I've already helped two scraper developers with this.

Glad to help another. You need to set the HTTP Referer header to "https://8kun.top/".

The terminating slash is important.

>Why were the boards set up to have a limit of 751 posts?

Jim has nothing to do with that. It's a board setting and the limit was determined years ago by anons (I was not part of that conversation).

>nothing was there at the end of the thread No hosts no file

It's possible that the file is missing. There is basically nothing in it by default. So just create a new file. This is what my copy looks like:

 

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

# For example:

#

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

 

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

# 127.0.0.1 localhost

# ::1 localhost

Another thought. By default, Notepad will display only files with the ".txt" extension. You need to tell it to show all files or open the file as "hosts." (you may need the dot so that Notepad doesn't add .txt after the name).

There should be at least 4 files in "windows/system32/drivers/etc" named hosts, networks, protocol and services (all names without extension). Are you saying that all of those other files are missing too?

I didn't see that vid earlier. Now that I've seen it, I'm impressed. Ron pulled a Trumpism. No way he doesn't know why Russia whacked the Ukraine. His sly smile in the last frame says it all. Masterful.

The fix to the "hosts" file was to connect to sys.8kun.top in order to do the captcha. It was to bypass the DNS lookup which was returning a non-functional IP address. Don't need that right now because the DNS has been corrected.

> by the way it was worded it would bypass captcha

Yeah. Sometimes it's hard to explain these things in terms that everybody will understand. There was never an issue with the captcha. It was a connectivity issue. The domain "sys.8kun.top" is used for three things: posting, captcha and admin access (BO, BV). People get confused about the role separation between that and "8kun.top".

>sounded like a capcha Hack

I'm starting to gather that you weren't actually affected by the shutdown of the site. I was there when it happened and it was me who started telling everyone in the QR bunker to change the "hosts" file. That message sort of got a bit twisted over the course of several hours after the site became accessible for reading but not for posting. Vanwanet fixed the DNS for "8kun.top" but they took their sweet time with "sys.8kun.top". After a while, people started thinking that something was going wrong with the captcha. That's sorta true but not really, kek.

>never had to change anything so i call bullshit on all your host file shananigans

Took me a while to figure out why some people were able to post when it should not have been possible. For some reason, the site was accessible through the Tor browser (or Brave in a Tor window). Not the onion link but clearnet over Tor. I haven't figured out why that worked and I guess I'll never really know.

Ron is, I think, an introvert. It'll take him a while to get used to public speaking. Give him credit for being brave enough to try. I'd be petrified.

>It appears that the onion addresses in the hosts file are needed.

I have no idea how that could work. An onion link cannot be resolved to an IP address. I also don't see why the file would be "massive".

8kun was playing ping pong with domain names until it finally settled on the current one. Each time the domain changed, a new entry would be made in the file but the old ones would not get deleted. That's what must have happened.

vanwa.tech is good

vanwanet.com has non-working IP

vanwatech.com has non-working IP

qagg.news has been out of the DNS since the blackout

 

During the blackout, qagg was oscillating between in the DNS and out of the DNS. One of Vanwanet's DNS servers stopped responding for several hours. Just a buggered up mess.

Vanwanet has its own DNS servers: ns1.vanwanet.com and ns2.vanwanet.com. The DNS servers in China which handle the "top" domain are supposed to point to the Vanwanet DNS servers (two of the Chinese servers are compromised).
