Good on @PaulM for shutting it down. Hopefully nobody was able to do anything malicious.

@ws That's entirely the point - it's trivial to reproduce these results. My taking this index of them down doesn't fix the problem. :( -
@PaulM The scariest part was all the appliance stuff. -
@ws Yeah, I agree. That's also the hardest to fix.

@ifeelsick I'm honestly most surprised that there's still as much stuff in the "whoah that REALLY shouldn't be on the net" category. -
@PaulM surprised? Really!? :) -
@ifeelsick I kinda hoped someone else had already done this scan and sorted the problems out with the CERTs...
