viewdns.info Updated +Created
This is the most accessible DNS database online, as it does not require login or payment.
They have reasonable data. It's not fully complete as Ciro Santilli saw on CIA 2010 covert communication websites, but it is very valuable.
Tested as of 2025, they seem to have removed the pre-IP checks on web interface, and just instead use Cloudfare to check that you are human from time to time, which allows for a lot manual searching to be done! Awesome!
Previously, tou could only get about 250 queries on the web interface, then 250 queries per free account via API. They check your IP when you signup, and you can't sign in twice from the same IP. They also state that Tor addresses are blacklisted. They also normalize dots in gmail addresses, so you need more diverse email accounts. But they haven't covered the .gmail vs .googlemail trick.
Their data is also quite disjoint from the data of the 2013 DNS Census. There is some overlap, but clearly their methodology is very different. Some times they slot into one another almost perfectly.

TODO is their database amazing?
Open source racing game Updated +Created
Rigs of Rods 2022.12 had some promise as a fun simulator, and seems to have multiplayer and a way to find user created content online. But it is just too cluncky to get started with.
God can't we just have something that runs and is mildly fun to play with already?
github.com/pmndrs/racing-game finally seems to have the focus of being immediately fun. And it runs on browser. But the physics are completely broken, you go through the floor basically everywhere, and going over any bump sends you flying no matter your speed.

CIA 2010 covert communication websites / JAR reverse engineering Updated +Created
TODO it would be cool to have a look at the JARs and see if they have anything in common that makes for a good fringerprint. Would not help find new ones, but would help to confirm possible hits.
The most advanced reverse engineering effort so far has been by GitHub user quat1024, an undergratuate student at Ohio State University, Minecraft modding extraordinaire and furry afficionado. Minecraft is written in Java, which may partly explains his Java skills.He managed to deobfuscate the strings present inthe JARs using Enigma, possibly github.com/FabricMC/Enigma, a Java reverse engineering tool. Cool findings on web.archive.org/web/20110208072027/http://newsupdatesite.com/update.jar include:
  • applet.configs1 deobfuscated contains a date:
     Fri Feb 05 12:04:29 EST 2010
    Also cool is the present of a timeszone, "EST" unsurprisingly.

Other files whose existence might help to fingerprint include:

A quick:
find . -type f | xargs strings | sort -u
does not reveal any obvious cryptography calls.
