TOR all about network & search engines

The Tor network hosts onion sites. The Tor network is a series of interconnected nodes that allow for private and anonymous use of the internet.

Tor

Its name derives from its initials, "The Onion Router," while the websites hosted on the service have ".onion" as a domain extension.

Of course, you can not access Tor services or webpages using a regular browser. These websites are parts of the invisible section of the internet known as Deep Web. Darknets are the parts of the Deep Web that we hear in the news.

Below we will see how you can access .onion sites and why do you do it?

How do you access a .onion page?

You can access via Tor and the Tor browser. Tor Browser has modified the Mozilla Firefox browser with many built-in scripts and add-ons to protect your privacy while browsing the specific web pages.

The Tor browser has defaults για να συνδεθεί στο δίκτυο Tor και οι προγραμματιστές συμβουλεύουν να μην χρησιμοποιείτε ρυθμίσεις κάποιου συμβατού προγράμματος περιήγησης εκτός αν γνωρίζετε τι κάνετε. Πάρτε πολύ σοβαρά αυτό, το “ξέρετε τι κάνετε” γιατί ο Tor browser λειτουργεί διαφορετικά από ένα κανονικό πρόγραμμα περιήγησης, και κάθε αλλαγή στις ρυθμίσεις θα μπορούσε να εκθέσει τα δεδομένα σας σε εξωτερικές πηγές.

From the website , download the browser Tor. Find the zip, and extract the folder. Open the Tor Browser folder and double-click Start Tor Browser. The browser will check if they exist . If there are, let the app upgrade.
There are other browsers that focus on and anonymity. Also, is Tor what you need, or would a basic VPN do the job?

A quick warning

Onion sites and, more generally, the dark internet, can host scary content. In Deep Web there are priceless information you will not find on the web, but much of Dark Net contains harmful content.
Of course, the authorities already know that there are these websites and they are watching them. Below we will see how you can find websites of interest, but carefully read each description before clicking on any link!

How to find active .onion links

Google Search will not help you. Spiders are bots that systematically search for web pages and index the content.

Deep Web has a similar index, but it does not appear on websites like Google. Below we will see some search engines for Tor.

You should copy and paste the links below into your Tor browser instead of your regular browser.

The Hidden Wiki

Hidden Wiki is a page for new visitors to the dark web. The one linked is for 2018. The older ones of The Hidden Wiki exist, but contain several old websites and links that do not work.

Deep Web Links - Dark Web Links

Another website that uses the name "Hidden Wiki" but is not the "official" page. However, it has a very long list of onion sites. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to verify how many of these pages are still running. This search engine has a description of what each site is about.

TORCH

It is a well-known Tor search engine. However, it does not work like a regular search engine. For example, using TORCH to search for "Facebook" will not return you to Facebook's onion site, but a large list of posts in a Russian hacking forum.

Not Evil


If TORCH does not help you find what you want, try Not Evil. Not Evil works more like a regular web search engine and is the successor to TorSearch (another Tor search engine) and Evil Wiki (another page).
For example, a search for "Facebook" will return the official rFacebook onion site.

Daniel Onion Link List and Raspberry Pi Directory

Daniel's onion link list is a Tor list hosted on Raspberry Pi. The list is a list that gives you a brief description of each site, the latest impressions and the latest dates tested, and when it first appeared on the Tor network.

Daniel's Onion Link List includes all types of pages. Read the descriptions carefully before clicking on the links.

Tor Sale Safe

Most darknet users will tell you the same thing: do not believe what you see. There are too many myths surrounding Darknet. What you see may not be true, but if you do not want to know it.

The Tor network also hosts some really interesting and useful sites.
