COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Collection: ArchiveBot: The Archive Team Crowdsourced Crawler

ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).

To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

ArchiveBot's source code can be found at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ArchiveBot.

A mountain of unknowns looms in front of you.

We're here to guide your team in building secure web applications.

We want to help you:

Understand how secure your app is
Learn to confidently build more secure code
Be prepared to defend and respond to threats as you encounter them

Assessments

We'll comb through your app to identify and prioritize spots for improvement. From there, we'll chart a course together.

Education

Each developer you add to your team is potentially an unpatched set of vulnerabilities. We love to help devs avoid pitfalls through our security education and training program.

Research

We research intrusion methods and identify new vulnerabilities in widely-used technologies. We want to make the web better for good guys everywhere.

Consulting

We help you improve your team's security culture and incrementally improve your processes so you can stop security mistakes before they reach production. When breaches do happen, we help you identify them and respond swiftly and decisively.

Your expedition will be led by

The team that brought you the Node Security Project and produced the first ever node.js secure development class.

We work hard to secure the tools you use everyday:

GitHub has worked with Adam for a few years. Each engagement has produced results that show a deep understanding of both system and application security, going far beyond the web application tier. Boilerplate reports are put aside to provide us with clear vulnerability reports, with clean proof-of-concepts and steps to reproduce. Performing both blackbox and whitebox assessments, Adam & ^Lift Security has continued to provide consistent, high quality, results.

Shawn Davenport, Github Director of Security

^Lift gave us a really reasonable rate based on the number of people, the amount of time spent, and the number of weeks that they'd be poking at stuff. They were extremely easy to work with, and very fast about getting stuff to us and verifying when it was fixed, and I felt like we definitely got more than our money's worth. A+, would recommend, will hire again.
