I have several hundred thousand (or million? Haven't counted) hs descriptors saved on my hard disk from a data collection experiment (from 70k HSes). I'm a bit nervous about sharing these en masse as whilst not confidential they're supposed to be difficult to obtain in this quantity. However, if someone wants to write a quick script that goes through all of them and counts the number of authenticated vs nonauthed then I do not mind running it on the dataset and publishing the results. I have a directory where each file is a hs descriptor.
The introduction point data is base64 encoded plaibtext when unauthed or has high entropy otherwise.

Is anyone making their HSDir onion descriptor scraping patches available somewhere? I'd suspect the rarity of HS authorization could also be determined with that since some fields would be obfuscated and thus not match patterns.
