Looking at the source, this seems to be an RDP client written in Javascript (and if the HN effect of mass clicks passes, I guess they hooked up a Windows server on the other side).
Not sure if HN has already crashed their site, or if the site is just broken.
"Gateway: Unable to connect to host."
"Gateway: Unable to connect to host."
If anybody has been able to connect, could you summarize what this is?
Remote RDP, Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter 64bit with 15 GB RAM in “kiosk” mode. But you can easily run almost anything there, system is very badly secured.
Pretty amazing. The whole document is canvas and Javascript. It doesn't need any third party plugins like Java.
