S1 · Paratext — Read what the site leaks

A well-run site speaks outside its pages: in HTTP headers, comments, robots.txt, security.txt. First lesson of the trade: read a privacy vendor’s own site the way an adversary would — the paratext first.

Our HTTP responses carry a memorial. Fetch the headers and look for it. It follows a tradition born in a novel about a message-relay network ("a man is not dead while his name is still spoken"). Name the person that tradition honours.

Run this:

curl -sI https://onsecret.net/ | grep -i clacks
