Show HN: Explore Random Web Servers
- wataruspeedo 8y agoLooks like most of the internet is broken.
- tyingq 8y agoNeat idea, but I get mostly certificate errors, bare Apache errors, timeouts, basic auth prompts, etc. Some kind of filter might make it more interesting.
- drankula3 8y agoI agree completely that further filtering would improve the site a lot. That kind of filtering would require a lot more than a basic port scanner. I'll probably do it someday. It's also really fun to find web servers on nonstandard ports, but I worry about the site then being abused to find compromised servers.
- eps 8y agoThat's like StumbleUpon for 404, 403 and 500 pages :)
- bharrison 8y agoUnsettling stuff for a Saturday morning; In two attempts I was connected to the login pages of two types of systems I use and administer regularly. I'm aware that this is indicative of bad security practices and not some vulnerability in those systems, but that didn't make it any more comfortable to see their familiar UI elements exposed in all their nakedness.
- octosphere 8y ago> exposed in all their nakedness In fairness, some of the better designed servers redirect to a domain. For example, one of the IPs I stumbled redirected to this weird portal (where the links point to the parent domain) https://www.cjb.net https://www.cjb.net
- xyzal 8y agoFound some home routers with default credentials. Will people never learn?
- nickthemagicman 8y agoI wish they would add a 400 checker.
- drankula3 8y agoI'll start working on one now. edit: Done. It'll take a while, but soon the database will be pruned. It will remove 404s and sites that don't respond in 0.25 seconds. edit2: It will remove status 500 as well. Let me know if there are any other broad groups that should be pruned. edit3: pruning 400 now too
- tyingq 8y agoPruning the default cloudflare message about not using a direct IP might be helpful. Like this one: http://104.18.4.92 http://104.18.4.92
- nickthemagicman 8y agoYou sir are the man!
- tannerwj 8y agoI've got Google.com twice. I wonder how many IPs would redirect me there.
