Don't think so: it'd have to be a perfect Faraday Cage for the
frequency(s) you're shielding (ie: the mesh most be smaller then 1/4
labda) for that to work. Otherwise the tinfoil may even act as an
amplifying reflector... One' neck being in the way - one'd have to wear a
whole tinfoil *suit* - not just cranial shielding, but body shielding...
And not to mension the near field. (Move away from the equipment.)

But this is all assuming some king of RF or EMC is used for the exploit.
And i didn't see that is the OP article. So it may still be a logic error
in one of the routines utilized for HTML parsing...
