New kind of concealed company domains and other information

V3 hidden products and services

With quite a few people today wondering why all the brief v2 hidden support area names stopped functioning, we will test to make clear this in this shorter but thorough posting.

So what does an .onion title do?

It will enable you join to a hidden site on the Tor network. But in get for that to operate, the hidden website has to authenticate ownership of the concealed websites area to the Tor network.

Now the challenge with the limited domain names was, that the cryptographic toughness of the underlying math powering them was not sturdy plenty of.

The extensive domain names have a additional complicated cryptography behind them and are therefore far more protected and more difficult to spoof.

The technological innovation of the Tor community also acquired upgraded and servers working the v3 domains have a far better DDOS protection and other added benefits.

The Tor project appears to be to carry on to enhance the concealed site community, right after decades of not performing a great deal to support admins of concealed expert services to mitigate DDOS attacks or deanonymization attempts.

We switched to a new server all over again

As you may have recognized, in the new weeks the web site of the Hidden Wiki was not as secure as it employed to be.

We have mitigated this and moved the website to a new server with much more methods and more rapidly network.

We hope the downtime we experienced did not result in way too significantly difficulties for anybody.

And we will make sure that in the future we hold the site as secure as it was in the earlier.

We would like to thank our provider for
Some other information about back links on the Hidden Wiki

The dim world wide web is constantly switching, and with it the Hidden Wiki.

We for that reason decided to fall the aged v2 .onion websites from the primary page.

Since the previous Tor browser update, the old v2 web-sites are no for a longer period supported and will cease functioning.

So it can make no perception to record them any more.

We will rather insert more new hidden services in the long term, so verify again from time to time.
