Empire Is First Active Front Test Of The End Game DDOS Fliter : EmpireMarket | Torhoo darknet markets

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

While dread is not currently open source we do believe in open code and ability to improve things for all.

Empire, being constantly attacked while staying the #1 market is a perfect start for the end game DDOS filter.

This filter is a combination of massive strides in the technologies which make up a site and their connection to the Tor network itself. A lot of the nginx scripting work was done by https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDNVdmJYSmZkMmhwZEdVPQ==# with the polishing, bash scripting, and setup processes done by me. Mr White wants this to be public for all to use so we can finally end these DDOS attacks. If that doesn’t inspire confidence that we are about to enter a new golden age I don’t know what will. A market admin helping all, not to specifically better themselves, but to better an entire industry and rise all to be away from these attacks.

You will notice that the front page of the DDOS filter looks exactly like dread. While it is good for sites to have their own identity, if it isn't broke why fix it. The end game DDOS filter defaultly comes with this kind of front. The captcha is designed to be very fast to compute on modern processors to handle mass floods on the page itself. Anyone who gets the end game DDOS filter will have this exact style on their DDOS page they can manually edit to their likings. None of the css style or code is not already available for all to be taken and used.

There are no property rights on the darknet. At any time, someone can hack in and steal everything about a site with no recourse for the site’s admin. The only trust you can have is upon a cryptographic signature like this one from me https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDNVdlVHRnlhWE09#.

While I have no doubt, the simple captcha will be broken in time (that is what a v2 for the end game will improve upon). Let this be the start of a new stable darknet. Where you can innovate and improve without worrying about being DDOSED to death.

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Note: This filter is v1 and there is no guarantee in it's current state that it will successfully defend all the attacks. If the filter fails it is not because the methods we are using are flawed but we just need to do some more tweaking to get the most ideal setting. However White House has been using this filter and defended a big flooding attack recently with it. I hope that in this case we can show that if this filter works for THEE market which struggles to be stably up it can work for even the smaller operations too.

It's working great now! Though the captcha, without a convoluted background, is very easy to bypass (I posted a separate comment regarding that).
/u/Onlydmtfromtj and
/u/trustyomomma what browser and OS are you using?

Some legacy browsers and old mobile clients will have issues like this because it doesn't adhere to the new redirection standards. If you visit with the latest Tor browser those problems will go away and you will be safer for it.

Or just another quality DrugHunter story. He has been working for months for free out of the goodness of his heart to help Empire stop DDOS. Who the fuck buys this shit. There must be some seriously fucking stupid people on this forum.

I'm sorry I'm new to this. Who was DrugHunter. Can you explain your comment.
/u/Salome
1 points
5 years ago
I'm definitely suspicious of any collaboration, but I think it was also quite apparent that everyone was going to be completely fucked/out of the game if a DDoS protection method was not implemented at some point.

I don't know the whole story on DrugHunter, but I assume it's something like a Fed slipping a backdoor in code that was used for a market. Just a guess.

Anyway, maybe I should be more cynical, but if this was created for just one site, it would be incredibly easy for that site to monopolize and tear down others. Open Sourcing guarantees that anyone who wants to fire up a forum/market/whatever has a level playing field. It makes sense that you would open source it as no one would trust you otherwise; the end game there would be far too obvious.

Now watch me eat my words as https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDNVdmJYSmZkMmhwZEdVPQ==# embeds some de-anonymization 0-day into every darknet market... lol.

(Edit: since people have no sense of humor here, just to be clear: I'm just making a joke, I have no reason to distrust https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDNVdmJYSmZkMmhwZEdVPQ==# whatsoever)

Unless you guys have a team of super good coders that are reviewing lots of code, a contributor could easily slip something in there to call out and decloak the server in like 1 line of code. Also handing your code out removes the guess work in finding a vulnerability, they can run your code and test their exploits. /u/Salome, who wouldnt be suspicious? this is common sense, this should be more of a honey pot for feds than anything else.

"The only trust you can have is upon a cryptographic signature like this one from me https://torhoo.cc/go.php?u=TDNVdlVHRnlhWE09#." So we are suppose to trust you because you can sign something? Poor choice of words but I get your point trust someone you trust if the key matches.
Ah I see how that can be misread. I meant more trust math not people. The only trust you can have is upon a cryptographic signature. Because you yourself can prove if it is valid or not.

I can easliy distinguish between the colors and see the black, I an using case sensitive, but have tried everything. I've been freaking out for 24-48 hours now, trying to get into my account. Please help. I noticed the links used to change on dark.fail but they have been the same. I've tried going thru Recon with no luck logging in either.
I say this in a post ( remove the ?=tc1 at the end ) but I don't see this in the likk or anywhere so I'm stuck. I had no problems before when we put in all captcha letters. My computer is a 2014 or something intel, so not old. Im lost:(
