Not really security related, but fun anyway... I just got an email from someone at [EMAIL PROTECTED] telling me that pirk.com.cn is owned by them and they would be willing to sell it to me so I can take advantage of the emerging China market. A reply to that address and also to the MSN IM address [EMAIL PROTECTED] have not bounced yet, so maybe someone is really there.
If they registered my domain in the .cn TLD, how many others have they also done? Anyone have a good tool to query these things with? [quote] We have pirk.com.cn and found that the domain is pretty useful for you to explore China market. We can really consider selling it. If you are interested in it ,please reply to us and discuss the domain tranfer matters. We could finish the transaction through www.sedo.com which is a international Domain trade agency.You will be notified immediately if your offer is accepted. China is the biggest market in the world Dot.cn domains is mostly used in China 10,000,000 .cn domains are been registered At last,Sorry for the disturb if any. Wish you a happy new year 2008, and welcome to our China to visit Olympic Games.

The fact that is it beyond the 4 day "tasting period" and is still registered means that someone paid money for what I would consider a basically useless domain. I mean hey, it is my "fun" domain site. -- Steve Equal bytes for women. _______________________________________________ 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.
