comment Known plaintext; What cipher is being used here?
@TildalWave: Ah lol. I spend like 15 minutes on a JS console with this cipher. using ASCII as a base didn't work, neither did some other reshufflings. Then I have up :P

comment Known plaintext; What cipher is being used here?
@TildalWave: No, it need not be: Like I mentioned, it would have an extended charset. Until we have a notion of an assigned number for each letter and character, we don't know if there is a loop in the above example or not.

@SébastienRenauld: How would you "load up a form"? Same origin policy makes sure that you don't GET x-site forms.

comment CSRF protection with Session Id
@SébastienRenauld: If someone is sniffing the request, they can just take the session cookie and be done with it. Why attempt CSRF when you have something better?

comment CSRF protection with Session Id
@D3C4FF: Doesn't matter. If your server accepts POST/GET requests without validating the request, it is vulnerable to CSRF. Servers don't care about javascript.
