Out of all the countries in the world, North Korea is one of the more mysterious ones. With the North Korean government being religious in their attempt, very little information is known about the country as a whole. Unfortunately for the country, someone in their tech department has made an error with the DNS, and this has resulted in GitHub users being able to dig out websites that are registered to North Korea.
Yesterday, GitHub users are able to use the accidental DNS leak to dig out websites that uses the .kp domain. What GitHub found is an interesting one, with 28 websites registered under the .kp domain. Most of them websites hosted on .kp are fairly regular stuff, with some of the websites being a recipe website, a Facebook-like social website, and some news websites. Needless to say, this leak gives many a fascinating insight into the state of North Korea’s internet.
If you’re interested, a list of the 28 websites can be found in this reddit thread. Do note that some websites appears to be inaccessible right now either because the North Korean government has made it so that foreign IPs are blocked from accessing it, or because the sheer amount of people trying to access said websites has overloaded the North Korean servers.
