I'm concern about uniqueness of the onion sites in terms of finding the right onion hostname and publishing it. How I can be guaranteed that my onion site will be the only one in Tor network with the same address?
So I'm not sure if it's possible, but since there is the same script used by everybody (scallion
) to generate onion hostname for certain pattern, like mytextxyz
and multiple people are looking for same pattern, isn't they end up with the exactly same private key (or pattern)?
Or another possibility can include copying the private key, then what happens when few independent servers running the website with the same private key?
For example when somebody finds the private key for the same pattern like facebookcorewwwi.onion
(which is nearly impossible, but somehow they manage to find the pattern which they wanted, so hypothetically we can assume it can be possible) and publishes the fake site for phishing attacks (or multiple of them in different countries with the same copied key for a better results). Which website users will be seeing? The official, or the fake once?
