About petrucio's password hash hack... It is not so bad because it only shows the encrypted pwd and can only access cookies related to Perlmonks. With current JS security, I believe that unless you send email messages, you can only talk to the server the page came from.
If I can display your cookie to you, I can send it to me. If I can get your cookie, I can login as you.
I'm not sure what is allowed nowadays in scripts on home nodes, and I didn't go check the script in question (I'm pretty sure Petruchio is *not* sending it anywhere anyways) but the above should be true unless someone actually took a lot of time parsing and allowing certain js commands and not others. :)
You have moved into a dark place.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
