OnionShare

OnionShare is listed among organisations that operate an official Tor onion service and publish proof of it on their own website.

Availability

Observed online

Recent checks reached a responding endpoint. This says nothing about who operates it.

Availability refers to the operator's official clearnet page. The hidden-service endpoint is not contacted.

Identity confidence

Low

The claim rests on a single source and identity has not been independently confirmed.

  • Supports confidence: Recently observed
  • Supports confidence: No unresolved identity conflicts
  • Supports confidence: Status history is consistent
  • Weakens confidence: Single-source claim
  • Weakens confidence: Identity cannot be independently confirmed

Availability and identity are assessed separately. A responding endpoint does not show that it is operated by the entity it claims to be. Why this matters

What it is

OnionShare appears in Real-World Onion Sites, a public list maintained by Alec Muffett of established organisations that run an onion service, under “Tech and Software”. The list currently records one onion service for it and only includes sites that can show a link between the onion address and the organisation.

The organisation publishes that proof on its own clearnet site, linked in the references. That page is also what automated availability checks on this profile refer to.

Where an official address is on file it is shown on this profile with its source; compare it with the organisation's own site before relying on it.

Impersonation and scam reports

Only reports confirmed by a reviewer are listed. A report describes lookalikes of this entity; it is not a statement about the entity itself.

No confirmed reports. That is an absence of reports, not a guarantee that no impersonators exist.

Evidence history

The most recent accepted observations. Each records whether something responded and, separately, whether identity was assessed.
