Re: ColdFusion - CFID & CFTOKEN

[leighm () linuxbandwagon com]

Ive found that if a site is running coldfusion, chances are that the sysadmins
technical skills arent very good (or theyde write it in php or python or
something)

which usually means if you look around the system somewhere youll find 
something
that the sysadmin has implemented incorrectly

you may disagree, but thats my theory, and seems to work for more sites 
than you
think ;)
