    Sorry man I have no time or will to do this. All communications I send involving the black market communities will be via this reddit account and this reddit account only. This is simply for my safety.

    I was putting this here in the hopes that someone else would link them. Trust me, this is not helping the feds. The feds are not idiots, they wouldn't miss something like a web header. And unlike SR, which was based in the US, for Sheep the NSA can claim a right to be involved as it is a foreign marketplace conspiring to import drugs into the US (and slap on "aiding terrorism too!"). When the NSA can claim the right to be involved the heat is on.

    I'm sorry you feel that this doesn't help much, but these kinds of messages are the full extent of what I wish to contribute.

      Fair enough. As much as a part of me wishes I could do more I'm not at the point where I can expose myself to that amount of risk. Keep on keepin on guys, as long as we keep learning we'll be fine.

      Is there something inherent in PHP which means badness for we non-tech folks?

      Early SR had similar issues, which were supposedly fixed.... be careful.

      Plot twist : no framework, fake leaks.

      Hey I know this is long dead, but I am curious, what kind of education does it take to know the stuff you do. Thanks.

      [–]imakechili[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      If you're serious about security I would recommend at least a Master's in computer engineering. If you're looking for specific educational advice I would say make sure you go to a top ten school in your field. Otherwise make sure you stand out from those around you and you will be fine.

      My credentials are only an undergraduate degree from a top three American institution with a specialization in computer security (among other things). Despite this security is not my chosen career, so do take anything I say with a grain of salt as there is much that I do not know.

      If you have any specific questions about this let me know.

      edited for stupidity.

      Rest assured that the FBI and NSA have already performed a far more thorough attack vector analysis.

      Rest assured that the FBI and NSA already have UC's in place at both sites.

      FTFY

      Noooooo. Cops wouldn't really sell hundreds of pounds of drugs and then make selective busts.

      It's not like they did anything like that before the internet was a thing.

      If they could get shut down that quickly you didn't want to be spending money there anyway.

      Security through obscurity never worked

      [–]smurfix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      No, but compare that to the physical world. Leaving a spare key under a rock in your back yard is the equivalent of security through obscurity. Posting a sign "my spare house key is under the rock in the back yard" in front of your house is the equivalent of leaving your Apache and PHP and whatnot version numbers all over the place. In other words, it's a very bad idea. Just like the burglar doesn't have to check all the hiding places around all the houses as soon as he sees that sign, you don't need to probe for vulnerabilities (which might trigger suspicious log entries) when you see these version numbers. You just go and crack the thing.
