ChiefDelphi is 1337.
 

K, so me and another Chief Delphi member (Adam from 1341) were looking around the new Firefox plugin Yakalike. Yakalike is a program that lets people chat to each other when they are browsing the same site. EG: People browsing ChiefDelphi could all chat together while browsing.

Well, anyways, we were just looking around. We thought it might be based on some sort of IRC backbone (which we still think, and are trying to prove) so we were trying to prove this. Lo and behold, we accidently stumbled upon the login script. So, this sparked our interest. A few stumbles later, and we find out that each site has a unique chat ID. Guess what ChiefDelphi.com is? Quick snippet from my packet sniffer shows...

(channel_id is the GET data referencing what channel to post data to)

So yeah, I just thought I should share that with you guys :)

EDIT: Link to yakalikE http://www.yakalike.com/
And yes, we are currently writing up an email to the developer of yakalikE explaining this security hole and possible ways to fix it.

was there ever any doubt? :p

Re: ChiefDelphi is 1337.
 

I just installed this extension on my Firefox that I use at school, and I can honestly say that it is really freaking cool. I'm sigging that link.

Anyone notice that the yakalike website has blocked registration and downloads? Has it been like this, or is this in response to Mike's e-mail, and they're fixing the hole?

Re: ChiefDelphi is 1337.
 

Downloading isn't blocked and registration has been blocked for a while, presumably because of the digg effect. (don't think /. hit this too, but might be...)

I hate to bring back a deadish thread, but hey its better than making a new one.

Yakalike is back up, the Digg effect is over and they are compatable with the latest Firefox stuff, so if you guys are looking for something to do http://www.yakalike.com/ and well, we got a chat going on chiefdelphi.com so come and drop us a line if you'd like. Its a fun program to use.
