In an apparently accidental disclosure on Monday, North Korea revealed a list of websites which can be accessed by people who have the advantage of Internet in the secretive country.

North Korea’s accidental opening of access -- at around 10 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday -- to all the websites hosted on its servers revealed that the country has only 28 registered domains.

The accidental disclosure about the websites available for access in North Korea was the result of a misconfiguration of the country’s nameserver, which contains information about all of the ‘.kp’ websites, with ‘.kp’ being the country code associated with North Korea.

As a result of North Korea’s misconfigured nameserver, a security engineer named Matt Bryant managed to gain access to the domain names registered in the country, while working for a GitHub project which seeks the services of security engineers for continuously querying different parts of the Internet and, subsequently, posting the results.

The list of 28 North Korean websites discovered by Bryant was posted on GitHub on Tuesday. The list contains a mix of news, propaganda, and education wesites; with a flight booking site called Air Koryo, and supposedly a kind of social network called Friend. One North Korean website which has always been accessible outside of the country is the state-run propaganda site --- the Korean Central News Agency.
