I quickly wrote a script to do this locally, not the most efficient, but I'm at work ;) https://github.com/hungtruong/LinkedIn-Password-Checker

That works pretty well. And yes, my password is in there.

I'm wondering about the legality of this. If you take an (assumed) stolen dump of sensitive data and turn it into a webservice, could you get in trouble?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can provide your own hash, and a quick source check reveals that plaintext is being converted into a hash client-side, so only hashed data is being sent to the server.

'password' was actually in use - go figure.

So was mypassword and others. Oh well.

I think its safer to test yourself than randomly typing your password in on websites =)

Not like they couldn't save it as a variable if they wanted. That's just what you see in the UI.
