Is ibuntumain.github.io legit or a scam?
A brand-new, unpublished GitHub Pages site claiming to host a custom Linux distribution with no established reputation or developer history.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary

Domain was registered only 0 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. Several risk indicators suggest caution. This site might be legitimate — but treat it as unverified until you can independently confirm.
Website Preview

Automated page render — captured in a safe sandbox. What an ordinary visitor would see when loading the site.
MT Intelligence
The domain was registered or first seen today, which is a significant risk factor for any site offering software downloads. While the page content describes a 'Debian-based Linux' project, our research found that the live URL currently returns a 404 'Site not found' error. This indicates the project is either in a pre-deployment phase or was taken down. There is no business registration or official documentation linked to this specific 'ibuntu' project. Without a track record or community verification, downloading operating system images from such a source carries a high risk of bundled malware.
