About sci-hub.sh

We reviewed sci-hub.sh and found a mix of positive and cautionary signals. The site does not currently look like a confirmed scam, but the evidence is not strong enough to treat it as fully established either. The current trust score is 57/100. Key signals include drug-related sales or promotion signals, recent domain registration, and cryptocurrency content. Verify key details and recent independent feedback before relying on this site for important actions.

FAQ

Is sci-hub.sh safe?

Current analysis does not clearly confirm that sci-hub.sh is safe. Important context includes drug-related sales or promotion signals and recent domain registration. Independent verification is still recommended before relying on it.

Why does sci-hub.sh have mixed reputation signals?

Key factors include registrar information (NameCheap, Inc.), hosting in US, a relatively new domain (5 months), and content related to cryptocurrency and digital-asset services. Major malware and phishing engines did not report active blacklist detections at the time of review. The trust score blends security detections, domain and infrastructure signals, and on-page behavior patterns. Overall, this points to a mixed profile rather than a clearly safe one.
