A website hosted on the 1.0.0.0/8 subnet, somewhere on the Internet?

Background

I'm attempting to demonstrate, using a real-world example, of why someone would not want to configure their internal network on the 1.0.0.0/8 subnet. Obviously it's because this is not designated as private address space.

As of 2010, ARIN has apparently allocated 1.0.0.0/8 to APNIC (the Asia-Pacific NIC), who seems to have begun assigning addresses in that subnet, though not in 1.1.0.0/16, 1.0.0.0/16, and others (because these addresses are so polluted by bad network configurations all around the Internet).

My Question

My question is this: I'd like to find a website that responds on this subnet somewhere and use it as a counter-example, demonstrating to a non-technical user its inaccessibility from an internal network configured on 1.0.0.0/8. Other than writing a program to sniff all ~16 million hosts, looking for a response on port 80, does anyone know of a directory I can use, or even better yet, does anyone know of a site that's configured on this subnet?

WHOIS seems to be too general of a search for me at this point...


Solution 1:

whois -h whois.apnic.net -- "-T inetnum -m 1.0.0.0/8" | less

Just produced 10005 lines of output, which is the first-level allocations under that netblock. There are 566 allocations. A few are in Australia, so might yield English-language web-pages and so might have more of a psychological impact in your re-education efforts?

Solution 2:

I don't know of any live sites in this range, but you do not need a counterexample -- You need RFC 1918.

Print it (possibly several times) and use the hardcopy to bludgeon the person who wants to violate it until they understand the error of their ways.
