Resource Dark web idiot guide

[Rachel74]

I'm a bit thick when it comes to the dark web and buying from it can we please have an idiot guide on it please.

I've never purchased anything on there (only window shopped), but here are the basics:

-Download the Tor Browser: this allows you to access deepweb sites.

-Get a reliable VPN (virtual privacy network): gives you a fake IP address so you can't be tracked. There are a ton of these out there, the best ones need to be bought.

-Purchase Cryptocurrency: digital currency that is hard to track. The most popular is bitcoin.

I suppose if you're paranoid you can tinker with the Tor and VPN settings to make them more secure. 'Wash' bitcoin (I'm not sure what this entails). Get a temporary PO Box. The only other thing is finding reliable sites and vendors, I'm guessing there are people here at SS that can help you out with that.

Too bad someone has not written a Dark Web for Dummies book but most likely by the time it was published, all the information would be out of date. All the "good stuff" seems to be constantly evolving and changing. Also, now that the CIA appears to be using TOR, one has to wonder if the old wild days of the dark web are history.

The CIA Will Use its New Dark Web Site to Collect Anonymous Tips

The intelligence agency is stoked about its new Onion site on the dark web: "Our onion site is one of several ways individuals can contact the CIA."

A few people on here have written great guides, but I can't find them for some reason. There's one in this thread, a few posts down.

I think it is possible to be anonymous while using Tor as long as you don't do anything foolish. The deep web is not a place to take lightly. I have browsed on Tor and found the secret wiki or hidden wiki or whatever it is called. It has links to a lot of deep web sites. As one of member said though, be careful as the NSA and CIA are most likely surfing the deep web and using Tor and possibly other related tools as well.
