The sub or it's owner doesn't say anything about it other than it's just a test sub. I just wonder if that's really what it is?
From what I gather, it's ran by a guy in Germany who specializes in various computer sciences and I believe he is very well read. His website shows he a very capable programmer with interests in privacy, cryptology, and circumvention of sophisticated network attacks. The sub is supposedly a test sub ran by bots that seemingly post random material.
On the subreddit, there are various bots that post a myriad of things. Some apparently random, some appear to have bits of onion links, bitcoin wallet addresses and at times pieces of code in various languages such as Python, C and even Prolog (maybe?)
All posts by the bots are followed by another that replies with several words as an alliteration as well as what appears to be Morse code and binary sequences that don't offer much but similar alliteration and technical computer terms.
One post in particular I happened to dig into was posting pieces of an NSA Maintenance Guide to their early classified computer systems named ABNER II. One also appeared to have pieces of a Russian guide into TCP hijacking.
It frequently posts in Russian as well as English.
I know Reddit is host to it's fair share of strange subreddits and many are just jokes to keep people digging for nothing.. But this appears to be more than that. Does anyone have any insight to offer?
