Hi again, Learning about hidden services - what are the methods (if any) for Tor users to locate a hidden service? Is there a way to search for them, get the info from the directory servers, etc?
Say for example that I have a web server running as a hidden service and I only want people from a certain group to be able to locate/access that server. Authentication has already been addressed on the server but I don't want users who are not part of that group to "bang" on my hidden service with a bunch of bogus login requests. In the past, I've used port knocking/SPA to address this issue but I'm not exactly sure how that would work out in a Tor/Hidden Service environment - anyone have any experience along those lines? Any other information or advice? Thanks as always - nD -- Live the good life!
