"XL-I2P: Cross-Layer I2P Darkweb Mapper"

Abstract

"This dataset contains the application-layer measurement data underlying the comparative validation study \"XL-I2P: Cross-Layer I2P Darkweb Mapper.\" It comprises two eepsite crawl runs conducted sequentially on a single fully integrated I2P vantage node under identical infrastructure conditions: a run of the proposed XL-I2P framework and a run of the established c4i2p baseline of Mag\u00e1n-Carri\u00f3n et al. For each run, the dataset provides the recovered eepsite hyperlink graph as node and edge lists (CSV), the underlying relational tables sites, pages, links, crawl attempts, and seed provenance in both CSV and compressed SQL-dump form, and the computed summary metrics. The XL-I2P run recovered 1,400 reachable eepsites and 366,304 directed hyperlinks; the c4i2p baseline recovered 105 eepsites and 2,337 hyperlinks. The data supports reproduction of every table and figure in the associated paper, direct comparison of the two crawlers' coverage and resilience, and longitudinal extension of I2P application-layer measurement.All eepsite identifiers are I2P .b32.i2p addresses already discoverable through the public subscription feeds documented in the paper. The dataset includes page-level content metadata page titles, hyperlink anchor text, content length, word counts, and content hashes to support content-aware analysis; full page bodies are not stored. Network-layer and cross-layer observation tables are excluded from this release, as the cross-layer pipeline is implemented but not empirically evaluated in the associated study."
