Dear billiard friends,

Today I am launching a website I have been working on for some time. It’s called “Carompedia”, and that name should be self-explanatory. Basically, it’s an archive with tournament results and pictures. You can look things up, find your favorite players, relive events you have attended or maybe even played in.

On the site, you will find most of the international tournaments played since 1986, when our sport professionalized. The world championships and world cups are all there, as well as the important invitationals, such as the LG+ Cup, Agipi, the LBM and Crystal Kelly. There are fairly large sections with results from the Low Countries and the U.S.A.

I intend to expand this site in the future, hopefully with some help from billiard fans in countries I have only limited records of.

Carompedia is a free service, there is no subscription fee or charge.

I hope you will have fun browsing. There is a “contact” button to ask questions or let me know what you think.

https://www.carompedia.com

Best regards,
Bert van Manen

Awesome work on the site! And THANK YOU for defaulting to encrypted/httpS for the page load.

Somehow, Kozoom.com, an e-commerce site that processes credit cards, can't figure that out in 2019.

No idea how that's compliant with all the new GDPR privacy regulations over there, but hey there you go ... ...

The Kozoom store area uses https.

Not debating the lack of https for main site, but can understand it given that the two sites are actually different systems. I am just pointing out that the money side is encrypted.

Fair enough. And I obviously haven't tested the site because they haven't paid me to do so, but even the parts of the site that aren't the commerce/store use HTTPS for some requests and not others, meaning there's the potential that cookies, auth tokens, etc. can be sent in plaintext for HTTP requests for things like CSS, javascript, etc.

The danger there is that if that vulnerability exists in the non-store, this misuse of HTTP/S could carry over into the store area.

The simplest way to explain it is like when you're looking at a used car and you find a bad Bondo patch job on the outside - at that point there's NO telling what's on the inside.

You COULD hope for the best, but it's usually best to trust what you've seen up to that point. I highly doubt Kozoom had some bada$$, legit developers and security engineers build the store part of the site, but not the rest of it.
