Hi,
This is just part of my research and I was informed to bounce my results
over to you so you can look deeper in why the exits are doing what they do.
All URLs are unique, so the chance for a crawler/spider/robot to find
that URL is extremely unlikely.
/db/backups/997391913-2015 is a unique URL. The numbers "997391913" are
generated, saved to a list and checked if there's any duplicates, if so,
remove them. Then, all these URLs are visited through all (public)
exitnodes. A web server is used and saves all(HTTP) the requests to a
file(log). Later I check that log if an URL has been visited more than
one time, if so I know that something fishy[sic] is going on with that
node.
Regards,
Chloe
