Summary

Conservative fixes for verified broken links identified by the link checker:

  • Fixed URL format issues: bugprove.com www subdomain (DNS resolution failed)
  • Updated business transitions: pullrequest.com → hackerone.com/product/code (HackerOne Code)
  • Updated redirects: mega-linter → megalinter.io (proper redirect)
  • Removed broken pricing links: betterscan.io/pricing, oversecured.com/pricing (404 errors)
  • Removed broken resource links: smirnov-am.github.io (ENOTFOUND)
  • Marked deprecated: iverilog (TLS connection failed), chktex (socket hang up), TCA (minimal content per manual verification)

Verification Method

  • All URLs tested with WebFetch tool for accessibility
  • Manual verification of connection issues
  • Conservative approach: only fixed definitively broken links
  • Preserved potentially working URLs with temporary issues

Test Plan

  • Run README generation to ensure proper rendering
  • Verify deprecated tools display with warning icons instead of broken links
  • Confirm fixed URLs are accessible
  • Test that template rendering works correctly

Impact

Fixes link checker failures for 9 URLs across multiple tools while maintaining the integrity of working links.
