The problem is that the "counterattackers" must know what ports the "evil" bots in a bot swarm use in advance. πŸ€”πŸ€―πŸ˜…

Well, they could nuke all ports, just to make absolutely certain. 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

Looks like "IP addresses" is a more accurate term than "ports" on the "bot swarm" on my previous comment. πŸ€―πŸ˜…

Well, they use ports to access and make use of IP addresses. 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

I know that "ports" are just a specific way to access something located at an IP address, though I was just saying that "IP addresses" is a more precise way to refer to the location of each bot on the "evil bot swarm". πŸ€”πŸ€―πŸ˜…

Perhaps they use a method of networking with each other that does not make use of conventional IP addresses, like Tor, I2P, or Qortal nodes. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

Looks like you mean that the bots on the "evil bot swarm" communicate using the dark web! πŸ€”πŸ€― They will need to access the clear web first before they can launch "swarm attacks" (unless their target is also in the dark web)! πŸ€―πŸ˜…

The dark web is one means, yes, as well as node-to-node connections that don't use DNS, so no name resolution, like Bastyon and Qortal. Maybe the clear web itself is their target! 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

If the "evil bot swarm" attack anything on the clear web (except their own, of course), then most people would be forced to learn to use the dark web (including many "sovereignty-driven" platforms such as #Qortal). πŸ€”πŸ€―πŸ€“

Sounds great to me! The more network versatility the better! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

Maybe the name "dark web" should be renamed to something else that is less scary (but still means the opposite of "clear web" or "surface web") so that more people (especially technology-inclined people) begin to study it. πŸ€”πŸ€“πŸ˜

Well, it's also been called the 'deep web', which I think is a far better name anyway, plus it plays well into the use of the term 'surface web'. 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

They say that the "deep web" is basically any website (such as password-protected webpages) that cannot be publicly found on the Internet (using any search engine), and that the "dark web" is on the deeper layers of the deep web where special software (such as the "sovereignty-driven" platform apps that you use such as #Qortal) is required to access them. πŸ€”πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈπŸ€―πŸ€“

That's a pretty good explanation of how the terms relate to each other. I like the Qortal dark web. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

They also say that great care has to be taken when trying to access dark web sites without using their native browser app (which means someone wanting to access #Qortal sites should avoid using any clear web proxy for such sites). πŸ€”πŸ€―πŸ€“

Qortal is a bit different than say Tor or I2P, but it does have its own internal network of resources, and even websites. There are several gateway sites set up so that people that don't run Qortal can access those resources. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

Those "gateway sites" (which can also be called "clearweb proxy sites") can indeed be a compromise between hosting a #Qortal node to access internal websites, and not being able to access those websites at all. πŸ€“ Users of such sites should be careful not to provide sensitive information, as those sites can potentially read all information that pass through them. 🀯

@savvytester said that running a #Qortal node is too expensive for them (at least at present), because it requires a spare computer or a VPS to host 24/7. πŸ’ΈπŸ˜…

The gateway sites are only for those that don't run a Qortal node, and it's obviously better to run one.

Yep, indeed. It does need to stay running 24/7/365. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™
