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

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.
TIA
paul
