URL Obfuscation Examples

Web browsers understand all sorts of URL formats. If you want to go to Google you put www.google.com in your browser. These URL’s are also valid for Google as well:

http://1208930147

and

http://%67%6f%6f%67%6c%65%2e%63%6f%6d

For a good explanation as to why this is and what URL obfuscation is used for, check out this post.
