Scraped The Other Plaice for TE documents and images

Post by tggzzz »

Looks like someone has scraped EEVBlog Forum to extract links to test equipment documents etc. That means all the, say, Tek1502 stuff is in one directory and easier to find using the eevblog search farcility

https://docs.ampnuts.ru/eevblog.docs/

Go up a directory and other places have been scraped too.

My Netgear Amour program blocked that site as potential malware. You may want to scan your computer.

Worth knowing. Only spotted PDFs and JPGs.

Browser plugins uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker both blocked matomo.js and didn't indicate any other javascript running. Privacy Badger spotted nothing

Running linux, so scanners are limited. I'd be curious about which linux scanners are worthwhile

If you're running Linux you're probably OK. Windose 11 here and that Netgear program is built into my router so it never got near this computer.

It's probably fine. Those things go off all the time like the paranoid crackies they are.

Good to know it was ripped off though.

It's a Russian domain; that gives it a better than 50% chance of being a scam site to start with
