FWIW I recently evaluated a few DNS companies after Namecheap ballsed up our MX records in a similar way. I actively looked for someone we could pay money to, so we are their custo…

I’d suggest that running a vulnerable production service is asking for trouble! My web logs are full of automated scanners. Once when I ran a vulnerable version of Wordpress it got…

The first URL I entered (coop.co.uk) was actually pretty awesome, it detected Varnish and showed a critical CVE from last week. That’s cool. I hope that if you subscribe, the site …

Keen to get folks' feedback on this. I'm all ears! Here or privately, I'm paul at fluidkeys dot com.

I hear this sort of thing so often, the probability of it happening once during spring break (which I presume is several weeks) would be pretty high, if it were me.

A few bits of feedback: * I was confused by the idea of making a “keyword” (no explainer) and why I then had to “create account” (I thought I already made an account by verifying m…
