speaking of loot, I'm finding some more new sweb.cz domains by going through some of my older czech warcs
-
Sanqui
at a rate of about 5 domains per 5GB WARC. hey, it's worth it
-
OrIdow6
Not sure we'll be able to do much for uploaded.net
-
OrIdow6
Allegedly "Download restriction: a file every 180 minutes", plus Recaptcha required to download a file
-
OrIdow6
On the plus side there appear to only be 2.2 billion possible folder IDs
-

What a bunch of cool dudes

This is the care you'd expect from a site whose parent describes itself as "focused on seeking IT anticipates with the most noteworthy future potential."
-
NickS|m
Awesome, I love IT anticipates
-
joepie91|m
lmao
-
joepie91|m
my guess is they went under due to legal issues
-

uploaded is mainly used for warez, but having the file names to the urls would still be interesting I guess?
-
OrIdow6
Yeah
-
OrIdow6
If we can do any substantial discovery
-
OrIdow6
As it would take around 8.4k req/s to enumerate the folders assuming they are all [a-z0-9]{6}

additional info can be found in this german article if someone is interested

Real talk, has anyone here ever tried preserving a gacha game?
-
madpro|m
A friend was just talking to me about how they were intercepting network resources to try and mirror a game locally.
-
madpro|m
Very inefficient, but it's been working so far from what I can tell. The game is in Unity which makes reconstructing files even easier
-
madpro|m

Anyway the ETA shutdown on this is Jan 2023
-
madpro|m
But have any of you ever tried anything similar.
-
madpro|m
I know the Flashpoint people have preserved a couple of Flash MMOs, but the platform being mobile adds a further layer of complication ehe 😆
-
OrIdow6
madpro|m: I believe the game where I failed to do that used Unity
-
madpro|m
that makes the two of you, seeing as this TOO is Unity 😎

IIRC there was an SQLite database of what apparently mapped to asset names, that I was unable to figure out how to read
-
arkiver
yeah uploaded.net is likely not going to be a project
-
arkiver
unless we have a large number of pages, then we can at least preserve the HTML
-
schwarzkatz|m
even if we were to archive the pages just to have a url to filename mapping... that would be kind of pointless, since the filenames are truncated on-site (original names are nowhere to be found in the html)
-
schwarzkatz|m
they get cut at 30 characters
-
arkiver
do you have some example URLs?
-
schwarzkatz|m
-
OrIdow6
AFAICT folders list the full filenames
-
schwarzkatz|m
shared folders are very rare though
-
OrIdow6
Oh
-
schwarzkatz|m
I have maybe seen 3 in the years I err... visited the site "randomly"
-
schwarzkatz|m
probably higher chance of seeing them for non-warez I suppose
-
OrIdow6
Whatever is at
uploaded.net/io/ticket/slot/[a-z0-9]{8} it appears somebody mass-SPNd them about 5 days ago
-
OrIdow6
May just be something in the Recaptcha delivery system
-
schwarzkatz|m
it appears to check if a file exists with that url I guess, returns {succ:true} in cleartext for valid urls
-
schwarzkatz|m
looking through JD2 source code, you can get infos for links via
uploaded.net/file/[a-z0-9]{8}/status
