WebSocket whiteboard with chat

Wow, so, I might have shut down the whole room by typing in the chat <script>window.close();</script> That room is a giant XSS disaster waiting to happen.

Yes, you did. I wouldn't recommend going to the site on your own machine because of the security hole. They should fix this as soon as possible.

Yeah, I fixed that. It was just a weekend hack. I think the Goatse guy forced my hand

Thanks for fixing it, and sorry about the window.close() thing :P Very cool; its mind-blowing how simple the code is. Can you post some of the server-side code?

Don't worry about it. It was pretty funny.

I'm going to probably release a NodeJS/Socket.IO version then do a blog post comparing the two and release all of the source code. Should have the Node one up in a day or two.

You did, it closes now almost immediately after opening.
