Although it's been a while since I've done anything in Django, seeing this still gives me a warm feeling.

it may be a honeypot. I sometimes set up a bogus form under /admin/ which logs attempts. adrian holovaty on the other hand, redirects /admin/ to django docs http://www.holovaty.com/writing/admin-easter-egg/

Given that they don't seem to have any automatic tests or similar for their APIs (check out their Google group and you'll see that stuff have been broken for a long time for all users without attention. When stuff has been broken in the past, Instagram people will ask "is this still a problem?", like they have no way of checking their own APIs...), I wouldn't expect them to be that crafty.

Pinterest and Instagram are both using Django. Then again, when you are scale like these sites, you start to build new architecture around existing stuff. Reference: http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/4/15/scaling-pinterest-...

How do you mask your admin portal when you are small enough that you dont have an intranet. Someone on hacker news pointed out to me about my admin portal being open but I never understood how to mask it. http://www.truffle.io/admin/ Any suggestions?
