Oh dear god. I can only hope this is an attempt to crack idiots servers, rather than a serious service. I love the "it's your responsibility to secure your key in transit" disclaimer.
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 the better security!
Man I need a cup of coffee to get going on this. No, wait, I've had 6 cups already...
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?
Domaintools shows they have 'private registration' and a established SSL cert even though they're not using one and on the site claim they're 'getting one soon'
Come on - if you are smart enough to know how to use ssh keys then you are too technically smart to fall for this. Grandma is not going to have her server hacked because she tried this. It's gotta be a joke.
On To Do page:
buy a SSL certificate or self-sign so key transfer is not in the clear
Haha. I don't think the idea (if this is not a scam/joke) has merit because even if you forget your SSH passphrase, you have access to the server via a root password (stored somewhere safely in a fireproof-safe; and even if not physical access at worst). So the traditional key escrow should not be necessary.
This is funny. Reminds me of the chap who wondered on an online forum about how to hack his school's server, and forthwith acted upon the advice from the forum to send a "ping of death" to the i.p. address "127.0.0.1"! :-) Could just be an urban legend, but still amusing!
Oh, it's common enough, though it's usually easier to get them with something like 127.4.132.17.
Well, or warez.<domain> - there's a long tradition of A-ing that to 127.0.0.1, I use warez.trout.me.uk as a cloak on IRC and there've been a couple times idiots have tried to flood me off the net with predictable results ...
