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.
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.
We are a team of security experts who cultivate a collaborative
community where developers and security professionals come together to
secure open source software.
Enhance security by fostering global collaboration.
Contributions from maintainers, developers, and security researchers
around the world push us forward, making the open source software a
better place.
Security Research
We do the hard work, you can use it.
Dive into security research on open-source projects to explore new and
emerging threats, and learn how to mitigate them so that you can make
your own software more secure.
Join us in our mission to improve open source security for all
Have you used CodeQL’s variant analysis to find vulnerabilities on open
source projects? Give your work the visibility it deserves by submitting
your finding for the CodeQL Wall of Fame.
While CVEs identify vulnerabilities, they don’t tell the whole
story. Entries in the GitHub Advisory database expand beyond
identification to include additional context and details to
support automated security tooling – sourced from a global
community of security experts and curated by the Security Lab – to
help you understand vulnerabilities, assess risk, and fix with
confidence and efficiency.
