astalavista.box.sk was one of the first search engines for computer security related information started in 1994. In practice it turned out to be used as search engine for security exploits, software for usage in hacking and cracking and different keygenerators and software cracks. The site is also known for referencing things like spyware and viruses, because of this the website is known to possibly contain data, links, downloadable files, and information some users would consider spyware, adware, or other unwanted programs. [1] Astalavista.box.sk is based in Slovakia, or at least hosted there.
Astalavista is also used to refer to other computer security related websites like the Astalavista Security Group.
Astalavista is a pun on the search engine Altavista and the phrase said by The Terminator: "Hasta la vista, baby" (meaning "see you later, baby" in Spanish).
