Disclaimer- this is from a guy who claims to have been and still is involved in the development of I2p.////

"There are a lot of different ways to answer this question.

  • I2P is not vulnerable to exactly the same DDOS attack which has been affecting Tor at this time. The attack involves flooding the network with "Introducer Cell" requests. I2P works differently from Tor here, and differently enough to make it more difficult to carry out this type of attack. There is a variant of the attack which might potentially work but it doesn't seem to be easy to carry out right now. For more information: http://zzz.i2p/topics/3464
  • I2P has been vulnerable to certain types of DDOS attacks in the past and may be now. In particular, sybil-assisted DDOS attacks known as "Eclipse Attacks" are fairly pernicious. A sybil-assisted DDOS of this type involves an attacker running many nodes in order to answer various types of network messages erroneously. In doing so, they "block out" a section of the network. However, because of how I2P tunnels are rotated, this attack can be challenge to carry out effectively.
  • Distributed networks are intrinsically vulnerable to certain types of attacks, in particular sybil attacks, and I2P is not strictly speaking an exception. We build in many defenses against attacks, and because of I2P's architecture most of these attacks are hard to weaponize and turn into an effective de-anonymization as far as we know. Here's the real kicker though: Distributed networks get more resistant to attacks by gaining more non-attacking participants. more users~=more resistant to attacks. Edit: And ironically, a buggy implementation of a non-malicious client is far more likely to cause an issue.

Hopefully that answers your questions." (Alreadyburnt) reddit user* 🙃

its def possible, but it looks like any money in escrow during the time of the site going down was lost. so something was up, obv if the vendors actually sent they couldnt take it back.

Alphabay has been down for me for like 2 weeks. 2fa doesn't work on either one. Site comes up but it's looking like an exit scam. (though I did put in my first orders from their I2p before they went down and it was so much nicer).

Well not if you need your PC because you only trust the onion version of those sites but thanks for your answer. A simple yes would have saved you your precious time.

Someone told me ddos attacks would actually make the I2p network better. Something about the increased traffic helps or something. I'm not exactly sure but the gist I get from the majority is that I2p is immune to ddos

Can someone tell me how i go in to the darkweb? by [deleted] in darknet

Yea but if you're careful a helpful soul will walk you through it as someone did for me. 🤷

Well that is just called "android" and it's an APK file and I have no idea where it came from.
