I recall that subdomains are their own record inside a DNS, which would imply that anyone can claim that their server is a non-existent subdomain of the real domain

    They’d need a certificate authority to issue the certificate, and the victim’s browser would have to trust that authority.

      I’ve been able to downgrade https sites to plain http sites, through a series of loopholes which I won’t go into.

          My own security? Hah, that’s a joke right?

          Everything on the Internet Archive can be accessed via simple http, even if the original archived site was https.

            All that does is allow someone in the middle to potentially read your traffic. So what’s secret about the traffic between you and the Internet archive? If it’s only your login details, that seems like a you problem.

            It wasn’t long ago that most of the internet was http only.
