About the Archive
An open, mirror-backed registry of website defacement incidents — maintained for security research, attribution study and historical preservation.
A defacement is a signal — a misconfigured server, a forgotten patch, a default password that should have been changed. We believe the signal should be preserved, attributed honestly, and studied. That is how the surface gets safer.
We are not a marketplace, not a trophy case, not a drama board. We are an archive. The principles below are non-negotiable.

Preserve, don't profit
Every incident is mirror-snapshotted and timestamped. The record exists for history, not for sale.
Attributable, not doxxed
We attribute work to a handle. We never publish real identities, contact info, or personal data.
Anonymous by relay
Submissions route through an anonymous relay. Submission metadata is stripped before archiving.
Ethics reviewed
Maintainers review disclosure ethics. Dumped databases, credentials and personal data are refused.
Open to researchers
Any security researcher can claim their work. Ranks are earned by verified incidents, not bought.
Verifiable signatures
Each archived incident carries a deterministic signature so the record can be audited later.
