I just noticed that the current version of XOOPS and PHPNUKE function looks identical when you right click and view-source:


function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

I know that 2.0x is a complete rewrite and is not suppose to have any remnance of phpnuke. So which leads to the question...who copied who?

well, i know FB has been copying alot of the NukeScripts and NSN dev team's code, into PHP-Nuke, so it's my bet the 'copycat' is a nuker

lol

buuuuut, this is an assumption, and we all know assumptions are often wrong

Actually those will be functions that Symantec software adds on it's behalf to pages you view. I'm guessing you're using Norton Internet Security as that's known to add this. So there's not actually any identical code just NIS is adding extra code to pages you view. Do a google search on "function SymError()" and you'll see many others have found this.

well, if it's anything like the code that ZoneAlarm inserts into the page, it's to prevent private header information from being given out, also possibly to stop any type of popups or malicious code, etc

i'm sure he has a more accurate explanation tho

According to Symantec it's part of their ad blocking features:
