Oh dear god. I can only hope this is an attempt to crack idiots servers, rather than a serious service. I love the "it's your responsibility to secure your key in transit" disclaimer.

I think it's actually a pretty good idea.

If your goal is to scam clueless people, of course.

I wonder if the server runs Debian.

Domaintools shows they have 'private registration' and a established SSL cert even though they're not using one and on the site claim they're 'getting one soon'

Pretty fishy.. or should I say.. phishy?

This is funny. Reminds me of the chap who wondered on an online forum about how to hack his school's server, and forthwith acted upon the advice from the forum to send a "ping of death" to the i.p. address "127.0.0.1"! :-) Could just be an urban legend, but still amusing!
