There's some interesting news recently about a funny bug in Chrome. And all you have to do is enter the following URL in your address bar and then access it:
http://a/%%30%30
I don't have Chrome installed but if anyone can confirm this works it'd be cool. Could be that Google fixed the issue by now so expect void results :D

It already crashes the tab when you hover of a link with that URL :P
So yes, it works :)

QuoteThe %%300 at the end of the URL is converted into %00 (0x30 is the ASCII code for '0'. The %%300 becomes this string of characters: the original '%', the converted '0', and the original '0'. Combined, that's '%00'.) This sticks a NULL byte at the end of the web address.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. It's only for chrome and chrome derivatives. Preferably older versions that might not have been fixed.
