What Is UnblockNinja?

UnblockNinja (unblockninja.com) is a proxy service that unblocks the most trafficked torrent sites. When using UnblockNinja, it creates subdomains for the torrent sites you browse on the same unblockninja.com site, so they’re all as safe as each other. For instance, torrentgalaxy.unblockninja.com automatically has the same overall grade as the unblockninja.com domain, et cetera. As of August 2013, the site unblockninja.com has an estimated 2.6 million monthly views. The Wayback Machine estimates unblockninja.com was founded on August 2, 2008. The Internet Archive has saved the domain unblockninja.com 153 times between August 2, 2008 and July 29, 2023.

Common UnblockNinja domains:

  • eztv.unblockninja.com
  • kickasstorrents.unblockninja.com
  • thepiratebay.unblockninja.com

Is UnblockNinja Safe?

I analyzed unblockninja.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam. Here are the results:

Sucuri says the site unblockninja.com is a medium security risk because the scan failed on the URL http://unblockninja.com/ due to a 403 Forbidden error.

Some hardening improvements can be made:

  • Missing security header to prevent Content Type sniffing.
  • Missing Strict-Transport-Security security header.
  • Missing Content-Security-Policy directive. We recommend to add the following CSP directives (you can use default-src if all values are the same): script-src, object-src, base-uri, frame-src

However, these hardening improvements don’t impact the Sucuri grade.

To check this further I ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on the site unblockninja.com and it says the page is suspicious. You can see the same here: https://unmask.sucuri.net/security-report/?page=unblockninja.com

Unmask Parasites cites 1 suspicious inline script:

I also checked the site unblockninja.com on VirusTotal and it is flagged as malicious by Seclookup and Webroot. You can see the same here: VirusTotal scan for the site unblockninja.com.
