Phishing

Concept:

Collect the passwords of fellow students and present them as a series of small literary texts.

 

Execution:

Via a PHP script, a fellow student and I sent emails appearing to come from facebook.com, informing the user that a friend had written on his or her wall. These emails actually linked to a friend's host site, where there was what appeared to be the Facebook login page but in fact, upon clicking "Login," brought up a cheerfully terrifying Flash animation incorporating the user's password and a dolphin image created in Adobe Illustrator. None of the email addresses corresponding with passwords were saved, so I still don't know who they belong to.

 

Below is the page my classmates saw when they signed into the false site.
