pdp

A short disclosure of a Firefox browser-history leak distinct from Grossman's CSS visited-link hack: it reveals which URLs were visited during the current browser session. pdp notes it can profile browsing habits, detect whether the victim is logged into a router management interface, and fingerprint router make and version, and links a proof of concept.
