Top Ten Web Hacks of 2007 (Official)

The polls are closed, votes are in, and we have ten winners making up the Top Ten Web Hacks of 2007! The competition was fierce. The information security community put 80 of the newest and most innovative Web hacking techniques to the test. The voting process saw even some attempts at ballot stuffing, but to no avail, and very few techniques received zero votes. The winners though stood head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks to everyone who helped building the list of links, took the time to vote, and especially the researchers whose work we all rely upon. Congratulations!

Interesting. Could you elaborate more on the sampling? For instance, how many total votes, what's the distribution and spread, how long was the poll open, what this self-selected, advertised anywhere?

thanks.

Its difficult for me to pull out the individual numbers from Survey Monkey, but I can give you some estimates and NO this was NOT self-selected. 2006 was more of less.

Over 50 people voted and polls were open about a week. Voting was advertised on my blog (and others), the web security mailing list, and emailed directly to several of my personal contacts. Word got around.

The lowest techniques on the list got about 10 votes, while the highest 20+, the rest obviously fell somewhere in the middle. Most of the remainder were in the 2-5 vote area.

Poor poll! Wrong urls, "techique vs hack" misconception, miscredited stuff.

Not a good job at all.
