Get Internal Network Information with Java Applets
Two Java applet leaks. NetworkInterface.hashCode() is the sum of each bound address's integer value, so reversing it recovers the IP of any local NIC, including VPN interfaces the same-origin policy hides. Asking Java to resolve a name through 'dns://' makes the VM query the default resolver and return its IP inside the error.
