HOSTILE APPLETS

Mark LaDue's Hostile Applets Home Page A collection of increasingly hostile applets put together by Mark LaDue, a graduate student at Georgia Tech. In our terminology, these are all malicious applets.
Georgia Tech kicked Mark off their site, so his page is now hosted by Reliable Software Technologies, though Mark retains complete editorial control over content and RST does not endorse or necessarily agree with his opinions.
The Hostile Mail Applet Page WARNING: Jim Buzbee's first malicious applet sends mail somewhere unknown, from YOUR machine.
File Scanner WARNING: Jim Buzbee's malicious applet scans your diskdrive to see if particular files exist.
A tiny (killer App)let Brought to you by the Naval Postgraduate school. WARNING: This applet will crash your browser.
Netscape Browser/Java Applet Security Bug Redirect attack take one. This hole has been plugged.
MSIE Java Security Hole This applet, brought to you by Ben Mesander, colludes with an evil Website to send an HTTP redirect that apparently works only against MSIE. Ben's work was featured in a C!Net news story.
the crapplet Can't say that I've checked this one out, but it claims to do nasty things. Sounds like a typical DoS.
Two Security Holes Major Malfunction and Ben Mesander demonstrate a couple of security holes. A more cogent explanation can be found in the article "Is your browser a blabbermouth? Are your ports being scanned?"
