Interesting discovery today when adding support for IP Address Lookups on Tor node nicknames and fingerprints. Anyone can now do a lookup with node= or fingerprint= specified as a URL parameter, as in the following examples:
http://www.showmyip.com/?node=peacetime
http://www.ippages.com/?fingerprint=2f63b6febe2c1fdddef2dd850b77b88c05711cf9
Previously you could only do lookups by IP Address, Host name, or "long" IP number as in:
http://www.showmyip.com/?ip=75.125.82.140
http://www.ippages.com/?host=adobe.com
http://www.lookupip.com/?ipn=1266504332
When I ran some tests on node=peacetime I found, by way of the new Tor network presence history data, that there were quite a number of nicknames using the same IP Address 128.31.0.34 over at mit.edu: peacetime, moria500, moria1, moria2, moria1000 and maybe more. What the heck are you doing over there Nick, arma and Roger? :)
