The Attack of the TINY URLs
pdp turns TinyURL into remote storage for a self-contained AJAX worm: split the payload, base64 each segment, shrink every segment and the index with TinyURL, and 26 characters expand back into a large file. Retrieval loads each short URL in an iframe that writes its segment into the parent's fragment identifier, so the worm needs no server a defender can take down.
