Get your own free cup holder!

An interesting (and non-malicious) demonstration of why Active Scripting should be disabled in the Internet Zone...

EDIT: This link will attempt to open your cd-rom drives. DO NOT click on it if you are in the middle of burning a CD, or if your disk drives are covered by a flip-open door that could cause damage to them.

>:( Hi JC, No frr cup holder for me. All I get is four little vetical green lines followed by " Free cup holder" with more green lines on a black backround. So I assume the Active X component is not working for me - must be doing something right! ;D

For this demo to work correctly you'll need:

-Active Scripting enabled in the Internet Zone
-Windows Media Player 7 or above

Per the last requirement, all Windows ME and Windows XP PCs should work if Active Scripting is enabled as they come with WMP 7 and WMP8 installed, respectively. If you are one of the lucky few who never downloaded WMP 7 or above, this demo shouldn't work for you.

Good, Think I can live without it! ;D
I do use IE6 with XP but with most things locked down except for trusted sites.
I also use Opera 7.03 & Beonex.

Geesh, the lengths I have to go to in order to play with exploits like this. Maybe less protection would be more fun!

Nah!! ;D

Hi LowWaterMark,

It sure looks like more fun then going straight to the next page using Opera with nothing happening. :D

That it is!!

If it wasn't for the weaknesses in IE, there'd be a lot less to talk about in the PC security world. ;)

Actually, what's really funny is how fast people rush out to sites that have these kinds of demos on them when someone posts them. Myself included! :D

Yes, unfortunately they got so much volume when that link got posted on all the security boards that they took it down (I think within a day or two, as I recall now). Oh well. ;)

I am wondering if maybe this is the script?

<html>
<head>
<title>Free Cup Holder</TITLE>
<script language="VBScript">
<!--
msgbox "Click here to recieve a free cup holder",64,"Your free cup holder"
set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
for i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
next
end if
-->
</script>

Yes, that's it alright. ;)

Just the same old cautions here. If you are going to run it, make sure you don't have anything blocking your cd trays from being ejected. And watch your fingers and toes. ;)

Nod also doesn't like it, but i confirm it is quite harmless.
