The following links are dead/unreachable and I don't know about a replacement:

http://www.kryptologikum.de/	Times out (unavailable?)	org.jcryptool.games.zudoku	Website owner contacted, planned to be restored

Notes:

I found this paper which may the the one originally referenced by the IBM link: http://kddlab.zjgsu.edu.cn:7200/web/research/PrivacySecurity/344-stocdhe.pdf
According to archive.org the website of kryptologikum.de was available in January 2022. Was it only taken down recently*

Two links are now on an ignore list (located in a separate text file ignored_links.txt) which are basically available per browser but the script can't fetch them.

That leaves only kryptologikum.de unavailable, for which the site owner has already been contacted.

All other external links should be working now and we can check with the script in the future. @simlei The script now also has meaningful return values (0 if all links reachable, 1 if any link was unavailable) so it can run easily in a batch job (e.g. in the CI/CD pipeline).
