01:03 πŸ”— joepie92 SketchCow; you will likely appreciate: http://devnull-as-a-service.com/home/
01:22 πŸ”— xmc c.f. RFC 863
01:23 πŸ”— xmc TCP and UDP port 9
03:48 πŸ”— Lord_Nigh if theres something asking for a nasty takedown and needs immediate mirroring, its this: http://blog.ioactive.com/2013/10/hacking-counterfeit-money-detector-for.html?m=1
03:49 πŸ”— Lord_Nigh i'm sure the company who made that thing he so gloriously tore the security illusion to bits on will want that article nuked
03:58 πŸ”— yipdw Lord_Nigh: done
03:59 πŸ”— SketchCow BELL CURVE
06:39 πŸ”— Emcy isohunt.to
06:39 πŸ”— Emcy honeypot?
06:40 πŸ”— Emcy With the original isoHunt gone there is no simple way of comparing the new isoHuntҀ™s database with the old one but the team behind the resurrection inform TorrentFreak that so far around 75% of isoHuntҀ™s torrent database has been restored.
06:40 πŸ”— Emcy how is that possible
06:43 πŸ”— DFJustin we did download a lot of it
06:44 πŸ”— Emcy nowhere near 75%
06:44 πŸ”— Emcy and this is nothing to do with archive team in any case, apparently
06:47 πŸ”— joepie92 who here used digitalocean for archiving again?
06:48 πŸ”— joepie92 and no, not related to archiveteam
06:49 πŸ”— joepie92 (re: isohunt)
09:06 πŸ”— BiggieJon i have a few vps's on DO
09:07 πŸ”— ryonaloli DO?
09:07 πŸ”— BiggieJon digital ocean
09:07 πŸ”— ryonaloli they're a hosting company?
09:07 πŸ”— BiggieJon yes
09:08 πŸ”— ryonaloli are they very good?
09:08 πŸ”— BiggieJon not sure, I think thats why jopie92 was asking
09:09 πŸ”— BiggieJon I havent seen any issues, but I have heard others have had issues with them
09:09 πŸ”— joepie92 nah, was a diff reason
09:09 πŸ”— joepie92 and no, they are not "very good"
09:09 πŸ”— joepie92 from what I have picked up they are "okay"
09:09 πŸ”— ryonaloli how come?
09:10 πŸ”— joepie92 they have a poor security track record, and apparently their network isn't great either
09:10 πŸ”— joepie92 as well as meh disk speeds for supposed SSD
09:10 πŸ”— BiggieJon plese explain the security concern
09:10 πŸ”— ryonaloli ah, that's pretty bad then
09:16 πŸ”— joepie92 BiggieJon: panel compromises, not properly wiping disks after destroying a droplet (thus making it possible for customers to recover deleted data of other customers)
09:17 πŸ”— joepie92 they had an issue where you could capture traffic of other VPSes also
09:17 πŸ”— citruspi Is this Digital Ocean?
09:18 πŸ”— ryonaloli how does that make them "okay"? more like almost criminally negligent
09:19 πŸ”— BiggieJon heh, poor security is pretty much the norm in cheap vps hosting
09:19 πŸ”— BiggieJon is there a "good" vps host we recommend ?
09:19 πŸ”— ryonaloli does leaseweb do vpses?
09:20 πŸ”— citruspi Yep - http://www.leaseweb.com/en/cloud-hosting/virtual-server
09:21 πŸ”— ryonaloli are they any good for vpses?
09:21 πŸ”— norbert79 hmm, now I start to think about moving my VPS too
09:22 πŸ”— citruspi I'm not sure... I use Linode + Digital Ocean + Rack Servers above my bed
09:22 πŸ”— ryonaloli what vps do you use? do?
09:22 πŸ”— citruspi norbert79: Where are your VPS's now?
09:22 πŸ”— norbert79 Dutch provider
09:22 πŸ”— norbert79 XLSHosting
09:23 πŸ”— ryonaloli what's a good fairly cheap but very secure/uncensored vps service?
09:23 πŸ”— norbert79 I pay for 1 core 2 GBof RAM and 80 GiB of HDD space and 250 GiB of bandwith 23҂¬ monthly
09:23 πŸ”— ryonaloli if anyone knows one
09:26 πŸ”— ws2k3 Hello i was looking but where can i find the isohunt data from you archive?
09:27 πŸ”— citruspi ws2k3: There's a working backup by another group at http://isohunt.to
09:27 πŸ”— ws2k3 yeah i noticed that but i was more looking for the data itself
09:27 πŸ”— citruspi Oh, I'm not sure...
09:27 πŸ”— ryonaloli citruspi: is that backup full?
09:28 πŸ”— ws2k3 as far as i know tyhe backup is not full no
09:28 πŸ”— citruspi I believe all the torrents are there, but comments are missing
09:28 πŸ”— citruspi I may be wrong though
09:28 πŸ”— ryonaloli all comments and metadata?
09:28 πŸ”— ws2k3 not sure
09:29 πŸ”— citruspi > While there is still work to be done and bugs to be ironed out, things are well underway. The interface is completely familiar, with categories to browse on the left hand side as usual. Torrent pages appear as they previously did although the Γ’Β€Β˜time addedҀ™ box appears to show when the torrent was added to the new isoHunt site, not when it was added to the original isoHunt.
09:29 πŸ”— ws2k3 but i was looking where i could download all the data that is recovered
09:29 πŸ”— citruspi > User torrent comments are also absent but it at least seems possible that these might be recovered in a future update. Additionally, brand new torrents are also being added to the site so its usefulness will not only be limited to preserving the past.
09:29 πŸ”— citruspi > so far around 75% of isoHuntҀ™s torrent database has been restored.
09:30 πŸ”— ws2k3 yeah but i was wondering where did they get that database
09:30 πŸ”— ws2k3 the owner of isohunt.to
09:30 πŸ”— ryonaloli maybe the owner of isohunt handed the data off to someone else
09:31 πŸ”— citruspi ryonaloli: I don't think so
09:31 πŸ”— ws2k3 what what i have readed thet did that based on all the data that has been pulled by all users
09:31 πŸ”— ryonaloli pulled by users?
09:31 πŸ”— ws2k3 http://torrentfreak.com/isohunt-resurrected-less-than-two-weeks-after-110-million-mpaa-deal-131029/
09:31 πŸ”— citruspi > This is it. We are shutting down isoHunt services a little early. I'm told there was this Internet archival team that wants to make historical copy of our .torrent files, I'm honoured that people thinks our site is worthy of historical preservation, but the truth is about 95% of those .torrent files can be found off Google regardless and mostly have been indexed from other BitTorrent sites in the first place. So I might as well do
09:31 πŸ”— citruspi a proper send-off to you dear isoHunt users, before final shutdown sequence on Tuesday.
09:32 πŸ”— citruspi - Owner of isoHunt
09:32 πŸ”— citruspi I don't he would have give the database just for an archiving and restoration attempt...
09:32 πŸ”— ryonaloli yeah, saw that. he also said "i'll be back"
09:32 πŸ”— citruspi > I'll be backkk.
09:32 πŸ”— ws2k3 so you think its the same people behind it ?
09:33 πŸ”— citruspi Same people behind the original isoHunt and the new clone? Doubt it.
09:33 πŸ”— ws2k3 if you douth is then how did they get the data
09:34 πŸ”— citruspi I would imagine it was some other group doing the same thing that the Archive Team does... Scraping the site and downloading the files. Most likely, they started before the Archive Team and/or did faster.
09:34 πŸ”— ws2k3 hmm
09:34 πŸ”— ryonaloli or maybe they had it already done
09:34 πŸ”— ryonaloli just in case it went down
09:35 πŸ”— citruspi Yeah, but I feel like that would be a pain in the neck... You'd have to keep going over the whole site to check for new torrents and new comments on existing torrents.
09:35 πŸ”— citruspi I'd rather just do it once
09:37 πŸ”— ryonaloli maybe they had a complete copy from a while ago, then when it was shutting down then only updated the new torrents
09:37 πŸ”— citruspi Maybe so...
09:51 πŸ”— ws2k3 well its a nice job they doing thats for sure
11:20 πŸ”— joepie92 to reiterate
11:21 πŸ”— joepie92 archiveteam is NOT involved in these new 'isohunt replacements'
11:48 πŸ”— joepie92 are we archiving pastebin yet?
11:52 πŸ”— ryonaloli can pastebin even be archived?
11:52 πŸ”— ersi Of course.
11:52 πŸ”— citruspi technically? I'm pretty sure
11:52 πŸ”— citruspi is is feasible/easy to do? not entirely
11:52 πŸ”— citruspi actually, scratch that
11:52 πŸ”— ersi We've done unfeasible things before
11:52 πŸ”— citruspi It'd be pretty simple
11:53 πŸ”— godane technically anything can be archived with a big enough hard drive
11:53 πŸ”— ryonaloli no, i mean, aren't pastes unlisted by default?
11:55 πŸ”— citruspi they are?
11:55 πŸ”— citruspi Nope
11:55 πŸ”— citruspi Paste Exposure is Public by default
11:55 πŸ”— citruspi ryonaloli ^
11:55 πŸ”— ryonaloli oh
11:58 πŸ”— joepie92 frontpage has the last X pastebin posts
11:58 πŸ”— joepie92 with a watcher thread and a downloader thread, that should be feasible...
11:58 πŸ”— citruspi latest public posts...
11:58 πŸ”— joepie92 yes, that's what I meant
11:58 πŸ”— joepie92 :P
11:59 πŸ”— citruspi That's what I was thinking... Two scripts, one to archive existing ones and one to archive new ones as they get made
11:59 πŸ”— citruspi I figured as much
12:00 πŸ”— citruspi That's actually why I logged in... I was wondering if I could help with any of the manual projects. But if you're planning on archiving PasteBin, I'd love to get in on that. I actually wrote a pastebin package for Python a couple of months ago
12:00 πŸ”— citruspi When I say logged in, I mean hopped on the IRC...
15:05 πŸ”— joepie92 archiveteam@croissant:~/pastebin-scrape$ ./start.py
15:05 πŸ”— joepie92 pastebin-scrape is now running. Run `python retrieve.py` to add additional retrieval workers.
15:05 πŸ”— joepie92 and now we wait
19:21 πŸ”— joepie92 We have temporarily blocked you from accessing our website because we have detected that you are browsing the site a little fast. The block usually lasts about 1 hour. Next time, please go easy on us.
19:21 πŸ”— joepie92 grrrr
20:50 πŸ”— S[h]O[r]T there are a lot of people who have private pastebin archivesin the security community
