Quote from: lokiju on March 26, 2013, 11:58 pmThanks Pine, I should have had clearnet warnings on my post. I won't put up more links like that. Hi Astor, I went to the onion link Tor and uploaded OK, but how do you link to there? It says 'allowed types' rar and zip. Mine were pdf, so maybe it didn't work?Thanks for the link, I've got a lot of books I'd like to reference online.Hi lokiju, it doesn't matter whether the link comes from filternet or darknet, www or the tor network, what matters is whether the file has a 'call home' function, either as a result of remote data embedded into the file e.g. like a call to a serverside image which you then download via your real IP address when you open the file (uh oh), or a more sophisticated deanonymizing exploit devised by a LE malware developer.I recommend to the readers of your files you're uploading that they follow my instructions for setting up a non-networked virtual machine so that they can read the information without worrying about such things. This is like a special container or sandbox where you can stick any kind of file, even ones with viruses, and it won't affect your real machine. Digital equivalent of a glass jar for your bugs. It's not 100% perfect, but it's a long way preferable to opening files you download which were linked to on a drug forum.If you want to do something to improve things, I suggest you checksum each file and put the result next to each filename in your post on SRF. That way if the file is modified by LE agents this can be discovered by people checking the checksum. However your readers using a virtual machine to read files is still preferable since anybody can be a LE agent. The only issue is whether your readers are tech enough to grasp the purpose of the checksum, so... you can upload pdfs to file sharing websites which display the file as a webpage. Then nobody is downloading a file and delivering an exploit is extremely difficult if you visit that page using Tor with JavaScript turned off. Just images and text, no actionable dynamic content.-- Agent Pine
