shrturl.co is a new redirector/URL shortening service. With a difference. You can edit the pages you redirect to. I tried it out on my "home" page at http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm I created http://shrturl.co/YI3dG Or, if youu want to hide the fact that you are using the system, it conveniently uses bit.ly to create an alternate: http://bit.ly/TmImHM It seems to have some bugs in it. As you can see, I couldn't edit the first paragraph, and had problems with one immediately following a horizontal line. Just to confirm, and make sure that it wasn't limited to unknown URLs, I tried editting my entry at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Slade Compare with: http://shrturl.co/16X5e or http://bit.ly/Sgm7lG Apparently the editted URLs are only good for 48 hours, but that's ample time to get into trouble these days. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org In security, BYOD is coming to mean `Buy (back) Your Owned Data.' - rms victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
