Whoa! Facebook Returning Free PHP Code...
I just clicked on the photos application in Facebook and got back some PHP code. I won’t publish it here, for obvious reasons, but this is the header:
<?php
/* --------------------------------------------------------
My Photos - html/photos.php
---
Author: Jared S. Morgenstern
Creation Date: 7/7/06
Overview: Dispatcher page for code encapsulation.

I thought I'd read something about them testing out a new parser on a small section of their users. Perhaps that is what you ran into?

So Facebook goes open source. :^)
With this and reading Neil Mix's take on the Facebook JavaScript Developer API security holes, Facebook certainly doesn't fill me with confidence.

I was just reminded of this while listening to the comment and laugh on the lack of security focus in the recent Technometria Microsoft Research Panel.
The web may need upgrading as our lives more online and bots farms silently collect all our valuable information. :)
What's scary is another recent article from popsci on iCloning the iPhone and other hardware goods. What's to stop these cloners from creating viral, return to base devices that look original. Devices we use to perform all our online transactions...

Thanks in advance,
Lucas
