New Website Redesign Broke RSS Feeds

[mattdep]

The RSS feed no longer works correctly and points to the old location vs the new.

This would also affect all existing links out there to specific diaries, aka Link Rot What would really help across the board is a redirection piece that accepts the old URL and redirects it to the new.
This is something we've done on the Micro Focus Community as they were migrated together to make it seamless for all.

I'm specifically talking about newly published diary entries and not link rot. The links in the RSS file point to the old location.

RSS File: https://isc.sans.edu/rssfeed.xml

Today's diary post titled "Excel 4 Emotet Maldoc Analysis using CyberChef, (Sun, Jul 10th)" points to: https://isc.sans.edu/diary/rss/28830

The correct location is: https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Excel+4+Emotet+Maldoc+Analysis+using+CyberChef/28830/

Hope that helps.

It appears the "Handler's Diary (Full text)" feed is affected as well:

Since it isn't just new links that don't work, but also the old ones that many will have used in their own blogs, documentation, saved links, etc. Link Rot is a related part of the problem that might point to a more comprehensive fix.

Just a few of my saved links that are no longer working that shows this isn't just the RSS feed that is still feeding the old format

so how am I going to figure out the replacement links now? Google isn't going to help on this.

A whole pile of useful information has now disappeared from the internet with this lack of a redirect for old links that parts of the site is still using as well. Proper redirects solve both symptoms of this problem.

made a first fix live. still need to fully validate it. (there may still be some caching happening)

So much better, that did the trick The only related broken link I have is Ouch! no longer being at securingthehuman.sans.org but I found its new home at www.sans.org/newsletters/ouch/ and I am updating my links accordingly.

Both issues appear to be resolved. Thank you!
