[notes][spam] Wikileaks Not Serving Crucial Pages
While I'm looking at this, I'm noticing that it's much harder than it has been in the past to find direct downloads on the wikileaks pages. Wikileaks is giving nginx 502 errors. This post from 6 years ago indicates those may happen from a DDOS: https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiLeaks/comments/5bkmaf/is_there_a_ddos_attack_ha...
Here's the current reddit thread for this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiLeaks/comments/yzdw9f/is_wikileaks_down/ Few comments, strangely, but still active now. In the main view, a thread named "pedo island" has significantly more votes than this thread. it is 2 days old, whereas the 502 error thread is 1 day old.
i have been stopped from working on this i understand that there others associated with this list who are much more experienced at this situation than i am
and yet, i kept poking at things a little bit! classic gmkarl. https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/wikileaks.org.html [broken javascript] Service Status History Date Time Ping Time Date Time Ping Time 20.Nov.2022 10:17 0 ms. 20.Nov.2022 12:31 0 ms. 20.Nov.2022 15:10 261.49 ms. 20.Nov.2022 18:00 0 ms. 20.Nov.2022 20:05 0 ms. 20.Nov.2022 22:05 0 ms. 21.Nov.2022 00:42 262.09 ms. 21.Nov.2022 03:09 262.92 ms. 21.Nov.2022 05:10 0 ms. 21.Nov.2022 07:14 0 ms. This spotty history indicates the problem is likely a powerful network attack.
- I failed to form a communication channel to someone affiliated with wikileaks. I did not pursue this very much. - I was able to access their .onion material submission form. - I failed to access their .onion chat service. I'm very out of date and inexperienced, but I'd expect this situation to resolve itself over the next few months, given the history shows changing uptime.
I also failed to find the material _elsewhere_ . The mirrors I tried had all been domain-sniped.
I did find it on archive.org and emailed that to douglas. I've seen attacks on archive.org data, so I'm uncomfortable sharing that. I didn't check to see if the archive contains the actual content, unfortunately, just that it existed.
It's important to mirror wikileaks.org somewhere better than the conventional web! There is so much more that is important too!
omigod was my tor binary out of date. i've updated it! it was _so_ out of date. not using it for anything.
