I think it's actually a pretty good idea. If your goal is to scam clueless people, of course.

New YCombinator startup idea! Passwords are hard to remember. I can create a service to store their userIds, passwords and sites. That way people have to only go one place to get them. I'll call it a "personal ID agregator" during my VC pitches. I could make all the data public and accessible from anywhere using a simple API. Users could vote on which passwords are the strongest. The wisdom of crowds would lead us to…

reverse DNS points to 208.185.168.22.zipmath.com Also hosted on the same IP: http://cracks.n.hax.com/ and http://portcode.com/

This is probably a stupid question, but how did you find out what other sites were hosted at that IP address? Are you reliant on search engine data, or is there some other way of doing it?

I used http://www.paterva.com/maltego/ to do it. I have no idea where the data comes from.
