Note that it's not illegal to go on the dark web. I've never been on it myself as I don't have a need to but there are some legit purposes for it. That being said I just saw a story about how the FBI, CIA various local law enforcement, NSA among others are heavily monitoring "the dark web" and have shut down a lot of the more nefarious sites with child porn, drugs and even as mundane as copyrighted materials etc to the point where there have been many many successful prosecutions and shut downs. By the tone of the story the dark web sounds more like that slightly shady part of town that you'd just as soon not go to but not near as bad as what it's made out to be.
s No because its illegal.. but i am curious to see whats on there.. but i've heard its very bad.
I've been on there before. It's filled with the kind of stuff that people wouldn't post on the internet. It's fairly private on there so when you go on the TOR network or any other like it, there's a lot of secret chat rooms and child porn for sale and hackers for hire. All sorts of scams like counterfeit currency that you can buy. Would probably never show up if you bought it.
But that is also the place that a lot of crime really does take place. Just happens in private chat rooms that you probably have to be told about in person.
Yeah I have it's easy to access... Of course it's bad but you don't actually see the images straight away like in the normal web.. You get a onion url links.. Made up seemingly random numbers and letters... The description would say what kind of stuff is in that url
example
-buy fake passports
-child pornography
-hire a gun man to assassinate someone
-leaked government documents (wikileaks has been there long before it surfaced)
-all sort of stuff
It's a very large world with thriving community

I have used the 'deep' web before and still use it. "Marianas Web" or whatever it's called is made up and ridiculous, these creepy stories on youtube are all completely over dramatised for views/likes and subscribers. Although it is safe, there really is no use to going on it to explore as everything you need is right there on the surface web.
If you do decide to go on the deep web and are concerned or paranoid for whatever reason, keeping your window windowed and using a VPN should help. Although an attack on the deep web is almost as likely on the normal web anyway.
lol, this pic is plain stupid. all these wannabe hackers try to over-complicate things and try to act as god but are $hit. (BTW i am talking about pic, just random shit typed)
1. Dark web is nothing but the sites you can't google just it , nothing else
2. Never enjoyed it, it has nothing special about it, for example, You know you're not available to looked up by random people (aka Google) so you try to do something illegal (mostly) else what's the use of this secrecy?
I usually spend my time at level 2 planning on going at level 3,
My younger brother who just began going to high school is at level 4 and we both are planning to infiltrate level 48 in this summer.
This thread is bound to be a geek magnet. Prepare for the swarm!
i dowload games for free from a dark web site. but i usually stay away from onion sites or the one with no https:// the internet has lots of viruses and there are sites that might redirect you to a hacker's ip, even normal porn sites are dangerous.
i avoid this kind of stuff and i recommend you to do the same, go on youtube. oh, wait, youtube can be hacked as well...
I have and it's not dangerous unless you do anything fishy. But there all kinds of sketchy shit. There different sections where you can see and access illegal stuff. There are sites like an eBay for illegal drugs weapons etc. Child porn is also easily accessible. And notice why I'm answering anonymously lol.
Its filled with all sorts of databases of seemingly useless crap. Social networking sites, arms dealers, drug dealing sites, illegal libraries with DRM free books, hacking services. Also things that are too taboo for the regular web, and all sorts of taboo forums too.
It's pretty fucked up. I heard people say that when they surfed the deep web that they found child pornography and gory pictures. It's something i don't plan on looking into.
I never even tried it. I don't want to get on police lists.
A lot of it is drugs or buying id or bank details.
Unless you're after something it's pretty boring.
Never tried that. I will see may... beeee... or maybe not... Lol I dont know.
Nope and don't intend to.
nope. nothing more than level 2.
One more reason to procrastinate
that shit is too damn horror
what is it?
yea I have. once
Its for criminals and shady losers
captain?
