A similar site has been around for a long time: <a href="http://www.shadyurl.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.shadyurl.com/</a><p>example: google.com -> <a href="http://www.5z8.info/dogs-being-eaten_x2r3rq_5waystokillwithamelon" rel="nofollow">http://www.5z8.info/dogs-being-eaten_x2r3rq_5waystokillwitha...</a>
If I were trying to send someone to my nefarious website, I'd definitely now wrap the link in this, so that the savvy viewer would think it's a harmless verylegit.link...
Is there any way to get SSL error messages in Firefox?<p><a href="https://irc.verylegit.link/0x8c*download()194mobiads(windows8!downloader.sh.exe" rel="nofollow">https://irc.verylegit.link/0x8c*download()194mobiads(windows...</a> is supposed to redirect to Facebook, and it does if you use HTTP. However, over HTTPS Firefox just gives me a very generic "Secure Connection Failed" message. (Chrome is rather more helpful, giving me "ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED".)

Due to rapid advancement in dark ritual technology,
the programming community has streamlined the
Development and deployment of unspeakable
eldritch horrors.
Using robust open-source libraries like a sack of
live geese, websites like this one can be
developed with far more efficient sacrificial
rituals than ever before.
We're still stuck on the version with
really inefficient sacrifical rituals
though, due to comp͆aͭatib̊i̼͕l̈̿i̮̜t̚y̅ ͊i͋s̾s̢͈͠u̶e̛̊s̼̃.

Not that I'm in need for an URL shortener, but I really like the style it's "advertised" in :-)

I built this years ago when I made it up during an IM conversation with a friend and we realized it wasn't taken: <a href="http://shadydownloads.com/" rel="nofollow">http://shadydownloads.com/</a>
I've DNS blackholed the entire .link TLD, along with .science, .country, .click, and .rocks.<p>So, there's that.<p>(DNSMasq, router-based blocklist.)
This:<p><pre><code> secure.verylegit.link/warez737speedupurpc.gif.pdf

(example from site) doesn't look dodgy to me at all.<p>I'd have no qualms clicking on it, because my browser and I can handle suspicious websites. (Especially ones ending pdf.)<p>Something that would give pause would be:<p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/2ea2mu4?command=127.0.0.1/activate" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/2ea2mu4?command=127.0.0.1/activate</a><p>I would think...wait a minute... I probably wouldn't click this example.
