Perils Of URL-Shortening: Major Garrett’s Inadvertent Link To Softcore Porn
- bgraves 17y agoWell, apparently there's a market for "safe-for-work" URL shorteners, huh? Could be a nice weekend project for an aspiring Hacker.
- PanMan 17y agoHow do you determine the "safe for work" part? And what constitutes safe for work? I think my work is a lot more tolerant than some others, esp US based.
- rythie 17y agoThe problem is that some short urls are prefixes of others. You could fix this by creating a shortner where the links were always 6 chars long and never shorter or longer (giving you almost 20 billion URLs anyway)
