Record number twenty one

And we’re back. Happy New Year, everyone. I’m afraid it’s been busy for me, what with the hidden service I was linked to – but I should get back to where I was.

Nbmusiduwny76o7i.onion

I can reveal the link now, knowing that by the time this post goes out the hidden service will probably be dead. Hopefully, I won’t be.

December 18th, 2013. Of course I’d tried before that, but I could never connect to anything – there was no site there.

Three forty PM, December 18th. Everything changed.

The page loaded and I frowned in surprise. I was staring at a poster starring my face, and the words “FBI’s Most Wanted”. I’ve had better starts to my afternoon, to be honest.

Scrolling down beneath the image, I found a few lines of text.

Ryan, we know who you are. We know everything that has taken place. The Fifth Level, hacking our servers, poking your nose places where you shouldn’t have.

They gave you up, Ryan. Marie, Proton, everyone who you thought you could trust.

The picture you saw above will be the front page of every newspaper in your country and ours. You will be hunted down; the judge or jury will not spare you.

Unless, of course, you choose to comply.

Units have been dispatched to Britain. We will meet you. Your family have been ‘informed’, and will not prevent you. Leave peacefully, or not at all.

You have three days. Make your choice wisely.

I opened the image in a new tab, intending to save it as some kind of evidence. The site’s programmers were, unfortunately, too intelligent for me. Both tabs immediately closed, and on reopening Tor the link found nothing. A one-time website.

So I’m setting up this post. It’s December 20th as I’m writing this. Does anyone remember the concept of a dead man’s handle, for trains? If the train driver faints or has a heart attack and can’t control the train, but still has their foot down or hand on the wheel, there’s a safety mechanism to stop the crash.

I don’t claim to know how it works, but the idea behind it is useful. If the FBI, if it’s really them (the UK isn’t their jurisdiction, but I suppose their servers are), do try to ‘bring me in’ tomorrow, I’ll run a file. That file will check if I’m active on the computer and can enter a certain passcode. If I’m inactive for long enough, it will run a PHP script I adapted from an email spam bomber and embedded in a webpage under another name, to send an email containing the post to a certain email address. Thus the post will get published. I don’t know if they’re watching the site, so let’s just hope it gets through. If anyone can help, do. We need to be careful. Prepare your own safety systems, your own dead man’s handle, just in case the authorities come knocking. Who knows if they’ll target readers?

So, if you’re reading this, I have been taken in. Wish me luck, and hope like I am hoping that this won’t be my last post.

Ryan (BlueAdept) out.

P.S. If you’re interested in making your own dead man’s handle, the original script I worked off is below.

<?php

$i =1;

do {

mail(“bomb@this.com”, "yoursubject", "yourmessage", "From: your@mail.com");

} while ($i > 0);

?>
