两年不间断跟踪:档案揭示了什么
This month the probe fleet passed a quiet milestone: two years of continuous sweeps, no long outages, every result archived. The badge you see is backed by a long memory - and the memory tells some interesting stories.
What two years of data shows
The dominant pattern is not drama but churn: most addresses that ever appeared on the list are gone, and most of those went silently. Seizures are memorable; the ordinary fate of a hidden service is a quiet stop answering, usually within its first year. The survivors share habits. Redundant infrastructure - multiple addresses, OnionBalance frontends, real monitoring of their own uptime - predicts longevity better than size or age. Services that treat their own onion address as production infrastructure behave like production infrastructure. Why the archive matters
A permanent record of who went dark, and when, turns out to be one of the most useful things this site produces. It lets you tell a service that quietly died from one that is being impersonated - the impostor cannot fake a two-year uptime graph. Here is to year three. The probes do not take holidays, and neither does the methodology page that keeps them honest.
