The url also sets off so many alarm bells for me. Lol
Yeah lol the URL doesn't match the page title which doesn't match whatever
wosonhj.com
is. According to their DNS, some Chinese organization.It links to a fake version of libgen populated with ads
(And sadly instead of re-hosting all 550+ TB of libgen for downloads they force the downloads through libgen's servers while throwing ads on top of their fake UI)
It links to a fake version of sci hub populated with ads
(Most of these all flowing into mobang.top, another throwaway url with Chinese DNS)
I'm sure it's a helpful site, but I'd recommend people accessing it:
Realistically you should follow steps 1-5 for most online services, but here we are
It used to be at that URL, and that URL redirects to it. They recently updated it and I am unsure where they are taking it.
It makes sense to use throwaway urls, libgen does it all the time, I just wanted to inform people of what I found when looking at the site. Definitely not saying don't use it, just be cautious
(Just contexualising.) :)
