This is how you know it’s a honeypot now
Wouldnt someone need to be hosting a ton of exit nodes for that to work?
How you think they got Silk Road?
The only time I used TOR mode in Brave was to do download some obscure old 32 bit iPhone IPA games which was an onion link
didnt the silk road guy use his IRL name for it somewhere and was bragging about it in someway, I remember reading that he didnt have any opsec at all
Oh shit I was not aware of that…also I found out that an fib agent was able to get in under the username “iceman”
They've gotten a number of people operating Tor sites through things like tracing crypto transactions and web hosting mistakes. One example I heard was a site that was hosted in Tor, but the images were hosted on a home server straight over the internet instead of through Tor.
