    Sounds like the security community working together to minimize the effectiveness of a hacking community.

      I was thinking that. Flood the market with fakes to deter the average skript kiddie

        The logic is a little problematic, because it also means you mislead ordinary users, and honestly the infosec industry has a conflict of interest as well.

          I disagree in the infosec conflict of interest. Flooding might even be a product in some vendor.

            …well of course it’s beneficial to their product, and a detriment against everyone else, which is why I called it a conflict of interest.

            Either that, or you used the wrong word. Care to elaborate?

      I see more spambots trying to monetize on desperate people. People try the link in the password field, that goes in a rabbit hole of concatenated ad.fly link “shorteners” that only show endless ads

    This site was great for like a year. Then it got spammed to shit like every other coupon/deal site with expired or fake deals, or just garbage. It wasn’t even worth trying to find a single working code or account. I’d forgotten this site even existed I haven’t used it in such a long time.

    This website worked for me once, a bang bus credential.

    Never found anything else it worked for, and the bang bus credential lasted for maybe 6 days.

    I agree, fuck scribd. I usually google “scribd free online downloader”, there’s a site (or maybe several sites, idc, I just use the first one) which allows you to somehow avoid the stupid paywall and registration
