<P>They have a cool and useful feature that allows members to vote on the success rate of a certain username and password. It works pretty good for the initial scanning about which of the usernames and passwords to try for your service.</p> <P>This website is not one that I would actually enourage or approve (some of the websites in their database, like the NYtimes, usually charge for an account, so basically, this website is illegal), but I can’t help to see it’s definite advantage (to various users).</p> <P>If I’ll receive any legal notices, I’ll remove the post :)
