Ask HN: Is archive.today/is/md/etc. compromised?

6•ementally•9mo ago
It is now redirecting to a page that is owned by 5oh.ru, this is not the first time this happened btw, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43490423.

Sad to see this happens as it performs much better than archive.org

archive.today, archive.is, and archive.md are all working correctly for me now.

Still working fine here.

I see you have noticed this has happened before, I did recall the same when I saw this ... the bottom post talks about too many requests - if not your many visits, probably shared IP pool or something.

works for me, would be interesting to see what IP addresses it is redirecting for you, hopefully you are not using a malicious/compromised DNS server?
ementally•9mo ago
VPN's DNS server from reputable service from here https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/. I should have tried visiting this website using Tor browser too at that time, archive.today doesn't even load for me right now using my VPN...

I remember reading this may be a rate limiter or DDoS protection behaviour

It always gave me a sketchy vibe, I try to rely on the Internet Archive whenever possible.

(Some publishers whitelist their bot, since it is used for scholarly citations -- I'm not clear how a reviewer would review to an archive.is link and despite having been out of academia for a decade, old habits die hard.)

Also, how are you accessing the site? Are you sure the error stems from the destination?

I've never had what you describe happen but I have had some... interesting... errors pop up when doing OSINT in Tor.

(Ex: a SSL_ERROR_UNSAFE_NEGOTIATION when attempting to access the copy of a search warrant that was served on a state senator from a government website specifically set up to make such documents available.)

archive.today's DNS is unreliable garbage.

They take issue with Cloudflare not sending EDNS Client Subnet and lately I've noticed they've taken issue with NextDNS' anonymized EDNS.

Gives shady data-collection vibes.

And instead of just rejecting queries they return weird unrelated IPs out of spite.
