Title: Question about safet of USB Darknet
Post by: torchlight on September 23, 2012, 05:35 pm
I have always been leary of downloads from SR out of fear it could easily be a trap from LE. 

My question is about Darknet &.Extreme Darknet USB Flash drives, for example the ones for sale on SR by uglysurfer.  I like the idea of having everything on a flash drive but are they safe? How do I know it isnt LE sending it to me?

Senior members your input is greatly appreciated.

They are not safe and very well could be infested with key loggers, bitcoin stealers, or any number of things that could de-anomize you.

It is not hard to make your own boot-able USB stick or cd/dvd. Look into it, you safety should be of the highest importance to you and not something you leave up to an unknown.
