This is just to warn the list that the Web-form-based content management
system for IGF workshop descriptions is quite insecure. I've hacked it
without even thinking of doing it - just by reading the instructions,
you can imagine a number of different ways to do it, and I'm too curious
not to try.
Workshop organizers should perhaps back up any relevant information
while Markus (who's just got an email with all details) gets the bug
fixed. I guess they didn't imagine that anyone would want to mess it up,
and possibly no one will actually do so, but you shouldn't put
authentication forms on the Internet if they don't authenticate...
Apologies to Karen Banks and Matthew Shears - you'll find my test
greetings in your workshop descriptions.
