Postamble Puzzle

October 13th, 2008 by David Bradley >> No Comments

Have you ever looked at the source code of a web page in your browser, perhaps it was your own site you were checking out and you saw this:

<script language=’javascript’>postamble();</script>

First, time I saw it, during a momentary lapse of reason, I assumed my site had been hacked and some nasty script added to my code that would lead Google to label my site as malware.

Thankfully, that’s not the case. Have a look at the source code for the page you’re reading right now, see that phrase? In fact, try any page, if you see it, then I can almost guarantee that you have Zone Alarm firewall installed. This little snippet of script code is fed to pages by the firewall before they reach your browser window to protect your computer from malicious sites. So, panic over, nothing to see.
