Mohammad,

just heard from a contact at HBGary, where Jamie and Greg work. Apparently they are moving the server from one data center to another and it is currently at Greg's house, waiting for him to drive it there. I guess we just need to be patient....


Yeah, I'm not good at that either...

Site is back up.

Per the front Site Transfer article:

We recently moved the hosting location for rootkit.com to downtown Sacremento. Thanks to Crusader for an awesome packing job and mailing it down from Spokane. Greg was the hold-up - the machine sat for almost two weeks on Greg's office floor. Sorry for the downtime. To mix things up we changed the default skin - we have had the white background for three years now. If you want the old look you can get it back from the skin menu at the bottom of the page. This new skin is a slight variation of the original background used on the BBS system in 90's and is a minor tribute. Otherwise everything should be the same as it was when Jussi shutdown the system from Finland a few weeks ago."
