Yesterday I was playing around with my browser when I found the feature "View Source", I tried it on the NG front page and I say awesomeness. All of the NG scripts. I was looking through them and I figured out how EVERYTHING on newgrounds worked. It actually looks like NG is purely javascript. I was thinking of editing them and opening up a new site and calling it Noogrownds. I was really into this, I submitted a mock-up to the art portal and everything. Then I realized that it was most likely illegal. Heck, with these scripts and a few hacking tools anyone could destroy NG. And if you were an advanced hacker you could clear all the staff's hard drives so it couldn't come back. I'm not saying I would do that, I'm just saying the security sucks. I wouldn't be surprised if Kongregate, Flash Portal, Deviantart of 4chan tried to destroy NG, and knowing this is only worse. So I decided to use the mockup as a base for a flash website parody of NG and make the NGscripts.txt a read-only hidden archive. If staff is reading this, the feature is in safari, using right-click. I feel ashamed for trying to make a Noogrownds...
Holy shizwizzle.

noob found out about view source
It's funny that if anyone doesn't know about something and they mention it, they know nothing. Strange...
Hey, Owsley. It's me, your hacker friend, and let me tell you a few things. Having hacked Yahoo! and Google (slightly, damn CSS verification), Newgrounds is a really freaking tough nut to crack. Everybody can look at the source of any page on the net, and that doesn't give them the power to hack it most of the time. I've looked at every single bit of JavaScript and HTML on this site, and it's secure. Not that I would want to hack NG anyways. Maybe.
Also, NG is not purely Javascript. You see all that HTML down there? Yeah.
Ah...ploop.
Also, Safari now? IE to Chrome to FF to Safari in less than a few months D:
What's next, Opera?
Mebbe.
Oh.
HOLY SHIZWIZZLE IT'S ZIGGYZACK!!!

lol don't worry, there's a bit of a difference between seeing some javascript and doing anything to force your own changes upon anyone else. If there were vulnerabilities in NG's code, they would have been exploited a loooong time ago. The only thing people can do with this knowledge is make mock-ups of Newgrounds for phishing attempts. And the alias detection actionscript in flashes, of course.

Although that may be true, you can still do a lot of stuff with it. You can even remove the copyright, which would suck a lot of monkey scrotum.
