New sort of hidden provider domains and other news

V3 hidden solutions

With lots of people wanting to know why all the limited v2 concealed assistance domain names stopped functioning, we will try to explain this in this quick but comprehensive report.

So what does an .onion identify do?

It will permit you link to a hidden web page on the Tor community. But in order for that to function, the concealed internet site has to authenticate ownership of the hidden web sites area to the Tor network.

Now the dilemma with the short domain names was, that the cryptographic strength of the underlying math driving them was not potent ample.

The lengthy area names have a much more intricate cryptography behind them and are for that reason much more safe and tougher to spoof.

The technologies of the Tor community also obtained upgraded and servers functioning the v3 domains have a improved DDOS protection and other added benefits.

The Tor venture appears to be to proceed to make improvements to the concealed website community, following years of not undertaking significantly to aid admins of concealed products and services to mitigate DDOS assaults or deanonymization tries.

We switched to a new server again

We have mitigated this and moved the web site to a new server with more methods and a lot quicker community.

We hope the downtime we had did not induce much too a lot issues for anyone.

And we will make sure that in the future we retain the internet site as steady as it was in the past.

Some other information about back links on the Concealed Wiki

The darkish internet is continually shifting, and with it the Concealed Wiki.

We thus made the decision to drop the outdated v2 .onion web-sites from the most important web site.

Given that the final Tor browser update, the previous v2 web pages are no for a longer time supported and will end doing work.

So it can make no sense to checklist them anymore.

We will instead include a lot more new hidden services in the foreseeable future, so test back from time to time.
