    A List of Dead Links

    So, I was perusing the Link-O-Rama page, and I happened upon a great many dead links. I couldn't find where to post/report on dead links, so I'm going to post a thread about it and hope that a mod stumbles across my findings. The list is as follows:

    - Loompanics Unlimited (had a going out of business sale in '06)
    - Ninjagear.net
    - Info War
    - ICSA
    - WorldWide Wardrive
    - Bodyguard/IAAPS
    - Hacker Defense Fund
    - Windows NT Security
    - Locksmithing FAQ
    - MIT guide to lockpicking
    - Cryptography FAQ
    - Intelsat 809 launch
    - Anime Music Network
    - M.I.T. Gallery of past hacks
    - ExoCom
    - Underground 100 (Permission error)
    - ForensicsX
    - Dutch Phonebook
    - Ted The Tool's Guide to Lock Picking
    - Lockpicking 101
    - Mac Hacking Resource Center
    - The Shared Forum
    - Known Windows NT exploits and fixes
    - ntbugtrack
    - NT security FAQ
    - Hackerz Voice
    - Caezar's Challenge
    - Web Hacker
    - sheebeen's page (appears to be a restaurant...not sure if it's relevant or not)
    - Blacklisted! 411 site/forums
    - Page 33
    - CPIO (is russian, should be under 'non-english links' instead of 'Other security-related sources, and may or may not be relevant)
    - Guerrilla News
    - The Hackademy Journal (is actually a link to Hackerz Voice, which is odd because the Hackerz Voice links don't work at all...)
    - WiReDS Hotwired page
    - annienonymous
    - Speak Freely (is no more as of 2004)
    - MIT PGP Fone
    - Cryptography, PGP, and Your Privacy
    - Peter Gutmann's Security and Encryption-related Resources and Links
    - In-security
    - 2600slc
    - Cult of the Dead Cow
    - NWO
    - Drunken Whores (has nothing but 'whores...whores....whores' on the page)
    - SmartHackers.com
    - International Information Retrieval Guild
    - TNO (almost as pointless as Drunken Whores)
    - SotMesc/GCMS
    - Chaos Computer Club (is in german, should be in 'non-english links')
    - Axcess 4 All (is in swedish(?), should be in 'non-english links')
    - Virii/Anti Virii
    - The Ethical Hacker´s Against Pedophilia (EHAP) homepage

    This is a fairly long list, to be sure. Again, I looked for another place to report these, but I could not find one (or perhaps I didn't see it, I'm new here). So, lemme know if I'm being an asshole by posting this, and where to report in the future.

    Umm, right at the top of the Links-o-Rama page...

    If you want your URL added, just send them to the blackbeetle at defcon.org, but be sure to tell us what category you want to have it listed under!

    NOTE: Report dead links! New links will be added as we recieve them.

    Seemed obvious enough to me.

      Be confused all you like, but reporting them hasn't seemed to make much difference. Some time ago, the site (other than the main pages) reverted to an older version (I'm just guessing), and *we* (as in the dc-stuff mailing list) disappeared off of it as well. I've sent in updates, more than once, and pretty much nothing has happened. They're all mostly hidden links anyway, so I'm not sure whether it matters or not.

      If I sound undiplomatic or unpleasant, sorry. I just barely started drinking coffee, and that may mean I'm not my normal sweet self.

        Oh, you're cool. I was just putting it out there that there's a ton of links gone bad. And for the record, erehwon, there is no link or otherwise at the top of the page for broken links. It simply states to report them. Otherwise, I would have hit said missing link. And I say that most respectfully.

          What I think he meant was you are suppose to report bad links to blackbeetle at defcon.org.

            Re: A List of Dead Links

            Thanks for bringing this all up again guys.

            The links page, along with the mailing list page and books page are all currently being redesigned. We are adding a movie and a music page too.

            Back when there were very few books on computer security it made sense to point to the good ones. Same with links to sites. Now there is an embarrassment of riches in the space and it is hard to keep up. To help with that the new home page Neil is working on will be more mobile friendly, more focused on solcial aspects, how to get involved, and other resources. I want the new site to help bring people in and give them some sort of direction.

            I'm sorry the old pages have dried up and died, but we are in the process of breathing new life into them.

              Additional dead links from the BBC.

              I bet NPR gets this breaking news tomorrow.

                    No worries, someone in the house drank the last of the caffeinated drinks, and didn't add it to my grocery list, lack of sugar and caffeine at that hour and I get a little antsy.

                      That's not fair...you're here every week :~).. And most other weeks that have days in them too.
