Dark web warning

It's kinda nostolgic, reminds me of the BBS and AOL days

take it from an old programmer, THEY are way ahead of you, it just depends on the amount of resources they want to expend on you.

Hated those days then, Now I kind of miss them. I got on in 1998 and it was fun messing with friends because they didn't know about computers. One guy I said want to see something cool? he goes yeah and I said if you hold down your power button for about 5 seconds something cool will happen. He did it and I started to laugh when he signed off.

Ok, now that is really weird. I have just found out about the existence of this "dark web", or "deep web" yesterday. Now I check ATS every day, and I have not been very active on here for a while. However, I find it incredibly coincidental that I have never seen any mention of the deep web on ATS and I had just discovered it yesterday from a fellow I met on Omegle. Now, the reason I bring this up is that I see a possibility that this may be some new trending thing going around, like the Sandy Hook conspiracy video that I get asked about on Omegle more and more out of the blue.

So, my theory is that the growing popularity of all of these topics that were previously unkown to most are becomming more and more commonplace due to things spreading through Facebook and chat rooms like Omegle.

Has anyone else noticed this strange new trend?

Nope, I check ATS every now and then, and saw this today, I've known about the dark web for ages, so no coincidence there.

If you check ATS daily, you may have noticed this thread yesterday (when it was posted), and then subconciously found out about it through however you found out about it. Nothing weird there.

Lol, no, I was not trying to insinuate that there was something weird going on, more just a trend. I surely did not see this thread the previous day, since that was one of the rare days I didn't check ATS. However, I did first discover the existence of the dark web from a person on Omegle the previous day. I had never heard of it before, at all. Then this thread was on here. I was more just trying to make sense of a coincidence. I now realize how ludicrous that sounded after reading it back. In any case, I was probably wrong anyways, but it WAS a coincidence nonetheless.

There are a few threads on ATS that discuss the dark web.

Just use the search function and type in - TOR

EDIT:

Here's a few

The Secret Internet Uncovered

Deep Web, Secret Web, Second Web

Tor (anonymity network)

Ah, thanks for the reference, I will be sure to check those out. I guess that explains why I never have seen anything about it on here, since all of those were posted before I joined.

Dont Wast your time . I have heard about this for years ands im really into computers tryed thor out once gave up five mints later .
after reading this figered id give it a second try as FINDING personialy owned websites is very hard on search engians as to be in the top 100 the web desiners jsut use ways to make sure .Ever notice how most of the links go to the same page . anyway teh so called dark web is slow almost impossible to search .
And billions of web pages?? who are you kidding? a few thousand maybe most of wich dont work.
drugs you say illegal porn you say hit for hire you say lol.
o my you dont need the dark web for any of that .
people are going to hak you??? give m,e a brake it would take them a week not because there not smart but because its so slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. hak your camra ??: and what maybe get a still photo at most and the person better stay conected for hours to get that.
the dark web is slow limited info none loading web pages out of ten links one may work and take five mints to laod . kiddes jsut stick with teh regular web you can find any thing youw ant there without wating or dead links.

Soooo...WTF happend...
Today, dont know why, i tried to connect the tor brower...
And lo and behold it connected.
WHY??

I didnt do ANYTHING, no updates(though i did get a message there is one),
no messing with settings, no reinstalls....NOTHING...

I just pressed "Start Tor Browser" and it DID...

So, how does it work?
Im not into pron or snuff, drugs, hitmen?? (why) or any of that..
How do i search?

EDIT:
I tried to "surf" around and find nothing really..
Some links like www.makeuseof.com...
and anonymous.livelyblog.com...
doesnt do anything...Mostly crap...
and "surfing" isnt THAT slow...Althogh i havent tried the downbelow sites.

Well, i cant find the "serious" discussions.
I cant find any "serious" information.
Maybe i dont know how, OR its just not there.

childporn yes, drugs yes, guns yes

But i cant belive all on there is interested in that zhite....

Ah, Tor. I downloaded it once upon a time. I want to say probably around a decade or so ago, but I'm not sure if it was operational or not then. My memory stinks that bad, yep.
I'd fiddled around with it & eventually deleted it because I couldn't figure the thing out Needless to say, I haven't bothered since. My tech skills have gone up over the years, but I still doubt I could have it properly functional & secure even now.

Also, I'm surprised more people don't know about the Deep Web/Dark Web (or my personal fave moniker--the Black Ocean) I've been hearing about it from people of all types for ages, I assumed it was borderline common knowledge these days. I guess not.
Like I said, since I never got Tor up & running, I've never personally ventured there. Definitely curious, but I lack the confidence & skills to go securely. Over the years, I've heard rumors of a rockin' mother of all conspiracy boards being one of the invite-only playgrounds. If I ever feel I have both a good enough grasp of Tor & can hermetically seal my computer security-wise, I'd love to try to sniff that one out.

Oh, one other thing. How come any conspiracy or leaked info isn't brought over from the Deep Web to ATS? I'm sure we've got enough users able to sail that sea competently to confirm it isn't sourceless bunk on a dead-end address.

Theres nothing intersesting on tor/onion sites, your at the wrong level of deep web.

Ok
1: why is it that ie "Tesla Experiment Plans" is deeper down then Headhunters and
human trafficing? Ilogical
2: Location of Atlantis? Why is that deeper?

Thats the kind i would like to see..And imho i dont know why that
isnt safe for surface web.

Well im NOT going to dvelve any further in tor...
