tips and tricks for movable type

cookie grabber
August 11, 2002

In the midst of the MT support forum thread discussing Ben's Netflix Queue plugin, Brad Choate posted this little gem of an IE bookmarklet, which will display cookies for any site you're viewing.

Create a link in your Favorites folder with the following URL:

javascript:alert('Cookies stored by this host or domain:\n\n' + document.cookie.replace(/; /g,'\n'));

Or drag this link to your toolbar: cookie grabber.

Now click on the link you just created, and a message box will popup telling you if there have been any cookies set for the site you're viewing.

I just added a bookmarklet link to the entry above - try dragging it to your browser's toolbar or favorites folder.

Hmmm, this works, but, what good is it? you would have to do this on another persons computer.

Uh no - it's to show you whether your computer has stored a cookie for the site that you're viewing - it has nothing to do with cookies on someone else's computer.

Hey, girlie, will you help me with this, I will pay if you can hack it.

Get a life, hacking little kids accounts that they work really hard to get. Consider yourself reported, It is illegal to hack other ppls computers. I hope you get arrested!

OMG, I'm not talking about just anyones account, i'm talking about my friend that put a ton of signs in our school saying that I had sex with this one girl and i'm trying to get back at him by taking all his stuff.

I really care very little about your motivations for doing this - it's wrong, period.

Please put an end to your discussion on my site; this isn't a free-for-all forum here.

by girlie | 09.15.03 06:41 PM

OK, you are right, I am very sorry, I took sometime to think about it and i was wrong. It won't happen again.
