What is hacke.rs?

I'm not inclined to think the site is anything of interest. Google appears to know nothing about it (which includes if anybody had brought up the name on a forum elsewhere or something) and it's https port heads to a simple "It works!" slogan (which is the default for a empty apache2 server) which leads me to think the site is just a server nobody has bothered to really do anything with, and has hence the user just locked down port 80 with a password to avoid having a website he may be working on exploited or viewed before its released.

Some points of interest may be, however, that port 443 (https) on hacke.rs identifies itself as a completely different website (b.simpledot.net), and that both of those servers are running a bug tracking system on port 8080.

May I ask why your so interested in this site? I mean, there are plenty of sites out there requiring authentication on port 80, why is this one special?

The name got me - seemed far too elaborate to have a name like that and have nothing of value behind it.

I was thinking it was either an invite only site or a hidden website that only allows access to those who can penetrate the security.

I doubt it, alot of people take domain names just cause its a cool domain name to have, not because they are forming a secret community of elite hackers. If the admin had a server that had a dynamic IP, then if he wanted to connect to his server, he would most likely want a domain name. So if he couldn't think of something, why not name it something cool?
