    Summary

    Dodi Repacks is a site known for distributing pirated games. It has a reputation for being safe or trustworthy on several piracy forums, where users frequently claim that using an adblocker like uBlock Origin ensures a secure experience. To test this assertion, a team attempted to download a game crack from the site with uBlock Origin enabled in the browser. Despite the adblocker being active throughout the process, the experience disproved the common belief circulated on piracy forums that "you're safe when downloading pirated content as long as you use an adblocker."
