Facebook 'hacksaw work'

A fun activity.
Requirements: Firefox with Firebug  (or even Chrome with Dev mode) and some basic understanding of 'calls' and related things.

Go to Facebook. Enter your username (which in facebook's case is your email id) and next do not enter your password. Instead enter a wrong password.

Now Facebook Facebook will send you to a 'login_attempt' page.

Now enter you actual password.

In the 'Post' call to 'login.php', in parameters you will see your dear password getting 'pass'ed nakedly.

Isn't that fun.

    P2:'Should I know all this?'
    P1:'Idiot. And you work in this field!'

I always like to hear back :)
However, irrelevant comments and irrelevant links will not be published. Needless to say, same goes for abusive comment and spam. Leaving back links related to the topic is encouraged. I know it can be tempting but try not to leave your email ids, phone nos and CVs in the comment.
