While the sks-keyservers.net domain and many of the old hostnames that powered it are dead & gone, the actual SKS keyserver network does in fact live on, complete with new & improved DOS mitigations and active development of the underlying server software powering it, Hockeypuck. More information can be found @ https://spider.pgpkeys.eu/ & https://github.com/hockeypuck/hockeypuck respectively.
Keyserver.ubuntu.com also exists, but has fallen out of sync with the network and to date has been unwilling to reengage. -T > On Jul 22, 2024, at 05:00, nanog-requ...@nanog.org wrote: > > Message: 15 > Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2024 20:23:43 -0400 > From: Matt Corallo <na...@as397444.net <mailto:na...@as397444.net>> > To: Randy Bush <ra...@psg.com <mailto:ra...@psg.com>>, North American Network > Operators' > Group <nanog@nanog.org <mailto:nanog@nanog.org>> > Subject: Re: pgp keyservers > Message-ID: <23baf526-4319-49ba-aa6d-af3460ab9...@as397444.net > <mailto:23baf526-4319-49ba-aa6d-af3460ab9...@as397444.net>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed > > pgp.mit.edu <http://pgp.mit.edu/> has been sporadically available for me over > the last while, but yea AFAIU sks-keyservers > shut down after the DoS drama, as did most of the old servers in the pool. > > I believe keyserver.ubuntu.com <http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/> generally works > and doesn't strip all the signatures and whatnot off > keys when they upload. > > I think the hipster thing to do now, though, is --auto-locate-key with the > Web Key Distribution or > the DNSSEC Key Distribution mechanism. > > Matt > > On 7/21/24 7:25 PM, Randy Bush wrote: >> are there any old keyservers still working? or only the new hipster >> ones? i tried three and no love >> >> hkps://pgp.mit.edu <hkps://pgp.mit.edu> >> hkps://pgp.uni-mainz.de <hkps://pgp.uni-mainz.de> >> hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers <hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers> >> >> randy >
