Chapter 2a. TOP SECRET: Eyes Only Duplication strictly prohibited


Welcome to Project: Chaos

Congratulations! Your wealth of experience and expertise in building web applications have made you a prime candidate for PROJECT: CHAOS. While the world sleeps on oblivious to our work, we are the men and women who ensure that faulty code will always keep programmers awake late at night, that moonlit walks by the beach will be interrupted by the ring of a cell phone, and that evenings started with a rose and a kiss end at the office, rather than in the bedroom.

We have determined that the Break Neck Pizza order form's interactivity could provide unprecedented levels of customer satisfaction, and greatly reduce the frustration of pizza lovers throughout this region of the world. Further, the application's asynchrony could catch on, turning the Internet into a dynamic, user-friendly place for browsing. This is simply not acceptable!

To receive your assignment, and understand how you can aid in combatting the rise of these "next generation" applications, you are to be sitting at a table for two, at precisely 10:14 PM, in your local Starbuzz Coffee Shop. Place a blue feather between the pages of a paperback copy of Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash".

You will be contacted; do not attempt to contact us, or the consequences will be more serious than you can imagine.


The napkin handed to you by the strange looking man with the gun.

Your mission:

Quietly hack into pizza.html, and locate the getCustomerInfo() function. Without being discovered, subtly change the spelling of lookupCustomer.php in the request URL, ensuring that the Break Neck app fails miserably when it tries to make a request. Do not turn the page before completing these changes, and saving your work. And...

DON'T GET CAUGHT!

Until next time...

PROJECT: CHAOS
