The only way to download files is manually or due to hacks in the Browser (e.g. JS Exploits, get Firefox + NoScript) or the operating system (Exploits are quick fixed, especially on Linux)

Cookies have a completely different system, they are sent in the http-header, this means you will receive them if you want it or not, your browser decides whether it will safe them or not.

Cookies are just able to allow people to track the sites you ar visiting (just if a banner of them is there), but you can avoid this by using Firefox + CookieCuller.

BTW: virus-free system for 5 months by now

I haven't had viruses for a long time either . Mainly because my brother couldn't look at porn when he moved to another state.

But another rant:
Junk mail, Russian brides! Number one, they always say they are really sexy and such and say that they want to come to whatever country you are in. There seems to be a couple million beautiful women there. Then they ALWAYS say don't reply to this email, really quite a coincidence every single person is using a <b>friends</b> email address. Oh and they always say, ' I found your email somewhere'. Where?! I don't go to any dating sites! Hate!!!

if ur really that sensitive to hacks then u might as well disable flash b/c flash can auto store up to 20mb of content while most viral binary code are less then 10kb and are executed directly by the machine as soon as it reads the code (these are binary and can be executed with out the systems permision b/c our system in on a higher level than the viruses themselves :P)

No code can be executed without the systems permission, ever heard about preemptive multi-tasking?
Every program must register a process no matter if it is written in assembly or in another language (I think you meant assembly with binary, every exe is a binary)

But you're right, holes in the flash-plugin may lead to the ability of flash-files to load a binary in the ram and execute it in OS-level.

Flash is disabled with NoScript at me.
My browser has to ask for permission to work with anything except HTML and CSS
I think to get more security I will have to use w3m to avoid malicious code stored in images

yes, but many viral executables are written in binary so that it will infect a computer when it is downloaded and then viewed

im not talking about assembly languages im talkin about a executable piece of code tat was written as is and is not even compiled, u can search some of these on line, there are a wealth of "disabled" viral codes online u can see

of course, flash and ur browser can detect this and will not open a document it deems not safe unless u specify it, but, once opened, the virus will likely "bind" (insert) into the browser and began spreading, etc

and yeah, ive seen the way they store "programs" in images, basically they embed a piece of viral binary in the picture that binds to the internet explorer's picture sand box and when u download and view the image...

this method was orriginally developed as a Semi-AJAX for assynchronous client server interactions, but hackers took advantage of this as well

You mean, machine code itself without assembly?
Why should someone write code without assembling it, it's just harder and the result is exactly the same.
assembling = turning machine-commands made human-readable back into executable form, it differs much from compiling of high-level languages like C or Pascal because no logical changes are made.

Eum... The image-viewer wouldn't understand this executable code and in most cases ignore it or in the other cases it would crash because it doesn't know what to do. (image viewers are made to view images, not to run programs)
To execute this you mus get out of the browser into OS-level, but I've told you already (afair twice)
But there is also the possibility of a security hole in the built-in image viewer and the code can be accidently loaded into the ram and executed on OS level. (search for buffer-overflow, common flaw in C++)

wtf? Binary code in images and ajax, are you kidding?
Thies "feature" would nerver be used for constructive methods because every browser programmer would have closen this dangerous remote-hole until the next release. Honest web designers don't need and don't even think of cracking because it is senseless of the page just works for some weeks.

o.O but these "programs" im talking about exploints its hosts vulnerabilities (the images)

and the AJAX method was developed when not all browsers supported the xmlHTTPRequest and thus they had to find a way to embed a Post/GET request in the image itself

you mean this "programs in images"? sure they do, but there are only few browser/OS (afair it was actually a problem in Windows, not the Browsers directly) which supported this stuff, and the hole is already closed, too.

Perhaps they discovered the problem this way, but I am sure they didn't used it.
Browsers that doesn't support xmlHTTPRequest got dumped by AJAX-Pages.

1) All Programs get compiled to binary, either by the Developer (C, Assembly, etc), JIT (C#, Delphi.NET, Java, Python?) or on-the-fly (JavaScript, Ruby, etc).
But those programs still need execution permission by the system, no matter what they are written in, and their behaviour and functionality depends completely on the OS (not even Java or Flsh behaves the same on any plattform)

o.O i always thought there was a way out of that part... guess i was wrong, ive reviewed osme of the viral sourcecodes and they mostly just exploit the hosts "vulneralbilities"

It grinds my goat when some CS2D players believe that there is a new version released when I prank them into thinking there is.

I make it look easy - Perhaps too easy...

OWNED!
nice i will have to try that some time. you used lua for it?
No, just a simple config which I binded to a key "l" for lol.

Also this was the first time someone actually walked into my trap/prank... so I just had to print screen it and upload here.
