One must always, always remember that the easiest way to get a password is to convince someone to tell you it. Be it by sharing passwords between websites (especially login:password pairs), or even typing the wrong password into a comprimised website...

However, the above is clearly the funniest way to get someone's password! =-)

...unless, of course, your password is '*******'. Then you've tricked them!

(that was a User Friendly comic strip, but I'm not going to try to page through their archives to find it...)

Let me get this straight... if I type *******. You see *******?

Cool!

the easiest way to get someones password in IRC is to hit ALT-F4 and then the user list comes up alphabetized with password included.

teehee

ahh social engineering at its finest. I love bash.org for the occassional laugh.

hmm, i wonder if that will work.. ******* ... nope, it didn't come up as stars on my end :(

That IS hilarious. Though you feel like a jerk afterwards, and you really feel like a l00ser when you're on the bad end. Still effin hilario.

I have lost so many hours reading bash quotes... there could be a HBO special on IRC chats and I'd watch it.

I think my IRC has a bug or glitch because alt-f4 just crashes it. someone help plz maybe i have virus?
