dead-drop vs IPLogs

dead-drop is a minimal, self-hostable API for sharing ephemeral secrets: the client encrypts the payload before it ever reaches the server, so the backend only ever stores ciphertext it cannot read, and each secret can be set to self-destruct after a single view or a time limit. It needs no account or API key — requests are simply rate-limited per IP — and returns plain JSON over a small REST surface. The design mirrors the classic one-time-secret pattern used for sharing passwords or tokens without leaving a permanent copy anywhere.

IPLogs scores an IP address's likelihood of being a VPN, proxy, Tor exit node, or datacenter host by combining 25+ signals -- ASN/PeeringDB classification, TCP/IP and TLS fingerprinting, RTT timing, and active probing -- into a single verdict and confidence score. A single keyless POST to /v1/check (optionally enriched with client-side signals like user-agent, timezone, and WebRTC IP) returns the verdict, a 0-1 risk score, and the matched signals with their weights, run by DigitalD.tech. There's no signup and no enforced rate limit today -- the public endpoint is explicitly fair-use, with dedicated deployments available on request for high-volume callers.
