TrackMeNot Background Public awareness of the vulnerability of searches to systematic surveillance and logging by search engine companies, was initially raised in the wake of a case, initiated August 2005, in which the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a subpoena to Google for one week's worth of search query records (absent identifying information) and a random list of one million URLs from its Web index. This was cited as part of its defense of the constitutionality of the Child Online Protection Act (COPA). When Google refused, the DOJ filed a motion in a Federal District Court to force compliance. While viewed from the perspective of user privacy this seems a good outcome, yet it does bring to light several disquieting points.

A Visual Guide to the Firefox Web Browser - Learn Firefox Tab Mix Plus O&#039;Reilly Network: Avoid Common Pitfalls in Greasemonkey by Mark Pilgrim, author of Greasemonkey Hacks 11/11/2005 Once upon a time, there was a security hole. (This is not your standard fairy tale. Stay with me.) Back in those days, Greasemonkey's injection mechanism was simple, elegant--and wrong. Simple and elegant, to be sure; so why was it wrong? Security Hole #1: Source Code Leakage The answer lies in the largely untapped power of the JavaScript language and the Document Object Model (DOM). This leads directly to the first security hole. <script type="text/javascript"> _scripts = []; _c = document.getElementsByTagName("script").length; function trapInsertScript(event) { var doc = event.currentTarget; var arScripts = doc.getElementsByTagName("script"); if (arScripts.length > _numPreviousScripts) { _scripts.push(arScripts[_c++].innerHTML); } } document.addEventListener("DOMNodeInserted", trapInsertScript, true); </script> Clearly, this is undesirable. Security Hole #2: API Leakage This last API function is obviously the most powerful.
