Let's not forget one of the best approaches for indexing magnet hashes: https://btdig.com . It basically connects to the DHT and listens to queries. When a new one is found, it downloads the torrent data and indexes it.
If you’re interested in building a minimum viable scrapper, this is a good reference: https://github.com/retrohacker/Taboo/blob/main/lib/index.js
The trick to content discovery on the DHT is to parrot any incoming request you receive. So if someone asks for a hash or announces a hash, you turn around and ask for that hash too. You can spin up multiple DHT nodes to increase your coverage of the table.
Some cool user experiences can be built off of this. I’ve discovered a tonne of interesting content using “BitTorrent Roulette” applications that download random hashes from the DHT - often times finding fascinating content from languages I don’t speak.
Well I'd guess I might be the naive, given the ample amount of honey pots and such
The ratio of this content on the DHT is so incredibly low you’re very unlikely to pull it. I never have, and I’ve resolved a metric tonne of random torrent hashes.
You do find content labeled as such - but it’s either password protected rars (I suspect the password is to remove plausible deniability? Idk what’s inside these rars, I obviously don’t have the password and I immediately shred them when they do fall out of the roulette wheel - I’m not interested in trying to break into them) or a honeypot with a government agency video advertising a support hotline. I’ve noticed a government in LatAm has a lot of honeypot content on the public BitTorrent DHT. It’s a guy sitting at a desk in front of the state flag advertising an anonymous support hotline.
I have, however found some ethically questionable things. Dumps of credit card info, sus military schematics written in an Eastern European language, etc.
Ethics aside - if you live in the United States, more than 90% of what falls out of the Roulette Wheel is going to be strictly illegal because of copyright law. Downloading random hashes from the DHT is not something I’d suggest doing from a computer that can easily be traced back to your identity. I summarize this in the README of Taboo: https://github.com/retrohacker/taboo
It's a shame they use recaptcha, it's means it's impossible to script searches with something like Jackett.
Neither, I think it's a cylon.
I am up for collaborating and sharing.

They might want to put those hints behind a NSFW warning; just my .2c.
