Summary

Removes two sites that are now fully behind Cloudflare challenge pages, causing 100% false positives.

Changes

  • Remove 1337xFixes False positive for: 1337x.to #2815. The site returns HTTP 403 with a Cloudflare JS challenge for all requests, making it impossible to distinguish between existing and non-existing users.
  • Remove GiphyFixes False positive for: Giphy #2734. Same issue: HTTP 403 Cloudflare challenge on all requests regardless of username validity.

Verification

Both sites tested via curl with standard User-Agent headers:

# 1337x - both return 403 Cloudflare challenge
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' 'https://www.1337x.to/user/FitGirl/'    → 403
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' 'https://www.1337x.to/user/fakeuser999/' → 403

# Giphy - both return 403 Cloudflare challenge  
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' 'https://giphy.com/red'        → 403
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' 'https://giphy.com/fakeuser99' → 403

Since both real and fake usernames return identical responses, these entries cannot provide accurate results and should be removed.

Both sites are now fully behind Cloudflare challenge pages,
returning HTTP 403 for all requests regardless of user existence.
This makes username detection impossible and produces 100% false
positives.
