Title: Internet Operations: An overview of wings and regions
Post by: Holding Pattern on September 11, 2015, 11:32:04 PM
The following information is available as a Maltego (https://www.paterva.com/web6/products/maltego.php) file attached to this post.

This is a very informal review that I plan on formalizing to hopefully give our IT and PAOs a better idea of the neglected state of our website infrastructure and layouts.

We currently have 8 cap regional sites. Of these sites:

5 are .gov sites
1 is a .com site
1 is a .us site
1 is a .org site

All .gov regional sites followed the naming convention of [RegionAbbreviation].cap.gov.
All but one .gov wing site followed the naming convention of [StateAbbreviation]wg.cap.gov.

2 google sites may have .gov domains but are misconfigured to display the google site path.

1 region actually has zero .gov domains.

One website is registered as [subdomain].usafaux.us. Perhaps it is just me, but all I see with that domain name when I look at it is USA Faux. Furthermore, the domain name itself doesn't actually have any content save a single image noting that it is "the future place of something cool".

Almost all of the .us sites were low enough on SEO to be below the first or second result of a google search using the following query: [state] civil air patrol

Several issues of varying technical levels were noted on multiple sites: These are/will be forwarded privately to the affected parties.

PAO note: While I saw a huge facebook push for the #totalforce banners, not one cap domain site I reviewed had that.
