Our P2P Find For: September 1, 2004

This isn't actually something I found so much as one of my search results. I typed in .htpasswd which for those of you who don't know, is a file used to store a username and password for access to a particular website or webpage. I got 52 results. Now not all of these are necessarily live files on websites, but at least some of them probably are. Which means, people are running a P2P application on the same machine that they are running a webserver (not smart) and that they have sites that they want to restrict access to!

Note that the passwords will be encrypted in these files, so it isn't _as_ bad as you might initially think.

Err - my htpasswd just contain a link to a passwd file - so nothing interesting in there.
