This is an extremely stupid and simple script, using GreaseMonkey and jQuery, to auto login in hkej.com ( 信報財經新聞網站 ）

I am very annoyed by the site’s super duper session handler that

1. expire very soon
2. non working redirection
3. separated session handler for its forum and newspaper content
4. no ssl ( OK, I cannot help, but this means leaving credentials in GreaseMonkey will only degrade security slightly. )

Here we go :
