Pretty simple script, I think you get the idea by just looking at it.

Code:
*Removed as requested*


I tried this script at a Swedish website called Playahead(.com), and I got 16 accounts in just 30 minutes.

How exactly did you implement it onto the site?

Look at it again.

If I'm reading it right, it's a dynamic sig type script which causes the password auth box to pop up when a page containing the image is loaded. If you're dumb enough, you'll put your username and password in... et voila.

Hi!
Very good, BUT be very carefull when you use it. My friend made one of these up for something I can't remember now and he was stupid enough to host it with his Service provider who knows his name address and phone number and he also stuck his email address from the service provider on the form.
The next thing he knew he had these people from the goverement as his doors.

The chance of anyone knowing what these do are slim to none.

If you read it properly, you host it on your own server and the text file is stored on your own :-)

Good, because you shouldn't be doing it.

But again you've got to exploit the most unpredictable part of the computer, the users :D

I don't think anyone is prepared to help you brake any laws.

Judging by your location, you are in the UK? Please bare in mind that this particular activity is covered under the Computer Misuse Act 19** (I think its 1990). Violation of this law carries a prison sentence, and/or a fine if convicted.

We just did some stuff about the Computer misuse act and the data protection act and it is illigal to try and gain access to data such as passwords in such a way. As oly86 said it is illigal in the UK, but I would think it is also illigal in other countries.

no probs I was just going to see if it worked on my server, as I know all the passwords on the forums to my server, as they are all family at the moment.

I don't know what illigal, but it sounds nasty. It's probably against the law too :P Better listen to the Inquisitor :lol:

I actually think this topic should be deleted. We shouldnt promote or discuss something like this.
