CIA 2010 covert communication websites Expired domain trackers by
Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
When you Google most of the hit domains, many of them show up on "expired domain trackers", and above all Chinese expired domain trackers for some reason, notably e.g.:This suggests that scraping these lists might be a good starting point to obtaining "all expired domains ever".
- hupo.com: e.g. static.hupo.com/expdomain_myadmin/2012-03-06(国际域名).txt. Heavily IP throttled. Tor hindered more than helped.Scraping script: ../cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/hupo.sh. Scraping does about 1 day every 5 minutes relatively reliably, so about 36 hours / year. Not bad.Results are stored under
tmp/humo/<day>
.Check for hit overlap:The hits are very well distributed amongst days and months, at least they did a good job hiding these potential timing fingerprints. This feels very deliberately designed.grep -Fx -f <( jq -r '.[].host' ../media/cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/hits.json ) cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/tmp/hupo/*
There are lots of hits. The data set is very inclusive. Also we understand that it must have been obtains through means other than Web crawling, since it contains so many of the hits.Some of their files are simply missing however unfortunately, e.g. neither of the following exist:webmasterhome.cn did contain that one however: domain.webmasterhome.cn/com/2012-07-01.asp. Hmm. we might have better luck over there then?2018-11-19 is corrupt in a new and wonderful way, with a bunch of trailing zeros:ends in:wget -O hupo-2018-11-19 'http://static.hupo.com/expdomain_myadmin/2018-11-19%EF%BC%88%E5%9B%BD%E9%99%85%E5%9F%9F%E5%90%8D%EF%BC%89.txt hd hupo-2018-11-19
000ffff0 74 75 64 69 65 73 2e 63 6f 6d 0d 0a 70 31 63 6f |tudies.com..p1co| 00100000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 0018a5e0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.........|
More generally, several files contain invalid domain names with non-ASCII characters, e.g. 2013-01-02 contains365<D3>л<FA><C2><CC>.com
. Domain names can only contain ASCII charters: stackoverflow.com/questions/1133424/what-are-the-valid-characters-that-can-show-up-in-a-url-host Maybe we should get rid of any such lines as noise.Some files around 2011-09-06 start with an empty line. 2014-01-15 starts with about twenty empty lines. Oh and that last one also has some trash bytes the end<B7><B5><BB><D8>
. Beauty. - webmasterhome.cn: e.g. domain.webmasterhome.cn/com/2012-03-06.asp. Appears to contain the exact same data as "static.hupo.com"Also has some randomly missing dates like hupo.com, though different missing ones from hupo, so they complement each other nicely.Some of the URLs are broken and don't inform that with HTTP status code, they just replace the results with some Chinese text 无法找到该页 (The requested page could not be found):Several URLs just return length 0 content, e.g.:It is not fully clear if this is a throttling mechanism, or if the data is just missing entirely.
curl -vvv http://domain.webmasterhome.cn/com/2015-10-31.asp * Trying 125.90.93.11:80... * Connected to domain.webmasterhome.cn (125.90.93.11) port 80 (#0) > GET /com/2015-10-31.asp HTTP/1.1 > Host: domain.webmasterhome.cn > User-Agent: curl/7.88.1 > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2023 15:12:23 GMT < Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 < X-Powered-By: ASP.NET < Content-Length: 0 < Content-Type: text/html < Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDCSTTTBAD=BGGPAONBOFKMMFIPMOGGHLMJ; path=/ < Cache-control: private < * Connection #0 to host domain.webmasterhome.cn left intact
Starting around 2018, the IP limiting became very intense, 30 mins / 1 hour per URL, so we just gave up. Therefore, data from 2018 onwards does not contain webmasterhome.cn data.Starting from2013-05-10
the format changes randomly. This also shows us that they just have all the HTML pages as static files on their server. E.g. with:we see:grep -a '<pre' * | s
2013-05-09:<pre style='font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; '><strong>2013<C4><EA>05<D4><C2>09<C8>յ<BD><C6>ڹ<FA><BC><CA><D3><F2><C3><FB></strong><br>0-3y.com 2013-05-10:<pre><strong>2013<C4><EA>05<D4><C2>10<C8>յ<BD><C6>ڹ<FA><BC><CA><D3><F2><C3><FB></strong>
- justdropped.com: e.g. www.justdropped.com/drops/010112com.html. First known working day:
2006-01-01
. Unthrottled. - yoid.com: e.g.: yoid.com/bydate.php?d=2016-06-03&a=a. First known workding day:
2016-06-01
.
Data comparison:
- 2012-01-01Looking only at the
.com
:The lists are quite similar however.- webmastercn has just about ten extra ones than justdropped, the rest is exactly the same
- justdropped has some extra and some missing from hupo
We've made the following pipelines for hupo.com + webmasterhome.cn merging:
./hupo.sh &
./webmastercn.sh &
./justdropped.sh &
wait
./justdropped-post.sh
./hupo-merge.sh
# Export as small Google indexable files in a Git repository.
./hupo-repo.sh
# Export as per year zips for Internet Archive.
./hupo-zip.sh
# Obtain count statistics:
./hupo-wc.sh
Count unique domains in the repos:
( echo */*/*/* | xargs cat ) | sort -u | wc
The extracted data is present at:Soon after uploading, these repos started getting some interesting traffic, presumably started by security trackers going "bling bling" on certain malicious domain names in their databases:

Check for overlap of the merge:
grep -Fx -f <( jq -r '.[].host' ../media/cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/hits.json ) cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/tmp/merge/*
Next, we can start searching by keyword with Wayback Machine CDX scanning with Tor parallelization with out helper ../cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/hupo-cdx-tor.sh, e.g. to check domains that contain the term "news":produces per-year results for the regex term OK lets:
./hupo-cdx-tor.sh mydir 'news|global' 2011 2019
news|global
between the years under:tmp/hupo-cdx-tor/mydir/2011
tmp/hupo-cdx-tor/mydir/2012
./hupo-cdx-tor.sh out 'news|headline|internationali|mondo|mundo|mondi|iran|today'
Other searches that are not dense enough for our patience:
world|global|[^.]info
OMG and a few more. It's amazing.

This is a good company, first they truly helped reduce international transfer fees. They they continued to morph into a decent challenger bank.
Their Wise Interest account was amazing as of late 2023: wise.com/gb/interest/
Brick and mortar banks were way way behind in that regard!
E.g. October 2023, Wise was doing 4.87% interest after fees, while Barclay's best option was 1.16% above 5k pounds on the Rainy Day Saver (5% below). Ridiculous!
The Israeli occupation is obscene.
The only reason the UN doesn't do anything is that other countries can't be bothered to send people to fight Israel and die there.
And the outcome of this is fundamentalism and indirect deaths elsewhere.

The paper that follows it in the journal is also of interest, "Theoretical Considerations Concerning Quantized Magnetic Flux In Superconducting Cylinders" by N. Byers and C. N. Yang, it starts:So there was some previous confusion about the flux quantum due to the presence of Cooper pairs or not.
In a recent experiment, the magnetic flux through a superconducting ring has been found to be quantized in units of ch/2e. Quantization in twice this unit has been briefly discussed by London' and by Onsager. ' Onsager' has also considered the possibility of quantization in units ch/2e due to pairs of electrons forming quasi-bosons.
Dumping the fitures at: archive.org/details/experimental-evidence-for-quantized-flux-in-superconducting-cylinders One day we can also dump the paper scans when it goes into the public domain in 2056! Public domain scientific paper by year.

The open circles are individual data points. The solid circles represent th, e average value of all data points at a particular value of applied field including all the points plotted and additional data which could not be plotted due to severe overlapping of points. Approximately two hundred data points are represented. The lines are drawn at multiples of hc/2e.(Lower) Net flux in cylinder No. 1 before turning off the applied field in which it was cooled as a function of the applied field. Open and solid circles have the same significance as above. The lower line is the diamagnetic calibration to which all runs have been normalized. The other lines are translated vertically by successive steps of hc/2e.
