About safemode.org
Safemode.org was founded by me, zillion, in 1998 and started with the mirroring of defacements in the winter of 1999. Inspired by the work of great web sites such as Dutchthreat.nl and Attrition.org I started to mirror web site defacements with only 300 very expensive megs of space of which I ran out at the beginning of 2000. At that time Mystakill offered me dedicated hosting on a system which was connected trough an DSL line. I took this generous offer and the web site was hosted on that box for quite some time. Together with mystakill we went trough a lot of shit ;/. We have had a hard disk crash, DDoS attacks, a lot ISP trouble due to tons of abuse mails and where eventually kicked from one ISP. After being hosted by Mystakill, safemode.org was kindly hosted on a system provided via Alan from packetstormsecurity.org. Recently, the system has been shutdown and the site is currently hosted in the basement of h0bbes.
Now you must be wondering.. started in the winter of 1999 ? where is the rest of the archive ? well as already said we have had a disk crash in the early beginnings of the web site and by then backups where not regularly made due to disk shortage. There are quite some other holes in the archive all cause by connectivity problems and system screw ups, heh ;-). Having these holes kinda sucks but you must realize that this mirror is mostly created by one person.
Our mirror should be used as an eye opener to show the people that the internet is not as save as your free provider is claiming. Even the biggest companies and best security web sites do get hacked and often trough method that could have been prevented. One must know that the biggest amount of web sites mirrored on our server where compromised trough known security holes with public exploits.
