Doesn’t dread’s captcha force you to check the url? Afaik it makes you fill in specific parts of the url, so that you check that the url you are using is the same one they are using. Curious how the mirror was able to bypass that.
Regardless I just spent some initial investment saving the pgp public keys and making sure they are legit, so that I can use them to verify dread’s mirrors.txt whenever needed. Faster than walking out to the street imo
I entered it into tor browser, no captcha was shown and I landed directly on the site/mirror.
The one post I read, something concerning validation and opsec on markets or dreadforum, had an explanation that if the text they wrote in hyphens differed from the url right under it I was already viewing a mirror, as they spelled out a link.
That was true, the url shown was darkmyurl dot com instead of the actual link spelled out hyphenated.
I was humbled, and have now learned that even asking for the true php keys from you right now is submitting to defeat. The only good opsec seems to be your own
Fake money probably, it allows me to easily buy drugs from online.
I tried looking at dreadforum to see how markets work nowadays and found out in a minute I was viewing a mirror that was injecting links
I think I’ll just ask a dude on the street at this point
But then again I am in a country where that would work with 0 negative consequences for me as the user

It’s my first actual visit, and I did what apparently is the obvious faux pas
I googled for dreadforum link, was pointed towards one shown at https://dreadforum.io/
