It’s a story in itself that a simple script which locates a site’s real IP was taken down for TOS violations. Cloudflare doesn’t own the real IPs or something so it’s really unclear why they (or GitHub) were entitled to take down this repository. Just because it threatens their million dollar buisness model they think they can take it down? That’s wrong my friend. And people need to know. Cloudflare or GitHub overstepped it’s boundaries to help a corporation enforce security by obscurity. Since this method is proven to be preventable, why take it down? Instead of taking it down from public knowledge (which does nothing to stop cybercriminals with private forks) why don’t they help their customers mitigate the impact instead?
Also, they stopped blocking the Tor IPs now but this wasn’t always the case. Many people remember a few years ago the IPs were blocked.
