Thanks all for the fine domains! I've decided to spin up a new VM and do all the site configs and TLS chain for them at once - more efficient, less prone to error. I will get onto that on my tomorrow and report back here.
Thanks for all the domain donations, a beautiful thing!

https://c0-cloud.deI have only linked them here and on the landing page, and already it's gone nuts.
These are *solely* the new domains you've donated, all in one log. These do not pertain to the project domain.

I've started to harvest a list of AI crawler endpoint addrs for your blacklisting pleasure.
I'll try to keep it updated. I've been fastidious with ensuring I'm only pulling those related to the known user agent, so as not to have any false positives

It is at the same path for all contributed domains.

@JulianOliver this is the coolest thing I've seen all year, thank you for sharing and making this

@JulianOliver I think scraper bots and other parasites constantly scan TLS transparency reports to find new domains to probe. As soon as you have a new certificate, they start hitting your web server.

@pertho Very interesting! I will look into this closely. Thank you.

Do you have an unused domain that you would be happy to donate to a counter-offensive against unchecked & unregulated AI crawlers that scrape human-made content to simulate & deceive for profit?
If so, pls reply to this post. Your domain would become an entrypoint to the AI tarpit & Poison-as-a-Service project below, allowing concerned public to choose to use it on their sites, helping make the project more resilient to blacklisting.
@JulianOliver heya. How do I donate and configure domains for your experiment? Do they come with any restrictions, i.e. must the FQDNs be in distinct DNS zones, etc? Can easily spin up and configure a few to begin with e.g.
poetry.zenr.io
worst.case.zenr.io
wurst.case.zenr.io
et.c. -
@JulianOliver @futuresprog ah, cool to know, thanks. can config a few from this ...

@vortex @futuresprog Thanks a lot Adam! Please let me know when you're done. By DM is also fine too.

@pertho @JulianOliver a way around this is to use both DNS and TLS wildcard support - there is no single domain list in the report that can be slopped.

@dch I would think they would still try the bare/apex domain and "www".

@pertho Very interesting! I will look into this closely. Thank you.
@JulianOliver @pertho yes this is the thing. you can get hold of live streams of newly created TLS certificates, an example https://bencevans.io/security/certificate-stream

@JulianOliver do you want some subdomains on https://nein.wtf? feel free to pick!

For instance:
It's approaching DoS at this point. This just one of the VMs, and just OpenAI's parasite.
Threading's holding up but need some more tuning of rate limits and burst. Trying sending 429's now to ask them to play nice.
To think the www was built for people.
And here we are

@JulianOliver they are, A and AAAA records already set up

@computersandblues Ahh, so good. I'll add them first thing tomorrow. It's evening here. Will let you know as soon as I do

@JulianOliver@pertho in my experience it seems they don’t even bother with wildcard domains @JulianOliver

@JulianOliver I have a slew of currently un -used domains. Where do I point them?
