Description

If I visit https://plugins.hex-rays.com/, go to https://plugins.hex-rays.com/category/vulnerability-research-and-exploit-development, and then click on the rhabdomancer plugin (as an example), the page at https://plugins.hex-rays.com/0xdea/rhabdomancer/rhabdomancer is displayed, which contains up-to-date information on my plugin:
