I'm giving a talk at @passthesaltcon on Thursday next week, where I will show the weird things I find on @lookyloo.

I'm gathering a fresh batch of fun/terrible sites that mostly exist to take your money and/or sell your private information, and life is rough out there. As bad as it is in Europe, you should know that it is So Much Worse anywhere else in the world.

The Even Darker Web - Dirty tricks and questionable code choices on some of the world's largest websites. PTS2025

The talk will cover the three categories of websites we encounter: 1. Phishing and scams: make a quick crime buck. 1. Tracking on legitimate websites: build a user profile over time without getting sued to oblivion 3. WAT: probably AI generated and trying to sell you the memecoin of the day We will go through a few remarkable examples captures on Lookyloo, explain what weird or crazy thing happened from the instant the URL starts to load all the way to when the page is rendered. We'll also look at the data gathered along the way, and search in the existing dataset for similar captures.
