Bit-squatting - laugh and forget

A couple of days ago, on Habré there was an article that threatened us with a new, if not apocalypse, then at least a disaster comparable to the Focus.

I hasten to disappoint all lovers of cyberpunk, but the end of the world is again canceled.

After reading the article, and laughing, I decided to conduct an experiment, since the domain is cheap.

To my regret, it didn’t work for me to get a domain in one bit from facebook.com or google.com, since the vile bit squatters have already taken everything.

I took the domain vkon4akte.ru , which is 1 bit different from the address of the popular social network vkontakte.ru ("t" - 0 1 110100, "4" - 0 0 110100). Quickly tied it to the server and set J. Metric.

Vkontakte attendance is 25 million unique per day, and 2.5 billion page views.

Attention quiz! The first one who guesses how many requests out of 25,000,000 (home) have problems with "turning a bit" will get nothing.

And this award is well deserved, because there’s really nothing to guess about, except for me, no one went to the site.

Perhaps the Bit-squatting effect is observed only in conjunction with the Microsoft domain (as the author of the first article), I do not presume to say - more research is needed (tell me where they give grants for this).

The probability of "turning a bit" , respectively, can be considered lower than 1/25 000 000.

It is much more likely that the user will kill the toilet seat falling from orbit than he gets to the reversing site and download the virus instead of updating.
