The site goes in a refresh frenzy if cookies are disabled. -----Original Message----- From: Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 1:26 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: a little good-natured snooping
Hi all, A client I had quite some time ago asked me to password protect his site - a request made after the site was already complete. He didn't want to pay for a proper solution, so I basically created some a static password cookie-based system. Now he says his former partner gained access to his site without a password, though I think it's much more likely that his partner just got ahold of a password. I wonder if any of you would like to try to view this page - try to get past the password challenge without knowing the legitimate passwords. If you can do it I'd like to know how you did it. (Because it's a weaker-than-normal scheme I don't doubt it's possible, but I'm resistant to his insistence that a joe-shmoe could "hack" his way in.) Anyway give it a spin if you're interested: http://www.mcglogistics.biz <http://www.mcglogistics.biz/> 2 more things: Firefox pukes on the site. (standards shmandards, I used to say.). Also it's not any sensitive data at all - just brochureware he decided he needed to control access to. So I'm not at all worried about handing over the keys to the kingdom by inviting your snooping.
