Wikileaks.org blocked, but mirror sites proliferating: here's a partial index of indexes

In response to the "killing" of Wikileaks.org by the US, countless mirror sites are springing up all over the world. It's impossible to authoritatively catalog them all—too many mirrors, and too fluid of a situation. But here are some active indexes, which appear to be dynamically updating as new mirrors pop up.

• wikileaks.ch
• wikileaks.de
• wikileaks.fi
• wikileaks.nl
• Wikileaks.info
• Anapnea
• etherpad.mozilla.org:9000/wikileaks
• A Google search string
• [[wl-mirror]] at AnonWiki

Man, it's DeCSS all over again. Readers are invited to catalog others in the comments.

A request of the BB community: I’m trying to access a (non-cablegate) Wikileaks page for my research on the far right. Problem is, I can’t find the page on any of the mirrors. Can anyone help? Here’s the original link:

QUESTION: While Iâ€™m absolutely thrilled that all these mirrors are popping up. How do we make sure some of them aren’t corporatist fronts being set up by the “American” government to subvert funds?

Is there a way to check on the authenticity of some of these mirrors? Maybe a clearinghouse website (with the blessings of the wikileaks founders) should be set up that reports on malevolent mirrors as well as the good ones?

Offline mirrors are on BitTorrent too – - seed generously!

Will the soon-to-be-leaked big bank call to question the authenticity of future leaks by covertly releasing hundreds of thousands of false leaks?

And will WL (or the Scandinavian organizations who are currently providing the leaks and seem positioned to carry the torch after WL’s demise) be up to the challenge of establishing and maintaining the authenticity of future leaks?

If you have the anonymous network software I2P installed (like Tor but better) there is a new Wikileaks mirror setup on that network:

http://wikileaks.mirror.i2p

Here is the announce thread for the new site:

There is also an I2P torrent containing all Wikileaks’ old archives.

For posterity, the Wikileaks ssh public key I was able to retrieve (after some failed attempts) has the fingerprint:

Thank you bb! I went to wikileaks to read the cables and found that it had disappeared! Finally found a mirror site

http://213Â.251.145.9Â6
http://46.Â59.1.2

http://bitÂ.ly/ht6HqEÂ.

Then another site at

http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2010/12/03/wikileaks-ch-goes-down-as-everydns-pulls-the-plug-again.html

that provided some new wikileaks sites.

This is so Big Brother; it’s hard to believe that the USG would act like this. I don’t think this uproar is about the cables. I think it’s about the BANKS.

Tomorrow I’m going to create a wikileaks support web site or blog to catalog all the stories and comments on wikileaks and to also provide a list of access points. With my mac, it’ll be a snap. I urge everyone who supports wikileaks to do so as well.

I am having trouble opening the C-gate torrent.

Using Transmission, I am told the file contains invalid data.

Any thoughts?

The great part is that Wikileaks doesn’t really need Wikileaks.org, any of the mirrors, or even the internet. For much of what they’re doing (receiving documents, reviewing them, and doling them out to the msm), the technology has existed for over 100 years. And all the major newspapers already possess the massive insurance file, which Wikileaks can unlock with a wink and a whisper.

Since 2007 we have been deliberately placing some of our servers in jurisdictions that we suspected suffered a free speech deficit in order to separate rhetoric from reality. Amazon was one of these cases. — Julian Assange

Dear Government,

The internet is on computers now. While hipsters might make their own zeros and ones at home, the rest of us can use mirrors and torrents and Google to get past your attempts to hide what you gave 3,500,000 people access to. When you give one out of a hundred Americans access to diplomatic cables and intel about two wars and don’t think to disable CD burning or flash drives, this sort of thing happens.

As the bank release approaches, I bet the big banks will begin to smear WL by saying they plan on releasing personal finance information.

I bet.

  Yeah, using the public fear card. They have to use it one way or another. Of course, the pawns of the corporatist right will eat it up… like usual.

So from 11:20 pm Friday when I first read about it here (http://tinyurl.com/23s43ml) and tried sending a test email until 12:47 am Saturday (when my first test email got through undeleted). emails sent via yahoo groups containing the following URL (Wikileaks
mirror):

http://213.251.145.96/cablegate.html

were completely disappearing. I confirmed this by sending various test emails to a group to which I belong. Test emails sent before and after got through instantly, several emails containing this string have vanished. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

The first email containing this string to get through was one I sent at 12:47 am Saturday, the 5 or so I sent before that over the previous 1.5 hours still have not arrived (similar numbers of innocuous control emails sent at the same time as the test emails all arrived in under 10 seconds)

I think all wikileaks mirrors should sign their content (hashed together with the corresponding URLs) using PGP. Wikileaks officials should in turn sign the keys of trusted mirrors. This way readers could be sure that (1) the content comes from the desired URL (by comparing the given hash to the actual hash of the received content, like HTTPS), (2) the mirror is run by a trusted organization (by checking the signature). A collection of hash values of wikileaks document contents would be good as well.

DeCSS was easy to mirror – it fit on a T-shirt (been there, done that…) Wikileaks, with a quarter million documents of varying length, is a bit larger, though assuming most of it’s text rather than images of text, it probably still fits on a blue-ray disk or not many DVDs.

Our private identities are one thing. The actions of our employees – all the governments of the world – are something else entirely. Don’t you think the former is far more entitled to confidentiality?
