New kind of concealed service domains and other information
from web site
V3 hidden solutions
With many persons pondering why all the short v2 hidden provider domain names stopped functioning, we will try to clarify this in this short but extensive post.
So what does an .onion title do?
It will permit you link to a concealed internet site on the Tor community. But in order for that to work, the hidden web site has to authenticate ownership of the concealed web-sites domain to the Tor network.
Now the difficulty with the brief area names was, that the cryptographic strength of the underlying math behind them was not powerful plenty of.
The very long domain names have a a lot more complex cryptography at the rear of them and are consequently extra protected and more challenging to spoof.
The technological know-how of the Tor community also got upgraded and servers working the v3 domains have a better DDOS safety and other rewards.
The Tor project appears to be to keep on to enhance the concealed web site community, immediately after several years of not accomplishing considerably to aid admins of hidden expert services to mitigate DDOS attacks or deanonymization makes an attempt.
We switched to a new server once again
As you may perhaps have discovered, in the current months the site of the Hidden Wiki was not as secure as it used to be.
We have mitigated this and moved the web-site to a new server with additional means and speedier network.
We hope the downtime we had did not trigger too substantially issues for everyone.
And we will make confident that in the upcoming we retain the web-site as stable as it was in the past.
We would like to thank our provider for
Some other news about one-way links on the Concealed Wiki
The dim world-wide-web is continuously altering, and with it the Hidden Wiki.
We thus made a decision to drop the old v2 .onion sites from the major webpage.
Considering that the last Tor browser update, the aged v2 web sites are no for a longer period supported and will halt functioning.
So it will make no sense to list them any longer.
We will as an alternative add extra new concealed providers in the long term, so verify back from time to time.
