The Deep Web

Post by OdinFire »

So I recently learned about the deep web and I'm interested in hearing about your experiences with it, knowledge, ect.

I'm to scared to go on it myself :I

Assuming you mean hidden services and/or i2p, there's nothing about it. It's just websites exactly like the regular web. The absolutely only difference is the protocol used to access those websites. I for example have made it a habit to always access facebook through their .onion, facebookcorewwwi.onion. It's still the exact same facebook everybody else uses, the only difference is how I access it. Just like if somebody uses facebook.us or whatever instead of facebook.com.

Also a fun fact: There is a simpvp Tor relay.

Ah, I mean like what did you find in what some people would refer to as the "deep web". I've heard many people have found quite gruesome things upon it.

Just regular websites.

I'm sure there are gruesome things, but exactly like the "regular" web you'll only find such things if you go looking for them.

Besides the occasional drug or gun dealing site it's pretty boring. Of course I've heard there's child porn but I've never gone looking for it. Just regular browsing you'll find yourself on some random neo-nazi or tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist guy's blog but that's about it.

So yeah Odin, if you're curious just go for it, there's nothing to be scared of. Just to say that you did.

On a side note, I know that Ulbricht was caught, but now it seems there's another Silk Road up and running. Seems suspicious, there's a big possibility that it's run by the Feds, but what do you think Yukar?

Honestly I haven't really been following it much, I remember there was a SR2 shortly after Ulbricht was busted, but then it was busted or closed or something.

Haven't there been several "Silk Roads" that share nothing but name with the original? Probably one of those, run by somebody who wants to make some quick money.

Yeah, I don't think I would risk ordering from it. Too fishy.
