So, what do you think this crawler did?
Unfortunately, the hardcore sites are/were advertised on one of the 20+ hidden wikis which exist at any time. The press and police only seem to find these sites and assume everything is just this set. There are seriously 20+ hidden wikis, each one claiming to be the original/canonical wiki. Given the resources of a national police force, it seems probable they can create a crawler to simply crawl every permutation of hidden service addresses on port 80 alone. Of course, it's easier to crawl the 20+ hidden wikis and go from there. -- Andrew pgp 0x6B4D6475 https://www.torproject.org/ +1-781-948-1982 -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
