So You Hacked Our Site!?

A long time ago I came across a password protected site with a login page at something like:<p>www.example.com/private/login.html<p>I was curious so I entered:<p>www.example.com/private/<p>Sure enough I got a standard Apache directory listing, which included the password protected page...

Is there any way to use Google to search the actual source of a webpage? I couldn't find an "insource:" or similar function.<p>I'm wondering how many websites use this pasuser() function and think they're actually "securing" content.

Strange, I think I will never be jobless.

It's weird, I somehow HOPE it's a scam. If it's "legitimate" (as in, they actually think they're making good work) I think I'll have to shoot myself.

Well, that made me laugh.

<i>sorry our site wasn't protected to your standards...</i><p><i>-the guy from the company.</i><p>...For some reason I feel like I should respond to this, but it just doesn't seem like it would be worth it.

fluff!

that's the funniest thing I've seen on wtf in a looong time. The dummy who made the site apparently even posted on the wtf forum - in all caps, natch.

I know I shouldn't be bothered, but it really worries me that this is on top of news.yc :-(

Yikes. I can't say I expected the daily wtf to make the top of news.yc anytime soon.

I once wrote a report for a client for managers only with a special password, "aardvark". Every time I was there, I heard at least once, "Did anyone run the aardvark report yet?" I wonder if anyone ever caught on.

that made me laugh so hard...I'm surprised he managed to not <i>get sued</i> by the people he put in the "guide"<p>If its not a scam, I'll be darned.
