Do you surf the "Deep Web" ?

I have been there. Mostly, I heard that it was being used in the Arab spring and I thought it might be interesting to see how first hand.

Of course, finding things on onion/tor/dark web is like going back 20 years. The closest thing to a search engine are link farms like the ancient origins of Yahoo. Half the links are broken, some permanently and others only temporarily. It looks like lots of the sites hosted there are done on basement servers that are not always on.

Tor’s website spouts lots of noble-sounding BS about how good it is for freedom lovers and reporters and people who just want privacy, but mostly it looks like a hangout for criminals. It is slow, archaic and not very useful for anything else.

Not true. It’s useful in scouting out the servers that are attacking you, without letting on that you know you’re being attacked.

When I first heard about Silk Road I went to take a look to see if it were real or media sensationalism. I haven’t been back.

this quote is so vague that I think that I could use all of the Smileys and they would all work.

Silk Road was an illegal online marketplace on the dark web. It was shut down by the FBI.

And it served as a good example of “You may be hidden and do things out of sight, but if you’re sloppy, once, there’s enough logging and evidence and metadata that you stand a good chance of getting caught…if you do so from a location with extradition treaties.”

It’s an interesting story…The Untold Story of Silk Road, Part 1 | WIRED

The regular web is pretty darn dark already. That’s more than enough for me.

Interesting story: Back in the mid 90’s, I was in a dark web chat room, and ran into none other than Cecil himself, which is quite a laugh, considering we had just been to a George Michaels party together the weekend before.

I know.

I have the skillz to install and run the software to access it. I do not want to know at all what is there. Nope. Not one bit.
