bros and hoes

If you haven’t guessed already, this’ll be covering lhohq.info. It’s one hell of a rabbit hole, and notably a dangerous one at that. So far the site seems to be a giant art project but no one can say for certain. Some have speculated it could be an ARG as well.

To navigate safely, you’ll for sure need antivirus software. More importantly Don’t Download Anything. There is a suspected Trojan that may or may not be somewhere in the site, based off of digging into the site’s IP address and finding lhohq being connected to a google drive with malware in said drive. ((source) smoking tw)

A few have claimed (without supporting evidence) that there had been CP and snuff related images, yet nothing of the sort has yet to be found. This entire thing has been around since 2007, and I’m confident that everything would’ve been taken down by now if this were true. Not even something like WorldCorp lasted that long, so this also goes against such claims. Either way, be cautious.

It also goes without saying, Don’t be the idiot that tries to use any of the emails, phone numbers, contacts, etc. If you want to be extra safe, some usually use a different browser than google

With that out of the way let’s dig in.

-------

There’s the lhohq domain, and a connected domain acdca. They stand for Laughing Horse’s Orifice Headquarters, and Applied Chaos Dynamics Controls Association respectively. The list of all the subdomains so far can be found on reddit. If a subdomain doesn’t work, it can still be accessed through the wayback machine

Speaking of the wayback machine, past versions of the site, especially the main page, can be accessed through the machine as well. This is particularly important as there is text hidden in the sites that can be found through either viewing the page source or inspecting the page. It is also noted that some parts of the website still work, even when no longer linked to by anything (For example lhohq.info/terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.html even though it could only be found Dec 28, 2021 through the main page) Much hasn’t been explored yet

In terms of less ‘techy stuff’ there’s still plenty more to find. If you like reading crackhead theories like psycops, pizzagate, aliens, etc. there’s tons upon tons of articles that have been archived. To make things easier, here is a site map for the archived articles. All of the pages listed in the map are sfw, but again, don’t download anything incase of the Trojan.

Speaking of sfw and generally safe places to go, here’s a list of links I’ve checked out myself so far. As long as you don’t download anything, you should be fine:

[ appliedchaosdynamicscontrolassociation.net/ --- resources, statisticallyuniformgradientofimprecision, 10tothe10tothe118th, thefireisillumination, exemplar-fragmentorum, subproject119, ]

orifice.lhohq.info/

in-numeris-artem.lhohq.info/

If you want to get ballsy and feel like downloading stuff anyway, regardless of my warning, you might find something with the mp3s in the acdca subdomain, octagon - justin-bieber.html, or octagon - francais_institut_octroyer.html . No one’s seemed to do a scan to find any hidden images or messages yet if you’re willing to give it a shot

Also, make sure that if you’re typing in something after lhohq.info/ that you’re spelling it correctly. Otherwise you’ll get an AI generated page. In fact if you type something like http://lhohq.info/sussus you’ll get a random page. Even a keysmash works. The background will be either a flashing snake cross, lesbian bird, or some eagle circle symbol, and sometimes it will flash rapidly without warning. Hence you’re better off trying to find something through the links than by trying to type up stuff and hope you find something interesting. There’s more about the AI here

Btw, if you use the site map for lhohq, it won’t show all of the pages. This is partially due to the fact that 1) it won’t list connections to sub domains 2) there’s technically a near infinite amount of pages thanks to the AI, and 3) if pageX doesn’t link to pageY anymore, pageY won’t show up on the map even if it still exists. The same goes for that one subdomain with the archived articles. This is why you won’t find octagon.lhohq.info/justin-bieber.html even though it exists.

It is noted that when it comes to hidden pages, if you wait 30 seconds on octagon.lhohq.info, you’ll be automatically redirected to the page with the dancing girl. It is unknown if there are other pages that will do the same if you wait long enough

Small little thing I’ve found out, there was a site called synt.us that used to be related to LHOHQ, however, the current site isn’t. If you use the way back machine, and go to date June 27, 2017 through October 6, 2016, you can find the original pages that used to be there

That’s all the information I’ve managed to collect through youtube, reddit, and of course the site itself. I’m currently making a site map on popplet that shows every single page on the sites and when said link could be accessed, but it’s going to take a couple of months due to the size + college to get it somewhat finished. When it is, I’ll be sure to reblog this with the finished site map.
