R4NT Alert?

by MaxPower

So in the past couple weeks I have visited R4NT a bunch as usual and had (finally) noticed something unusual when I surfed over to r4nt.com. My Norton Internet Security kept saying that it had blocked an intrusion attempt. I don't know if anyone else experienced that.

Norton would say it was a medium risk attack and give me this warning:

A computer with the IP address 127.0.0.1 sent information that is characteristic of the HTTP_ActivePerl_Overflow attack.

But it appears D4V has done a work around solution to prevent the conflict. It apparently was caused by Google Analytics (so much for doing no evil). I'll let D4V describe the issue in more detail, if he wants, for whoever is interested but needless to say as soon as he flipped a switch - BAM no problems.

Looks like Google Analytics is still too Beta for normal use.
