Clicking the "What's your DOMAIN NAME?" ad returns a MIPS binary? From 'string' output it seems like the the cgi-bin binary handling the redirect and writing a log file to /d/adserv/netgravity/logs/AdServer_log. I wonder how that got indexed.
- caf 5y agoI'd say at some point the cgi-bin/ handling got disabled on the server, so it just started serving the binaries.
