Slightly related, I ran nmap scans on the known NK internet for a while. The data can be found here: https://github.com/benediktkr/nk-scans

Well, I hope for the head of the NK chief propaganda minister that the grand divine dictator's internet does not break down with all the traffic from Hacker News..

"Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, visited the Sohae Space Centre to inspect the ground jet test of a new type high-power engine of a carrier rocket for the geo-stationary satellite."

It sounds really hilarious, but it reminds me of the soviet era in the Warsaw Pact member states. Poor citizens. We are so lucky to have a degree of control over our supreme leadership..

I find it amazing that you can actually read (yourself) all of the content of all the toplevel DNS zones of a country. In 2016. Two subdomains in .edu.

What do you mean by "In 2016"? This is by design...

I think GP means it is notable that, in 2016, the zone list for NK is so small that it can be perused in mere seconds due to its short length (as compared to any other country).

For someone who isn't particularly familiar with DNS, what are the implications of this?

That their intranet/internet is apparently pretty small, comprising only a few dozen domains, run off five Nameservers. Also cooks.org.kp. I really want to go to the Facing grand slam popular restaurant , previously the Flavour bases loaded restaurant , but they're really embracing their new name apparently. http://cooks.org.kp/restaurants.php?rID=21

Their pictogram of a phone in 2016 is a rotary phone.

It's safe visit these websites ? I've visited cooks.org.kp with JS enabled-_- (but origin ublock active)

ublock only blocks known trackers or obvious ones, so it doesn't do anything to protect against potential browser exploits Kim could be running.

That being said, I doubt North Korea is sitting on too many unknown browser exploits.
