Lotsa illegal and stolen docs posted and for sale, Be careful site is monitored

Cryptome's been hacked several times to infect their visitors with malware and the site leaked their logs and user IP for years. There's illegal content like how to destroy critical infrastructure and hacking and OpSec guides for Islamic radicals. I wouldn't trust this site.

An archive of documents relating to the government and its activities.
Many of the documents are in pdf form and can be downloaded.
Like Wikileaks, you may not like what you read, or even believe it possible,
but it speaks to the heart of our freedoms, to be able to read for ourselves
and vet the sources and decide what to believe.

Be very careful here, as Cryptome hosts documents that may be classified by the government, and therefore by reading them you could be breaking the law.
One big plus is that there are no cookies and no JavaScript unless necessary for something (like the search function).

One of my favorite security new site.

Well, it's no Stormfront, but it still is, essentially, an illegal-material heavy site. Whether that bothers or inspires you is your call.

Great site.Although often secret material is published and therefor law is broken it gives truth & facts a chance to be published

Excellent site, rated slightly lower in child safety because of the occasional use of profanity, and graphic images (violent only, not sexual).

Very good purpose. Got shut down but now by cache pages.

Do you want the truth? Here's the first place to look for it! Actual government documents are posted here, that show you exactly what is occurring. Great site!
