| 09:13:50 | <jodizzle> | Another candidate shortener: http://ewar.ren/Colbert (from here: https://twitter.com/TeamWarren/status/1233244510064345088) |
| 13:50:08 | <phuzion> | That one is run by rebrand.ly |
| 18:28:37 | <jodizzle> | phuzion: How can you tell, out of curiosity? |
| 18:29:07 | <phuzion> | jodizzle: ping the domain, find the IP, then nslookup the IP. |
| 18:29:43 | <phuzion> | [phuzion@vps01 ~]$ host ewar.ren |
| 18:29:43 | <phuzion> | ewar.ren has address 52.72.49.79 |
| 18:29:43 | <phuzion> | [phuzion@vps01 ~]$ nslookup 52.72.49.79 |
| 18:29:43 | <phuzion> | 79.49.72.52.in-addr.arpa name = visit.rebrand.ly. |
| 18:30:10 | <jodizzle> | Got it, thanks. |
| 18:30:21 | <jodizzle> | Does the fact that it's run by rebrand.ly matter for urlteam's goals? |
| 18:31:43 | <jodizzle> | As in, does it affect how we would decide to implement scraping of the shortener? |
| 18:31:45 | <phuzion> | Ultimately not, but it's useful to know. For some URL shorteners, we have custom code to handle certain edge cases. I don't think we do for rebrand.ly though |
| 18:31:54 | <jodizzle> | Ah, okay |
| 18:32:50 | <@JAA> | Some shorteners use the same codes across the entire platform. Most notably, that's the case on bit.ly and all the millions of aliases. |
| 18:33:25 | <phuzion> | In other words, if bit.ly also runs bob.ly, bit.ly/foobar would be the same as bob.ly/foobar |
| 18:33:47 | <@JAA> | Yeah, and hence why we only scan bit.ly and basically don't care about the aliases except for documentation purposes. |
| 18:34:15 | <@JAA> | (Custom codes aren't shared on bit.ly, but those can't be bruteforced anyway.) |
| 18:34:48 | <phuzion> | JAA: Just curious, since I'm a tracker admin, would it be reasonable for me to get +o in here? |
| 18:35:09 | <@JAA> | It would, and I just thought the same thing. :-) |
| 18:35:22 | <phuzion> | Hah, nice. |
| 18:35:46 | <@JAA> | Hmm |
| 18:35:51 | <@JAA> | Oh yeah, NOSYNC and no VERBOSE. |
