Does such a wiki exist? > If so, where can I find it? Years ago, there was a popular place called "The hidden wiki" which was the only one in existence, that anyone knew about. It was then beseiged by child porn links and images and went away. Since then, many different services claiming to be "the hidden wiki" have come and gone. Someone also tried to setup a google search appliance to crawl all of .onion space. It didn't get very far for the obvious reason of most hidden service sites don't want to be found by the general population. The services don't link to each other, and they may be on random ports. It's possible one could create a search engine that crawls every possible .onion hostname on common tcp ports (80, 443, 8080, 8443). Over long periods of time, this may find many hidden services. -- Andrew pgp 0x74ED336B *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
