DC801 site defacement?

[TheCotMan]

Actually, this one went down about a week before DC13 when the domain expired and was snatched up. The asshole that took it went and grabbed an old copy from archive.org or something and hid a bunch of advertising links in it.

That sucks. I've edited my post to break the url to that page, so as to not increase thier score with search engines.

Also looks like http scavengerhunt org is still "there" too but is ~ 2 years outdated. (2004, but no 2005 or 2006 planning.)

I think that the domain just expired.

dc801 is still arround and working on things for dc14.

Ok so:
http://www (dot) defconsandiego (dot) org/
Goes to to a travel page and
http://www (dot) dc801 (dot) org/
Goes to a porn advertising page.
(URL's broken because I don't want to linkback to these sites and increase their google ranking.)

Any other dc801 sites in Utah?
(Utah has a San Diego?yahoo maps)

[Added:]
Looks like the DefConGroups Page has the link for dc801 as the dc801 (dot) org site.

Looks like http://rootcompromise.org/ is still "there" too.

Also looks like http:// breaking-url scavengerhunt breaking url) .org/ is still "there" too but is ~ 2 years outdated. (2004, but no 2005 or 2006 planning.)

Humor:
Will the "real" Defcon please stand up? (heh)

I'm getting a placeholder travel page.

yes, it's a redirect powered by searchportal.information.com, typical of a domain squatter setup that appears when ownership expires.

I use Firefox and IE (carefully, I just don't do stupid things). Are you getting a different result when you go to

http://www.defconsandiego.org/ ?

The link to DC 801 goes to a travel site with numerous popups.

I mean no disrespect nor do I want to insult your intelligence, but is it possible you have a browser hijacker? Do you browse with IE?

Again, I ask with the assumption that this isn't the case.

When I visited the DC801 URL I found a simple page with links to porn sites.

Tell me this is a defacement please.

Looks like the whois information of dc801.org shows it is owned now by someone with an address in the czech republic, and their record was last updated 12-Jan-2006 12:21:44 UTC.

http://www.completewhois.com/ only shows back until Jan 20, at this time, and I don't see caches before Jan 12.

http://defcontv.org/ still appears to be up.

dc801.net and dc801.com seem to be available.
