Am I hacked? Oh, it's just Vodafone
Tonight I was just checking out some web source to see what was going wrong on some site. WTF... this is not my source..., I suddenly noticed... Is my server hacked? Is my workstation hacked? This can't be true... But after investigating it's Vodafone who is kind enough to inject material in the websites I visit 8-O...
Welcome to corporate controlled life... hmmm, ow wait, :-D more to consume, nom, nom, nom...
So what's happening? I'm currently surfing the web using a 3G USB dongle from Vodafone. We're setting up a new site at z25 so I was just checking out what script was bugging me.
When I switched to viewing the source of the website I was quite amazed to see code I had never seen before. Ofcourse I now the source very well since writing it. Time to investigate...
Just to test if this is really happening I immediatelly wrote a very simple html file on a test server:
<html>
<body>
Hello World
</body>
</html>
Now when I surf to this html file with my browser this code is returned:
<html><script src="http://1.2.3.4/bmi-int-js/bmi.js" language="javascript"></script><body>Hello World </body></html><script language="javascript"><!--bmi_SafeAddOnload(bmi_load,"bmi_orig_img",1);//-->
</script>
A Javascript is injected!
Let's see what wget says:

Hey that's funny. Vodafone is checking the User-Agent since through wget I do get the original source. Let's fake a regular browser, to see what it does.

And here we are with the injected code again.
So what's the trouble
Well this is the same kind of trick the Tunesian government pulled on facebook logins. The injected code simply logged usernames and passwords.
But us, in our very civilised and transparent west, we don't have things like that... ? Well, Vodafone isn't sniffing our passwords (I hope you know to use HTTPS) but things like this open the door for more possibilities.
This injected script replaces all the images in the website with low quality versions. It gives some options to download the original image when you hover the image. This is ofcourse a bandwidth saver for Vodafone. However to do this Vodafone utilises Deep Packet Inspection and so is eavesdropping on your conversations.
I beautified the script a bit for you to explore:
