Deep Web: Go Dark and find what's hidden

Deep web, as interesting as it sounds, it contains everything that is hidden from the users, like assassin websites, FBI secret sites etc. While its interesting its pretty dangerous, it can contain viruses and can also hack your webcam. It contains 91000 terabytes, by comparison to the surface web sizes only about 167 terabytes. Do all these preparations beforehand.

  • First, I recommend to turn of javascript and cookies on your browser, enabling this would be very dangerous. Also, you might want to disconnect your webcam, just to make sure its not gonna be hijacked.
  • Don’t go around clicking every links you could see, always proceed carefully.
  • Some understandings of HTML/Javascript/PHP or any knowledge about internet and how it works somehow needed to ensure you are accessing a safe website.
  • If anything happens, DON’T PANIC. Disconnect your internet, clear your session and history, pretend nothing happened.
Now, get Tor bundle on http://torproject.org, you could choose to download the whole browser and Tor bundle, or you could download Tor and Vidalia bundle. Unzip the bundle, start it, and if you download the Vidalia bundle you have to configure your browser’s proxy to localhost port 8118. And that’s it! You are connected to Tor network, to start exploring deep web, start with going to .onion entry point (eqt5g4fuenphqinx.onion), the TorDir (dppmfxaacucguzpc.onion) or The Hidden Wiki (kpvz7ki2v5agwt35.onion). And that’s it, have fun and stay safe.

You can search Wikipedia for more info.
