:: Do you ever wish you could hack those stupid, self-gratifying Web pages  ::
:: at places like Angelfire, Geocities and Tripod. Well you can, through    ::
:: social engineering - and it's easier than you would think. I thought of  ::
:: this method and tested it out on my own Angelfire page, and it worked    ::
:: fine, and should work at other places too.                               ::
::                                                                          ::
:: Right, so let's say there's a lame page which we would really like to    ::
:: kill at www.angelfire.com/ok/daniel-is-so-cool that looks something like ::
:: this...                                                                  ::
::                                                                          ::
:: "Hi, my name is Daniel and I am a computer genius. All sexy women who    ::
::  want my body can e-mail me at daniel@aol.com"                           ::
::                                                                          ::
:: Needless to say, Daniel deserves to die. So, we fire up our anonymous    ::
:: mailer and send mail to webmaster@angelfire.com that appears to be from  ::
:: daniel@aol.com reading something like this...                            ::
::                                                                          ::
:: "Hi, I have an e-mail only account at present, so I can't get onto the   ::
::  web to change the e-mail address for my account. My Angelfire page is   ::
::  www.angelfire.com/ok/daniel-is-so-cool, could you please change my      ::
::  e-mail address to daniel@beer.com"                                      ::

:: And as you've guessed by now, we've signed up for daniel@beer.com to     ::
:: foward to *our* e-mail address. Now, we sit and wait until they change   ::
:: the address, at which point we will be mailed our *new* password - thank ::
:: you very much, Angelfire! :-)                                            ::

:: But please, guys, don't hack too many pages this way, lest it stop       ::
:: working. Just nail lame people who won't know what the phuck hit them    ::
:: and will never say anything.                                             ::
