You noobs...

(Don't get too tied up in the crypto stuff in that article.)

klondike's point is that simply monitoring the response of the "user X 
wants to change their password" web-form tells you whether there is, in 
fact, a user named "X" on the system.  That's kinda obvious from the 
bash script klondike provided, and I don't do bash...
