Comments on: Yahoo.com Zombied and Hacked, Google.com Acquired By Calitec (WTF?) http://hackademix.net/2008/04/05/yahoocom-zombied-and-hacked-googlecom-acquired-by-calitec-wtf/ Giorgio Maone's answers to the Web, the Universe, and Everything Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:03:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: hanfi http://hackademix.net/2008/04/05/yahoocom-zombied-and-hacked-googlecom-acquired-by-calitec-wtf/#comment-7633 hanfi Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:11:39 +0000 http://hackademix.net/2008/04/05/yahoocom-zombied-and-hacked-googlecom-acquired-by-calitec-wtf/#comment-7633 Hi, I just wanted add, i really would like to see some sort of "Multi-allow". As you said, its maybe no good idea to use whois for this, since even if google.com is allowed dont means googleanalitycs.com should be allowed. A simple solution would be to just add a "(temporary) allow all scripts on the site" to the noscript menu. Then on youtube we dont have press 2 times, but only one time. For sure, my prefered solution would be to let users create "sets" in the noscript preferences, but this could be very confusing for the not so advanced users. Oh, and if im talking about missing features, a menu point "allow all scripts on this side until i leave(either domain or maybe even this specific site)" would be nice too. about the whois replies, i think as long humans play with technology, we will see things like that. Similar for http-headers, check out http://www.nextthing.org/archives/2005/08/07/fun-with-http-headers for example. Hi,

Yeap, you can do that too, it's really easy. And no, they aren't hacked :) this has been discussed a long time ago, and people were really fooled by it. Yeah it's just fun and games. Hi Giorgio!

Yeap, you can do that too, it’s really easy. And no, they aren’t hacked :) this has been discussed a long time ago, and people were really fooled by it. Yeah it’s just fun and games.

Then, early in the process, I was simply surprised and amused in finding so much unexpected spam returned looking up the most popular domains, and thought it was funny to share. BTW, some of those domains are certainly part of some SEO scheme, but some of them look just goliardic or vandalic... excercises? [edit]: Reading your comment, I've got the impression you believed I somehow "invented" or generated those names to WHOIS semi-random data. If so, please look better at my bash script: those names are <em>returned</em> by the root WHOIS meta-server when it's queried for YOUTUBE.COM, YAHOO.COM, GOOGLE.COM or MICROSOFT.COM. In other words, they are apparently domains with existent WHOIS records, and every time a GNU <em>whois</em> client queries one of the four popular ones it has to dig through all that spam in order to find the relevant info(!) @pdp:

All I can see is that you are whois-ing names which mean nothing. Giorgio, I don’t quite get the purpose of the exercise. All I can see is that you are whois-ing names which mean nothing.
