Cross-site scripting attacks can be dangerous to a site, as they can be used to steal cookies of users accessing a site and eventually allow a malicious person to access the site as if he was one of the other users.
This class can be used to prevent causing greater damage to a site by detecting eventual attempts to perform cross-site scripting attacks and blocking the accesses of computers that were used to perform such kind of attack attempts.
