Our first DDOS attack!
We’ve successfully resolved the 10+ hour DDOS attack! In my opinion, this was very creative. Someone took advantage of a flaw in the Evasive Module (Preventative DDOS Measures) and was able to take out the dark net version of our website all day by sending thousands of requests from a botnet. Even now they are still continuing to try and flood our database with false clicks & queries (Not even working & not a single error). More features will be installed shortly to combat these fun attacks. I wanted to have a life today but someone said fuck you I guess.
Added the Onion Information Page
We've introduced the Onion Information page, providing detailed insights about each web page. You can access it by clicking the Info icon next to the indexing date. This page includes the total number of clicks, the first time the page was discovered, the last time it was indexed, the number of reports filed and their reasons, as well as the full content of the web page. Additionally, it will display all associated Mirrors / Clones of the web page.
Web Parameter Overload Causing Redirection Failures
Some websites had an overwhelming number of web parameters, which led to failures in our redirection and encoding logic. It turns out, our system wasn’t quite prepared for the "creative" work of web developers—myself included!
Search Engine Upgrades: Full-Page Searching
Our search engine just got a major boost! We now index the entire content of every page, allowing you to search for anything across all indexed pages. This means more powerful, comprehensive, and accurate search results, making it easier than ever to find exactly what you're looking for.
Clear Net CDN Image Rate Limiting Issue
Our clear net Content Delivery Network (CDN) image optimizer was configured incorrectly and was rate limiting image requests for quite some time... It is now permanently fixed and should not occur anymore. I am so sorry about that!
Search Engine Upgrades: Faster Caching
We've improved our search engine caching for faster return speeds.
Web Crawler Upgrades: Improved Extraction and Detection
We’ve made significant enhancements to our web crawler by incorporating the all-MiniLM-L6-v2 sentence transformer model for more accurate description extraction. Additionally, we've refined our clone detection algorithm, reducing false negatives by implementing full-page data hashing techniques.
Cookie Check Causing Navigation Issues
When users accessed the website via a saved link to the search results page, our cookie check logic prevented them from navigating to any other pages after passing the check. This caused users to be stuck on the search results page, requiring them to close the tab or browser and re-enter the website through the homepage, particularly on Linux operating systems.
