Yes. What I mean is that the average user will trust more an URL when seeing the word "paypal" in it as a domain name, rather than some dodgy-looking numerical IP address, with a sub-directory called "paypal". e.g.: http://1.2.3.4/vulnerable_app/paypal versus http://www.paypal.25u.com Personall I would think that more users would trust the second link. > > This is not really a new thing: > > 2005-04-19 08:24:49 ebayfraud.dyndns.org A 220.110.65.252 > -- pagvac (Adrian Pastor) www.ikwt.com - In Knowledge We Trust _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
