About Store and Forward

Store and Forward (safwire.net) investigates the technical and human layers of internet infrastructure. We examine the systems that manage domain names, establish digital trust, and secure connections across the web - DNS hierarchies, namespace boundaries, certificate authorities, and the protocols that hold it all together.

Our focus is on what happens when these systems are exploited, misconfigured, abandoned, or deliberately manipulated. We explore the overlooked corners where technical architecture meets real-world consequences.

The internet’s most interesting stories aren’t always on the surface. They’re in the gaps between systems, in the technical debt of volunteer-maintained projects, in the public records that reveal patterns of exploitation. We’re here to document them.
