Devuan.org Now Points To 'Pwned' Page With Gopher URLs (devuan.org)
"DEVUAN.ORG HAS BEEN PWNED" reads a new message at the home page for Devuan (a fork of Debian without systemd) -- which re-redirects to a new page named pwned.html, reports Slashdot reader DevNull127:
In all capital letters, its carefully-indented message (complete with an ascii-art logo) now informs visitors that "the web sucks -- JavaScript sucks -- browsers suck." Posting the URLs to several gopher sites, it adds that "Gopher is the way -- gopher is the future."
"Kiss port 80 goodbye. Join the revolution on port 70."
The attackers identify themselves as "Green Hat Hackers," a term generally understood to mean ambitious newbie hackers who want to improve their skills. "Stop the madness," continues their message, which appeared just hours before the first day of April.
"Get yourself a gopher client."

Good joke. Some work was done...
Where can I find a good gopher client to joint the revolution? I'm looking for one that is free with lots of ads so I feel comfortable.

I just looked at the source for the page. It's static HTML with the ASCII art defacement poster enclosed in [pre] tags. There isn't any code there with which one could conceivably conduct an attack.
....when you realize that you prefer the Gopher version to the average modern website design. I hope they keep it past the 1st of April. It makes me feel younger.
It seems this actually hacked, and not an April Fool's joke. https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/...
