Consider a web designer coding a page with an advertisement anchored between two tags...
Web filtering software (ie, Proxomitron) then utilizes a filter which targets and removes any content "nested" between said tags... For the sake of discussion, let's use the <object - /object> tag... Under "normal" circumstances, that <object> tag is closed with an </object> only a few kilobytes away... But enter the dragon... Let's say some dumb (or ingenius, take your pick) coder comes along and slaps several spaces, tabs, and carriage returns, all randomly placed and quite chaoticly, within those "nested" tags - whoala, Proxo will no longer "trap and remove" the advertisement or whatnot that it was targeting between those tags... Only theoretical, of course... And not witnessed "in the wild"... But theoretically, slap a bunch of spaces, tabs, and carriage return/line breaks and you can, theoretically, slip something past Proxo... Having said all of that, it is merely a "theory" and not an "in the wild" encounter... After all, just how many coders are going to create a web page with two pages of code but turn it into a 20-pager just by adding in useless spaces, tabs, and return strings? |
