Prompted me to do a little experimentation with google query parameters. Some potentially concerning stuff out there...

This one seems offline, but a typical example:

ftp://asapdata.arc.nasa.gov/incoming/BOB/HyspIRI/data-bob/00_README.MASTERweb_updating.txt

  3. Login to MASTER database:

"user * password *" site:nasa.gov filetype:txt
And I just stumbled upon this:

But that's pretty bad!

Maybe it's on their intranet? It doesn't seem to be accessible.
Nevermind, just got to it :P.
Are you sure that's a good idea? This seems to be something to do with flight paths and the Ames research centre...
Didn't log in. Don't want to. Just wanted to see if the URL returned anything.
Seems like it's working to me, what do you mean by offline?
And all of a sudden the FBI has a lot of IP addresses to follow-up...
I should note that I did alert the sysadmin and he told me he was taking it down and would figure out how to secure it.
