Just wondering if anyone on here has had much experience of the dark web/deep web at all, in the past or still use it for whatever reason? I personally have not used it much but for some reason it fascinates me. Is it all just dodgy stuff or is it mostly boring papers and uninteresting things no one really cares about?

Interested in peoples opinions and experiences on it :)
 
:D

As I suspected then. When I tried to use it ,Soundboys description was very apt. Smoke and mirrors basically and I was just taken in circles for half an hour.

I'm talking about entry and exit points assume all exit points to the clear web are monitored - this is a given even if we monitor a hop down. Then why on earth do you also want to proxy the entry - dumbest idea ever.

So for anonymity forget using tor but for accessing hidden services and keeping traffic inside that's where it shines.

If anonymity to the real web is your goal then I would probably go down the route of message queueing inside tor which are delivered at random long after you've disconnected.

I think this is what people need to realise. Keep all traffic inside Tor - do not exit under any circumstances.

Had a browse through it last night mate. Just wondering actually, say I go for a wander using Tor and end up in a red room. Now,this is all hyperthetical as I have zero intentions of doing this but I am interested in this related topic...would I get into trouble for this?

Again please let me stress I have no desire to do this just thinking out loud really

You'd probably need a damn good excuse as to why you were using Tor in the first place and how you managed to click through so much of it you ended up on a child porn site. Using it as a tool to get around IP bans, or keep traffic hidden to circumvent government monitoring tools will never, in a million years, require you to use it in a manner that you'd end up browsing child porn.

More trouble comes your way though, if you host a relay or exit node and undesirable traffic passes through it.

From what I understand its not child porn however,that is irrelevant as it was a just example I used. What I meant was its a snuff site (I think) so is the act of watching one on their site illegal considering the content and the fact they are breaking the law to make it?

So is the use of the tor browser itself frowned upon? Thanks for the answers by the way :)

I added "vile stuff" to include snuff and whatever else.

The US government developed TOR at the Naval Research Labs and they opened sourced it. It's their creation. The only thing illegal about using it is using it for illegal purposes. Now, when Western governments start making TOR illegal to get around filters and bans they've put in place to criticise them and their policies, we'll have problems.

Understood and cheers. Feel like Ive learnt loads over the last day or so about something I will now never use :D
