This is a concept paper, and not meant to actually happen. It's possible
this could happen, but ideally it may only happen once or twice. This is a
conceptual piece to show a new method of attacks. Someday this could become a reality.
The idea behind this attack came to me while I was busy auditing some cgi scripts dealing with banners. Now, this attack *does* have to do with banner systems, but nine
tenths of the time this will not apply to small time top 50, top 100 sites.
