|
|
Someone told me about a site called www.blackhat-forums.com
I was just wondering a couple things about it. Is the site safe to go to? Like on my Mozilla Firefox I have Web of Trust...and it shows up as being a safe website. But is it? I'm SUPER paranoid with this kind of stuff. |

I have WOT too, if you look at the scorecard it seems to show it as a safe site - multiple reviews too (rating rather, not too many comments). |

For the super-paranoid, you can run your browser as an alternative user (such as "guest"). Though that assumes you are on a multi-user OS, that your browser runs as a user process, and there are no browser exploits with privilege escalation. |
