Reddit, what's your deep web story?

Disclamer, I'll keep a lot of these stories lighthearted, but do keep in mind that the

further you go into the dark web, the more stuff you'll find that will absolutely land you

in prison.

If you don't know what you're doing, stay off of the dark web.

With that being said, please enjoy the video.

The majority of these stories will all be the same, because they all come from people

who downloaded Tor and when exploring or browsing.

The vast majority have found the hidden wiki and clicked on some links.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding here of what the dark web is designed to do.

Those links from the hidden wiki and other point-and-click

entry sites are designed to be found. The most obvious are the darknet markets. They want customers.

They put their URLs out there. They list themselves on the wiki and other tour directories.

They don't want the sites to be hidden, just the owners slash servers.

If you were to go to one of the directories that crawls and links all the live URLs you can

find, most of them will be listed as unknown. Some will take you to a site you can look at anyway,

but a lot of them will take you to a page where it simply asks for your credentials before you can

go any further. There's nothing else.

No link to register, no FAQ, no indication of what is behind that password login. The whole

idea of TOR's hidden services is that they are hidden from anybody who doesn't have the credentials

to get into them. You have to get them in some other way. There's no referral links being spammed on

Reddit or the Intel Exchange or general access forums. Some of these sites may be safe havens
