Do you recognise this person?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I am the Dulwich born and bred girl by the way, he is Dulwich connected purely by association with me! Lucky fella!

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Ok I am dumb , ignore me, just read the thread and realised that no one can see my photo on here, just me! Duh, I think I may go back to bed!

[TillieTrotter]

No HH, we cant see you, you see yourself!! Confusing.

[AcedOut]

It really isn't that clever. It just runs a php script (see the 'badge.php' in the url) that runs on the facebook servers, telling it to return the profile picture of the person logged in.

[VeryBerryCherry]

I think it's pretty clever.

Not necessarily how it works, but how it fooled the likes of Heidi, myself (gone pink at this point) and everyone else.

Brilliant

It's just a bit of fun.

Let's not start with the computer-code-knowing dickswinging thing.

If the full url wasn't shown (posted as a link) then I guess it wouldn't have been such a giveaway.

Someone did this to me and managed to make up a fake BBC news webpage, with my pic embedded in it (dynamic, like this - taking the pic also from facebook). Now that was clever, and caught me out for a while! The headline was "Person wanted for questioning".

Come on *Bob* surely EVERYONE knows what 'badge.php' means.

jeez.

This person has more spare time on his hands than I do.

Is he available for lunchtime drinking?

Anytime after 11am will be fine, thinking about it.

[karter]

This is absolutely genius and couldn't stop laughing. For a minute there i thought i was being stalked *again*.:))

[AcedOut]

Bob, I doubt it took him long to be fair. As for a lunchtime date, I'm sure his 'dickswinging' antics wouldn't suit a man with your busy schedule.

[*Bob*]

Come now, AcedOut.. I think everyone knows what little time computer tekkie types actually spend working.

A rough job breakdown would be:

15% explaining to 'civilians' how difficult it will be to accomplish the task they've been set.

5% doing the job itself.

80% on Facebook, general dickswinging and Googling ex-girlfriends.

[AcedOut]

Then I'm clearly in the wrong job...

[louisiana]

Didn't fool me, as the little trick doesn't work on a Blackberry...

[TJ]

got me - deleted all my private info on facebook...

needed to be done anyway...

[JenSpen]

My heart just jumped into my mouth when I though JR was spreading rumours of me as an ED troublemaker!!

Now is this clever or downright dangerous?

What if it had been a malicious PHP script?

Does EDF Admin need to review security?

It is definitely not downright dangerous.

We do not want to stop people linking to other websites in their messages and, as in this case, it is on another website that the script runs. We cannot be responsible for other websites and their contents as there are rather a lot of them. I would however recommend that people keep their internet browsing software up to date (FireFox 3 is especially recommended) as their increased security may help those worried by malicious scripts.

Security on the forum is reviewed frequently and any issues we discover are addressed immediately.

dAMN THAT WAS FREAKY!

[????]

Very good (now i know) until then worrying

[Azul]

now who's that grussell that keeps perving over my pics?

[Azul]
