What does /g/ think about Zeronet?
I was fucking around with it about 3 days before i came to a conclusion that its not really useful and its just a big slow clusterfuck.

this is why Zeronet and other services like it will never be successful, because pedophiles
>>55746479
I use it for zerotorrent

It looked like it could be fun, but then the KAT takedown happened and some underageb& hopped on the MUH FREEDOMZ wagon and proceeded to try to turn it into the KAT "replacement" via shepherding people onto Zeronet. Also pedophiles. Pedos ruin fucking EVERYTHING.The fact that I have to maintain a spoof image library just to block cheese pizza I don't want to see in the first place is incredibly annoying.
I just wanted a place that felt like the old internet with modern accouterments.
When you try searching something, it just says Initial Sync is in progress and won't load result.....WTF??

I decided to try zeronet to see exactly how insecure it is instead of just ripping on it and it was fun. Within a few minutes of messing around on zerochan I noticed the locations the images were being stored and how they stayed the same for users between posts and threads. On investigating this further I found that the folders also contained all the information about every post that user had made on the board along with every image submitted, there is also a file that gives you their zeronet ID. I then loaded a few more sites to have a larger set of information to search and tried searching the zeronet ID using grep. Sure enough it came up with information about a post by that user on another site. Now if that isn't enough, all this data is nicely sorted in JSON files that can be loaded by some database software to make it even eaiser to search. Part of me wants to get out some old hard drives I have sitting around, dedicate a ton of storage space to this (I can do about 770 GB), and use the information to harass/dox posters. Given how the data is already setup to be used in a database it won't be hard to gather that information if the user posts it. I never thought I'd see the day when an actual open source botnet would be shilled on /g/.

it's unusable. why
>>55748777
I see people turned my post from a few days ago into a copypasta
>>55746479
See >>55748777, you can always have fun playing NSA agent on it.
>>55748754
because its garbage

They really don't need to do something like that. CP is something that spreads by itself, since it's a product that has demand.

isn't the zeronet ID only useful for doxing if they're not using tor? you're only getting to their exit node, right?
>>55749094
botnet, leaks your ip

>isn't the zeronet ID only useful for doxing if they're not using tor? you're only getting to their exit node, right?
The ZeroNet ID is completely unrelated to your IP address. What it gives you is every single image and post that a user submitted to any site on ZeroNet whether they were using Tor at the time or not.
