Is superproxy dot crushus dot com slash bbs.archlinux.org legit?

l0b0 · 2017-09-08 09:39:44

When searching for the literal string '"arch linux" "Unknown eventid: 90118" ath10k_pci' on Google I got a result pointing to https://superproxy dot crushus dot com slash bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=228793 (obfuscated to avoid referencing them). It looks identical to the original, and has a valid certificate, so I almost submitted my forum credentials there. Are they affiliated with Arch Linux?

Nope. But, they appear to be attempting to be a workaround for those who live places that block or censor our site. They seem to be a proxy; they pick up changes on this site as fast as they happen.
They are probably benign (except in the eyes of those doing censoring of sites). Their DNS record looks reasonable and fully populated with seeming legitimate data

Edit: That said, I would not post my credentials there. First and foremost, my credentials could do damage to this site. But, this site could certainly be a man-in-the-middle and could do anything it wanted with your credentials (Well, your username/password credentials. Other parts of the Arch Linux infrastructure use Public Key Encryption and would be less subject to a MITM attack)

Edit2: Morning fsckd; we were posting at the same time again

It is a web proxy by the looks of it. You should never enter your credentials to a web proxy unless you're OK with them being intercepted.
