i've bought a few fake stuffs online simply because i was gambling on the chances that the seller could be authentically honest, decent person.
Me too, I bought a "gaming chair" for $14 and free shipping on ebay about a year ago, it never showed up. Paypal gave me my money back though. -

The red flags are the fact the source code is heavily obfuscated, and the fact you're just supposed to take someone's word for it. If i were to send you offensive security tooling i wouldn't obfuscate the source code. But the onus is still kind of on you if you can't read the source. -

Either way the sysadmin isn't going to resort to some bullshit 'dark web' arbitration as Aldra suggested
That's great, but if the backup doesn't copy the right stuff, or copy all the stuff, or is in the wrong format, or is encrypted and needs a key no one knows, or is keeping a differential backup which winds up getting messed up and corrupted, or itself is on a drive which gets encrypted by the ransomware, then none of that will help.
There is also the configuration needed to get things working with each other again.
People think "oh I'm backed up", but they need to do a test restore from backup before they can be really confident. They should also be doing some sort of remote and offline backups too, not just relying on an external hard drive or whatever.
I once worked at a place where some techy had some shitty backup solution for an accounting database. It was based on copying the database file, from the filesystem, while the database was running... Obviously a lousy idea. The database crashed, and the backups, which went back months, were all unusable.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2021-12-20 at 5:10 PM UTCSomeone isn't doing the job they are paid to do if paying the ransomware guy or going to a dark web "court" is the solution of choice.
Just the facts ma'am. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson eh? I think we are using term "dark web" loosely here…cracked software is readily available on the "light" web. Dark web is for selling people, guns, drugs, assassinations etc…not for selling cracked copies of angry birds.
well the entire reason this thread was made was because of people going to court on a forum for selling cracked software that was really ransomware.. so idk you tell me? -

Any sysadmin worth his salt will have a backup he can restore from rather than having to go through some darkweb "court" shit show.
you keep trying to argue the fact that none of this happens that i mention, yet im mentioning it because it did happen.. so how about stop trying to play so naive, and act like every single person is based on how you portray them, and use your brain a bit more with opened ended thinking. it might actually get you somewhere in conversations instead of irrelevant comments on a topic that you clearly either dont have the intelligent to search about yourself, nor care to look into.
you only are making yourself look the fool -

the first rule of getting cracked wares is to not pay a single cent for it.
if peoole are paying for cracked software then theyre doing it wrong. -

i agree, thats why the entire situation about going to court over stuff you shouldnt be paying for is pretty stupid in itself. -
