Subject: Re: LinkedIn CSRF: Login Brute Force

It's a capcha bypass, not a CSRF as claimed. I'm also not quite sure
if the capcha has really been bypassed at all as the blog post in
spanish says you have to enter it manually from time to time...

"Si linkedin nos pone problemas con el captcha, lo que debemos hacer
es ingresar via web con una cuenta valida, capturar nuevamente el
Token e intentarlo nuevamente con ese token."

This line is quite funny: "Nota: LinkedIn fue notificado hace 2
semanas sobre esta vulnerabilidad, pero no respondieron." (LinkedIn
has been notified two weeks ago, but they never responded). The
comments are pretty clueless too.

the people.”
