Never having explicitly queried fb.com before I never noticed how they (face:b00c) got clever with their IPv6 address: 2a03:2880:f1ff:83:face:b00c:0:25de

- ceejayoz 5y agoFacebook also used brute force to get facebookcorewwwi.onion on Tor a while back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_onion_address https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_onion_address
- ipaddr 5y agofacebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion is the latest
- ReactiveJelly 5y agoIs it really brute force when they had to put a big list of keywords in and make a backronym for whatever combo they happened to find first?
- colinmhayes 5y agoYes? From what I read they had an entire datacenter work on this for multiple days.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoThat's just brute forcing from both directions
- 0xdeadb00f 5y agoVanity onion domains are usually created via brute force, yes, but it isn't something looked down upon. Heaps of services do this.
- drzaiusapelord 5y agoI would like to know how much pollution was created for that vanity url.
- r3trohack3r 5y agoWould you? You know (or could find out) the hashing algorithm. I’m sure you could come up with a model estimating “pollution” based on hash rate, kWh per hash, “greenness” of the energy source, and estimated hashes until a prefix collision. Excited to see what you come up with.
