The battle between developers is a never-ending cycle, and the following example proves it yet again. Recently BBC’s iPlayer was hacked so that it was possible to download streams of your favourite programme.

BBC even posted an announcement of this:

The BBC has issued a fix to stop people downloading programmes from the iPlayer website that were intended for streaming on an iPhone or iPod only.

However, one relentless hacker has managed to hack it again. He has updated his script, which only uses Ruby now. One can get it from here!
