0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Dropspoil.com is a specialized online database dedicated to providing comprehensive drop and spoil information for the classic Lineage 2 MMORPG, covering chronicles from C1 to High Five. It serves a niche audience of classic server players and nostalgic gamers seeking detailed and accurate game data. The website operates primarily as an informational resource supported by advertising revenue, with no direct commercial transactions evident. Technically, the site employs standard web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Google Fonts, Google Adsense, and Google Analytics. It features a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, ensuring user privacy preferences are respected. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain (likely a subdomain) and lack of security headers indicate areas for improvement in security posture. Overall, the site provides good content quality and user experience but could enhance trust and security by adding explicit contact details, security policies, and technical safeguards.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website occupies a niche market segment focused on classic Lineage 2 players, offering a valuable service by aggregating and presenting detailed game data such as NPC drops, item locations, and spoil chances. Its business model relies on advertising networks and tracking services, as evidenced by multiple ad partners and consent management. The site has been operational since 2007, indicating longevity and community trust within its target audience. However, the lack of formal company information, certifications, or extensive contact details suggests a small-scale operation. The extensive use of third-party ad and tracking services reflects a monetization strategy common in free-to-access gaming databases. Strategic partnerships or expansions into related gaming services could enhance market position.

Security posture

Security maturity is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner aligned with GDPR requirements, demonstrating awareness of privacy compliance. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The extensive use of third-party ad and tracking scripts introduces potential risks if not regularly audited. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Enhancing security headers, providing incident response contacts, and auditing third-party scripts would improve the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file with incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the contact page to enhance business credibility.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks to minimize security risks from external content.
  5. Improve accessibility features and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a traditional web stack using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with Google Fonts for typography and Google Adsense for monetization. It includes a cookie consent mechanism implemented via JavaScript, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The site loads multiple external scripts from advertising and tracking domains, which may impact performance and privacy. No modern web frameworks or CMS platforms were detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and structured content. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve security configurations, and optimize third-party script usage.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
