How to get linked from Slashdot

Jeremiah Grossman · blog.jeremiahgrossman.com

A five-step recipe for making slashdot.org display and link attacker-chosen content: fill in the story submission form, switch its method from POST to GET, click PreviewStory, and keep the resulting preview URL. Snipping op=PreviewStory makes it last longer. Link to it and crawlers index Slashdot pointing at you. Any preview feature on blogs or boards works the same way.
