I'm a bloodhound PMC member by way of working at the company that initially sponsored development. Unfortunately that project is pretty much dead.

I'd love to know which logging server they had exposed to the internet. Putting all infrastructure on a private network is security 101.

Personally I just integrate these checks into existing monitoring systems. For example, for sensu I use: https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-ssl

Domain expiry is also another one people sometimes miss that should be integrated into existing monitoring.

I don't think anything is wrong with the regular SVN releases but I think this allows them to put out patches quickly to their customers.

The version of SVN in the regular repositories for the Linux distributions is also generally quite far behind. They are distributing the latest version.

Out of interest.. How do you do that?

So all you need to do is have two extremely valuable .com domains and your a hit. Pretty sure this is something most people already knew.
