Skygaze monitors the Sia network and tries to detect Skynet download activity.
When given a skylink, a Skynet portal will talk to most of the hosts on the Sia network in an attempt to find the associated skyfile. This project therefore uses a modified Sia host to listen for incoming sector requests, then tries to reconstruct the associated skylink and fetches its metadata. The collected information is provided to the user via a telnet-like server.
To self-host: Patch the Sia source code (see folder patches), compile and run
siad and configure it as a host and as a Skynet portal. Take note of the
directory that siad is running in - let's say it is ~/sia. In that case run:
go run main.go ~/sia/skygaze.sock. Connecting to port 8023 should now provide
access to Skygaze output:
$ nc localhost 8023
