WELCOME TO OUR SECRETS

(none)

As you will notice, the username you just typed in has been effectively logged. This method is similiar to cookies but again it just uses environment variables. Alternately, we might ask you to enter your own user name and password. Since most of the time users type in the same username password as their login to their ISP, we might write a perl script that will collect your user name and password and the other environment variables (most notably REMOTE_HOST), telnet in to that address of your Internet Service Provider and try to log in to your account while you are happily viewing the pages. Since it is illegal for us to try to break into your account, we cannot demonstrate it here but if you contact us and allow us to do that, we will demonstrate that for you.

Advanced users can read here more on technical details about envirionment variables and what is going on when a connection is being established or how we accomplish all these on regular web pages.
