DOSBox has been ported to the Google Native Client (a browser plugin that allows to run x86 code loaded from the web in a secure sandbox).

You must use Chrome 11 and enable NaCl in the about:flags tab.

It works fine, but I couldn't find the source code of the port.

Who can spot the error? (;

P.S.: cruel joke, here is the info.

That exploit doesn't use NaCl...

But still, you have a point.

No browser is secure if there is a human in front of it.

The author has posted the source code (he was too excited to share his work and forgot to put it online before announcing the project).
