With a tool called mkp224o it is possible to generate custom .onion domains
You can get the tool from github with the following command

Code

git clone https://github.com/cathugger/mkp224o

To build the program, download some requirements before

Code

apt install gcc libsodium-dev make autoconf

Then run the following to autmatically generate a configuration script

Code

./autogen.sh

Then use the newly created configure script

Code

./configure

To finish the whole setup process, compile it (run this command within the folder)

Code

make

When all the steps above have been successful, you can use the command like this, in order to generate a custom .onion

Code

./mkp224o X

X in this case stands for everything you would want your domain to start with
It should be clear that the longer the string is, the harder it will be to generate
A rough estimation of the time it takes for x characters to generate I found online:

1  | less than 1 second   
2  | less than 1 second   
3  | less than 1 second 
4  | 2 seconds   
5  | 1 minute   
6  | 30 minutes   
7  | 1 day   
8  | 25 days 
9  | 2.5 years 
10 | 40 years 
11 | 640 years 
12 | 10 millenia 
13 | 160 millenia 
14 | 2.6 million years

You see, anything more than 8 characters is close to impossible with a regular computer
Still, I find this to be pretty awesome thing and thought I might share it!

Doesn't facebook own a fully custom v2 address?

Thanks for the kind words :)
It seems to be pretty custom, yes, but if I am not mistaken it is something like facebookcorewwi, maybe they just looked for facebook and other words that seem to be custom?

facebookcorewwwi.onion - And yeah, I bet they used multiple words and got really really lucky.
