- maxheadrum 6y agoI recognize the general pattern of the URL but if you changed a character here or there I wouldn't notice it.
- pmoriarty 6y agoAs an infrequent user of PuTTY, I don't recognize that URL. So I guess I'm not part of the "everyone" you're talking about. On the other hand, I think it's absolutely ridiculous to base one's security around URL recognition, considering all the possible attacks against domain names and URLs. Cryptographic signatures in a web of trust would be a big step forward here, but unfortunately relatively few people participate.
