How to win the lottery????


Hi all, it's my first post there(even first post ever) so I want that it would be a litle funny.A few weeks ago I saw behind bulding that I'm working in a big box with advertisement :


Guess what in the box and you can win a dream vacation


As person that never gained any prize in my entire life I was really curious what will be in the box, but how I can to guess???


On the 'Box' I've seen an Url of site that you need to enter for posting the guess. So I entered to the site - it was simple flash application with couple of textboxes and button 'Submit'. As a good programmer, obviously I had fiddler always opens when I'm working. The 'Fiddler' defines in it own site as 'Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet'. Ok let's check how 'Fiddler' can help us to win the lottery :
I filled all textboxes and clicked on submit after it I opened my good friend 'Fiddler'. You can't even to imagine how I was exciting when I saw in Headers section of 'Fiddler' the url that this flash site post al my details to. The url looks like this:'http://HostName/minisite/CarCompanyName/CarModel' (sorry that I can't publish real url ,I don't want to harm guys that developed this site) . So in the 'Url' I could see either car name and car model.

First of all now I'm sure that in the box a car ,I even know the Name of company and a model of the car.So in few second I sent my gues to AnyOneDontKnowExeptMeTheName company. Now you want to know how was my 'Dream Vacation' ??Unfortunately I didn't win the vacation (I'm suspecting 'Fiddler' cheat me with other ToMuchKnown guys), but now you really know why we need to use 'Fiddler'!!
