies from major sites

- it showed me a copy of win.ini file

so yeah, it is kind of freaky and unexpected. try it yourself.

fake... if u check the sources to most of those, it just has local javascript that only u can see.. its like saying, "look i can see my desktop, that means everyone else can see it too".. ip, geo and stuff normal for web browsers to broadcast. your network test thing is just an ip trace...

no biggie..

[Jason the Eighty Eighth]

never thought about it that way

that is kind of pleasing now :D

lmao the most hilarious bit is under exposed clipboard and hacking exploits where it's saying:

You must be using IE to run these tests

[bull]

:laugh: They failed on every test. The only thing that they got right about me was my time zone. :p

They said I was in VA, not even close. :no:

Never thought that way, for one second I was thinking of the worst. But hey I don't have top security files in my folders. :laugh:

This is pretty funny stuff, the only good that came out of this site is hoping that the proxy they have in the top left corner will allow me to get around my SmartFilter at School.

:yes:

[lrnecnaecge]

CITY: st louis

STATE: missouri

uhhh... no... not even close... only thing it did right was get my ip... whoop-de-doo...

[radioboy]

I think it determines that from your hostname. It determined I'm in Toms River, NJ, but my hostname is *.jdover01.nj.comcast.net so...
