It would be awesome to add some js to a website you own to spawn a computer controlled defender if someone uses this script on your site.

I wrote a defense: http://github.com/bl4k/astroid-defense (bit scrappy, 10 min of code, but funny) (test it by running asteroids on this page: http://bl4k.github.com/ )

ha nice one, but astley video is blocked.

Could, but doesn't: http://github.com/erkie/erkie.github.com/blob/master/asteroi... Though, it appears he was trying to implement high scores, which would send some information to another site, including document.location.href, but it is commented out in the version I linked, and removed in the minified version.

> Could, but doesn't Could, but doesn't yet . If you're not locally rehosting the 'known-good' version that you just audited, you're not being paranoid enough.

If you're on the internet, you're not being paranoid enough.

Though that's a good reminder :) Thanks for pointing it out!

Holy crap, I had an extremely similar idea last month for a bookmarklet that let you machine gun and blow up pages. In fact, it's sitting half complete in a projects folder. Erkie, get out of my head!!!! At least it's open source, so I guess I can fork it and add in my ideas.

Same here! Except instead of blowing up the page, you shoot at links to follow them. Also, fog that is revealed as you move around, minimap, etc. Maybe this can spark some more ideas?
