Deep Web / Dark Web / Hidden Web

Bob Maxey

Android Expert
Any brave souls here that knows what a web site/page with a ".onion" extension likely knows TOR and knows that most of that which exists on the Internet cannot be indexed by Mr. Google, therefore, it is hidden from most people.

Any brave souls travel the dark waters known as the deep web?
 
No, never have, but how do you know where to go? You just start typing in random search terms or what?
 
just seen this post earlier today and i got to tell you the deep web is no place for children :) its a scary place out there. i was scared to click some links because of where they went (or where i thought they went)

Do tell, can you give us any examples?

I can. Lots of drug sales. Acid, coke, meth, magic mushrooms and the like. Lots of precursor chemicals and cocaine. All paid for with BitCoin. People advertising funded PayPal accounts, ads for hired killers (grain of salt time) hacking stuff, truly horrific porn (I will not begin to describe it, use your imagination) Serious hackers that apparently will go after you if you become a bother. Plenty of movies before they are released.

Lots of stuff.

TOR manages to hide your identity and when you incorporate payment by BitCoin, people become bolder in their dealings. Found a site the other day operated by someone who custom steals products from retail stores. About all he has for sale is a few used items and some crap nobody likely wants. Perhaps a scam, but one would think he would offer iPads and the like.

I would post screen shots, but I might be taken to task by a mod. Lets just say, lots of ways to get into trouble, so I advise look bot no see. You never know which three letter government agency is behind the bad stuff.

On the good side, lots of complex data and things to look at if you want to look for it.

Wow, had no idea. Not for me! Thanks for the enlightenment!

Not so fast. Considering just how big the hidden web is, and considering that the bad stuff is a tiny part of it all, you should at least learn your way around.

Lots to discover that Google will never tell you about.

Lots to discover that Google will never tell you about. For example?

Edit*****Found a lot of info: "TOR" onion.jpg
