How long will this take?
It's hard to say for sure but at the current rate of about 40 IP addresses per second, it will probably take close to 2.5 years to complete! However, with your donation (or banner click), we can afford to increase our processing power and bandwidth allowing us to scan more addresses at a time.
What kind of hardware are you using?
Presently, all of the actual scanning is done from a home PC on a cable modem. The results are then uploaded to this site at 15 minute intervals.
The original plan was to do all scanning from this site and update the database in realtime. However, this was too much strain on our shared hosting account so we had to 'outsource' the scanning to one of our home PCs.
Aren't you missing sites on virtual hosts?
Yes, for now... After we've determined what IPs are answering our requests (and we get some more storage capacity) we'll go back through the list and check for virtual hosts. We'll probably also start caching pages so we can return better search results.
