Availability refers to the operator's official clearnet page. The hidden-service endpoint is not contacted.

Identity confidence

Medium

Independent sources exist, but identity continuity has not been independently confirmed.

  • Supports confidence: Independent sources: 2
  • Supports confidence: Recently observed
  • Supports confidence: No unresolved identity conflicts
  • Supports confidence: Status history is consistent
  • Weakens confidence: Identity cannot be independently confirmed

Availability and identity are assessed separately. A responding endpoint does not show that it is operated by the entity it claims to be. Why this matters

What it is

Hyphanet is described by Wikidata as “peer-to-peer Internet platform for censorship-resistant communication”, classified there as application software, free and open-source software, overlay network and peer-to-peer software. Wikipedia's editors list it among anonymity networks and anonymous publishing systems: the infrastructure hidden services are built on.

Its recorded inception date is 1999. It also maintains an official clearnet website, which is what automated availability checks on this profile refer to.

Where an official address is on file it is shown on this profile with its source; compare it with the entity's own site before relying on it.

Impersonation and scam reports

Only reports confirmed by a reviewer are listed. A report describes lookalikes of this entity; it is not a statement about the entity itself.

No confirmed reports. That is an absence of reports, not a guarantee that no impersonators exist.

Evidence history

The most recent accepted observations. Each records whether something responded and, separately, whether identity was assessed.
