Collating a list of mysteriously murdered CEOs and high ranking engineers since 1998. The death of this engineer for EarthLink at 18 (while he also studied at MIT) and which allegedly involved a religious cult based in Oregon, is a good pla

The power of MLK's charisma is underestimated even today despite him being well known and appreciated. The guy was actually only 5'3" and had to stand on a pedestal to speak usually.

They could be making the money back on Ad Fraud. Perhaps the images and files they provide contain some kind of tracking script. It's easy to imagine giving someone some JS code to paste in instead of a simple image link. Also this cou

The robots.txt file of Oregon.gov is somewhat suspicious. There seem to be lots of hidden executable files as well as pages with GET queries. Because of the amount, I would guess some of the executable files lead to web shells. I am less su

Yes this is true. Also there is nothing to stop someone from simply buying a data center, or several, out right. I don't mean to be sarcastic here, but why spend $40 billion developing some new weapon tech that might or might not work,

I encourage all to look at the DNS hosting records for fbi.gov. They are bizarre. There is a big identity question with who the FBI is right now. I'm not confident any unit or person is from the FBI until I see strong evidence / i

The semantic web was at one time "the next big thing". It was one of those technologies that topped the Gartner Hype Cycle sometime during the first Web 2.0 years. Interesting to see it back again. It had many problems but was alw

Google Domains I have liked. There is DNSSEC, support for some of the more exotic records. You can secure access, if you're really motivated, with G-Suite Enterprise with Titan Key + Advanced Security turned on. Otherwise AWS Route 53.
