@dam ok this is beautiful

@dam oh my god, you've done it, the e164.arpa domain

@dam what the fuck (affectionately). How.

@dam HELL YEAH!! we wanted to do it but didn't find registrar that would delegate us anything

this fucks! great job!

@dam@0.9.2.e164.arpa to think i could have done this years ago but we were like "hm we don't want to get in trouble with an entire country what if they hate us for it"

lmao good job

@dam wait... do you control the corresponding pool of phone number, or dis the registrar just delegate you that domain because "why not" ?

@domi@donotsta.re @dam@0.9.2.e164.arpa realistically-speaking how far would you be able to reach with such a thing without getting in trouble lol

@dam welcome!

@nay @dam idk, https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa has been up for almost 4 months, my ISP (xoxo bgp.wtf) knows and doesn't mind. no word from anyone higher, so either unnoticed or they don't care too

@domi@donotsta.re @dam@0.9.2.e164.arpa i mean with ip6.arpa it's not exactly unexpected; that's your own resources anyway for all what it matters. but *.e164.arpa is a country's specific resource you should not have access to

@nay yeah no clue here i'm still wondering how @dam did it, i'd love a writeup

@domi@donotsta.re @dam@0.9.2.e164.arpa at my group we also have a e164.arpa subdomain. it's part of the E.164 standard. thing is, some countries have let the DNS servers' domains expire because it's not really used these days... and nothing's stopping you from snatching them and serving your own.

@domi@donotsta.re @dam@0.9.2.e164.arpa in the case of 0.9.2.e164.arpa it's pointing at ns.enum.org.uk and ns6.icb.co.uk... enum.org.uk was expired and @dam@0.9.2.e164.arpa snatched it. ns6.icb.co.uk doesn't resolve at all. you can guess what happened next.

(actually we had that domain too, i guess we let it expire accidentally, oops)

@nay @dam oh my gosh. this hack is GREAT

@dam what kind of witchcraft is this

@nay@mice.tel @domi@donotsta.re @dam@0.9.2.e164.arpa you wouldn't steal a nameserver

@domi@donotsta.re @dam@0.9.2.e164.arpa and it still works because nobody has done anything about it... we snatched all the domains we found back then to prevent someone from abusing it, and notified those we could about it back in 2022 to start revocation processes etc. if needed. yet here we are.

I'm glad it's being used for shitposts since it still works though
