- `storage/termbin-com` | fails-quota | evidence reported | binding none | category anonymous-dump
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://termbin.com
- free tier: approx. 1 MB per paste, no account, no count limit. Measured: 1,000,000 bytes stored and retrievable; 2,400,000 bytes -> connection reset. | unit: MB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: free direct GET over HTTPS, plain text, no metering. | metered: no
- identity: anonymous
- interface: rest
- limits note: ~1 MB per paste; no expiry documented; no delete path; no listing.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: plain TCP: `nc termbin.com 9999` returns the URL on the socket. Works with any netcat, and with bash /dev/tcp where nc is absent (used for the probes here).
- composes with: unlimited pastes x ~1 MB. Its distinguishing property is that it needs no HTTP client and no TLS — a raw TCP sink. Useful as an out-of-band manifest/credential store, useless as a bulk tier.
- reliability: Oversize input is dropped by resetting the connection mid-write, not by an error message — a user sees 'Connection reset by peer' and any partial data is lost. Random 4-5 char slugs, so URLs are guessable.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
  - dead_end.why: approx. 1 MB per paste, no account, no count limit. Measured: 1,000,000 bytes stored and retrievable; 2,400,000 bytes -> connection reset.
  - dead_end.first_recorded: 2026-10-21
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-21: 'echo just testing! | nc termbin.com 9999' -> 'https://termbin.com/test'; returns a URL on the socket
  - [2] 2026-10-21: probe: printf ... >&3 to /dev/tcp/termbin.com/9999 -> ; GET -> 200
  - [3] 2026-10-21: probe: 1,000,000-byte payload -> , GET bytes=1000000; 2,400,000-byte payload -> cat: write error: Connection reset by peer
