astalavista was the security search engine (or portal-like website).

AltaVista was a Google competitor, IIRC.

AltaVista was the search engine of the internet, way before Google.

Developed by Digital to showcase the power of their CPU the DEC Alpha IIRC...

I never knew about astalavista. Thanks for sharing!
