Redirection obfuscation in FF and NS

  ID and I were playing around with some weird redirection
obfuscation and came across these a few days ago (works in latest
version of Firefox and Netscape on untrusted site settings).  Sorry that
this is a little ho-hum but it's probably worth documenting:

  and

  http://rsnake:www.visa.com

  This seems like something that could confuse users.  This is the
same old "feeling lucky" stuff built into browsers.  Not so much a hack
as just confusing behavior to users which could lead to unintended
redirection and potentially more sucessful phishing attacks.  This
relies on being the #1 page rank in something, but that is pretty easy
with obscure search terms.
