    I've been testing the PHPIDS after Sirdarckcat tempted me with his post :) At first I created 2 simple vectors to make injection more difficult, then I spent a couple of hours coming up with a full tag and Javascript injection. I shall post the vector here once they have fixed it because it is quite dangerous and I don't want their site open to attack. So if you think you are a good hacker, try and inject some javascript on their Smoke test, it isn't as easy as it first looks.

    Prove it
