Just 3 years ago I was looking at a portal site for airline pilots. They had a password field to get in which was all well and good, but there was a "hint" link for those who had forgotten the password. And on the hint page it said : "The site password is the same four digits as the combination lock on the door of the crew locker room at the airport." So a few lines of perl and an average of 5,000 hits gets you into the site and into secure areas at the airport. I'm hoping the site has gone by now. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.crypt.gen.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
