Oh, then perhaps it should have linked to a cached page. Now it's just confusing...

I'm sorry but what exactly indicates that it's hacked? It says it belongs to Google Inc, the nameservers end in .google.com, what's wrong here?

Nice find. The rest of the internet just beat you to it by about 10 years :P

Oh come on... Let me make you one in HTML4.01! Or HTML5! Or Javascript!

Pixel by pixel... seriously.

Limited in the free version? This isn't going to work in the battle against Facebook... Yes, I realize it's too early to 'battle', but if it's starting out like this already...

I only see two paragraphs. Here is the full article:

The only thing I did was remove html. The article looks identical, the menu and site structure is intact, and there is a lot less clutter on the page.

Fun fact: CNET has todo comments in their production code.

Why scary? I can login with Gmail on a website too; it's not like your IMEI is public data. And yes, you can also forge gmail's website when you can wiretap a network (ok it's probably hard with https, but on most sites you can), so don't claim you can wiretap the MAC address or IMEI to hack your Whatsapp.

Hmm, that's a valid point. I just have the idea of Linux distributions as being completely free and non-profit oriented. Also I'm used to the OS having no ads by itself, only on webpages. Guess I overreacted.

What the hell... I'll never use Ubuntu again. Or well, at least not for a while, even after it's removed. They call this "free software"?

Wow you're only the 3 millionth to post a PHP beginners tutorial. Most here are probably more interested in howto scale PHP to 1 billion users or so (like Facebook), not to learn howto write hello world.

You can brute-force everything, and since usernames are public and passwords often guessable, I bet you can hack some accounts on most websites. Also I'd be surprised if they didn't ratelimit you in a way that make such bruteforce attacks infeasible.

If we'd start to report all such vulnerabilities, we can fill up three pages of news with it every day...

Oh, how did you get that? incache:the-url didn't work for me. Thanks by the way!

Any mirrors? Site is down and not google-cached.

I just ctrl+f'd for the amount mentioned, got to the juicy part as well ^^

Or play both whenever you feel like it :)

I don't think that's small - OpenArena has enough players for me, that's probably less than 4000-6000 a week. It's actually kind of nice to know some people on every server you go. And being anonymous is easy, just rename to unnamedplayer or some random name (the default name).

Same in OpenArena, the organisation is quite messy. There are some modelers, coders, people who make maps in the hope of making it to releases... But nothing is really organized. Releases are not planned, and when they are planned they easily go 3 months overdue. But there is progress, and I think the game is already fairly complete as it is. Thousands of players seem to think so too.

OpenArena's goal is to make a completely open-source and free Quake 3 clone with some additions like delag, and it's actually the opensource competitor for Quake Live. It could use some more developers I think :)

Great news!

Personally I'm a bit more a fan of OpenArena[1], the community is a bit more fun-play focused than most other games (and you'll often get an answer when asking something ingame), but this game is great fun too. Good to hear there is progress, and also cool to see this on the HN homepage :)

Only, what has this 10 year old to do with it?

Funny, I was wondering about this exact thing yesterday. Trying Google though (hadn't thought about other DNS providers), the traceroute went to somewhere within Europe or maybe even Amsterdam. Being from the Netherlands, that'd be very close, there just is no way 13ms is a ping from America.

So I guess 8.8.8.8 is multihomed or however they call it. Still, the geoIP databases claim it to be in Mountain View where Google is, so I wasn't not sure exactly how this affected 'split horizon' (on which, as far as I know, the DNS decides which IP(s) to return for the requested hostname).

Setting the size a bit bigger (the default is really small I find), you really need a lot of imagination to see a face in it.

I fail to see the use for this. Why exactly would you want to know what pronounceable 5-char domains there are? It's like two minutes work to script this yourself.

Edit: Also neat how there is text and a copyright notice at the bottom which you'll never be able to read because the page automatically loads more domains. It's barely readable when holding down the end button...

Not sure about OSX, but in Windows you can. This is a huge miss in Linux I find (all distributions I've tried so far), you need the mouse to get anything done without resorting to a terminal.

I see; that's indeed a good idea. Perhaps it'd also be an idea to tell parents about the intended age range?

In general, I am a hugely pro-choice. If the kids think they are up for that kind of websites, let them be. The odds that they see something they'd rather not have seen are a thousand to one. Sure, not impossible and there will be plenty of stories, but it's not worth it to censor the internet like this.

Better talk with your children what the dangers are. Tell them how burglars find that you are on holidays and then break in, or how your Facebook images could be abused by that bully to make you look stupid. It'll make them be more careful, and you needn't use securly to block Facebook's photo upload feature. And yeah, you can also take the lead on talking about sex, better to have them hear it from a trusted source first hand. (I appreciated my mom's effort to raise me, let's say, aware of how stuff works.)

Also, asking people to do something rather than demanding or prohibiting, works always better[1]. If you tell your kids they shouldn't do something, they're more likely to experiment but decide it's better not to, than when you prohibit it and they're going to try and find holes. And believe me, try they will, often either finding a way or having someone fix it for them.

Lastly, I know someone who had this kind of block on his pc. Dutch kids, and I guess any, aren't frugal about swear words like "fuck". The kid who had this filter installed couldn't see a significant part of the forum since it blocks the entire page over that word, and he missed parts of discussions and conversations. Then someone tried to be funny and simply put "fuck" in 1pt white text in his signature, almost entirely blocking him from the forum. In the end of course, he found a way around the block. There are always ways.

I know this is your business and you're not going to stop for this kind of personal morals, but I wanted this to be out there. It's certainly nothing personal!

So, in practical terms, how much does it cost to crack a 9 character password? A-Za-z0-9, just using raw CPU power (no memory or disk space or bandwidth needed).

If that's anywhere under $100, nobody's hash is safe anymore.

I don't find it very surprising that you can see what domain someone's visiting; the system always needs to lookup the domain in a DNS query.
