If you ever look at headers on a Wordpress.com hosted site you'll get a job ad, check it out: http://gist.github.com/346227

curl -I http://wordpress.com/

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

X-hacker: If you're reading this, you should visit automattic.com/jobs and apply to join the fun, mention this header.

Reddit changes their server line every now and then. Its usually fun stuff like that, or the line of other servers that they clearly don't use. Its entertaining to check it occasionally.

If you have any suggestions for new ones, let me know.

  Server: <script type="text/javascript">window.location="http://reddit.com/r/netsec";</script>

Slashdot does Futurama quotes:

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_perl/1.31-rc4
  X-Bender: I'm one of those lazy, homeless bums I've been hearing about.

and

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  X-Fry: Hooray, we don't have to do anything!

and

  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  X-Fry: But this is HDTV. It's got better resolution than the real world.

etc.

$ curl -I www.reddit.com

Those dirty reverse SQL injections!

I think that's pretty common, no? I put a hidden message in my headers a few years back.
