The two links you posted strike me as alarmist. The first includes a link to the referring url in an attempt to make me believe it could track where else I've been (it can't); the second includes my (nonstatic) IP address (as does the first), which isn't useful to anyone as long as I'm not running a tftp server.

Neither link exploits any purported weaknesses in cookies or Java.
