Blog statistics for 2025
Dear readers,
I wish you a happy New Year 2026!
In 2025 I published 26 articles on this blog.
Statistics
In 2025 the blog served 355,108 pages (+57%) totalling 35.89 GB (+35%). I would say that a large part of the increase in traffic is due to artificial intelligence bots scraping the website.
By month

Full year 2025
Only the top 20 articles
Analysis
only 30% of the top 20 articles were published in 2025
30% of the top 20 articles are about macOS
the PCSC sample in C from 2010 is still in a strong position: 12th
pcsc_scan on Windows has dropped to 16th position (down from 6th in 2024)
I am surprised by the CCID driver and Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP) being in 8th position (up from 12th last year) position since it is a very niche use case
Conclusion
Last year, I asked people to contact me with suggestions for new subjects or tools. However, I received nothing.
