Title: guide to the dark net
Post by: FenderGuitarMan on September 05, 2012, 02:54 am
Hey, I've been looking for a newbs guide to the darknet. I am not looking for sick shit like child porn or illegal weapons, I just want to know what other cool sites like SR exist. Where will we all go if SR goes down? Where the good porn that google doesn't return? Where do people chat about connecting IRL kind of like the way Craigslist used to be before they cracked down on it? I thought I'd find some guides here for sale but couldn't find the right category. I want to explore the dark underbelly of the web! SR has been an eye opening experience.

With regards to the Darknet, The Hidden Wiki is a good place to start for info. If SR is ever taken down, you could use Tormail to contact a vendor if you save there tormail address off SR or again, browse The Hidden Wiki for other such sites. If SR goes, you can bet other will eventually open up. I can't imagine anyone using the "hidden web" through Tor is or would be looking to chat and connect IRL! Your not serious surely!

What are you looking for do you think?  I have done a fair bit of exploring through .onionland (check out my blog), but few sites have the sophistication or longevity of the Road.  You might be looking for something that only exists in people's imaginations.

There are lots of chat sites, and no doubt some people do hook up in real life.  One of the most comprehensive and useful directories is actually on a clearnet site:  http://ahmia.fi/

Let me know if you think I can be of any help, though there are no doubt more experienced darkweb explorers than me around here :)

hey all, there's really a couple of things I'm interested in:

something like SR if anything ever happens to it

Curious in chat like things like video chat roulette but in a safer place

high class escort services to entertain business men and women

open discussion groups about drugs, sex, life

As for finding a RL connection, I am just curious. Obviously there are people in my community selling the stuff we buy here. I know all the ways people suggest you find them, but I have family and work obligations that make it unlikely I'll be hanging out a biker bar after midnight! I know people used to find each other using cleverly worded ads in the clear net on things like craigslist. That, to me, is crazy. But a method that leaves less of a digital path might be worth looking into. I'm a smart and careful person, I'm not going to do anything stupid. I'm not into anything sick or super illegal (beyond what we do here on SR and maybe I've considered hooking a business contact up with a "date").

More than anything else I am just plain interested in other uses for the darknet/hidden web. I know some of it stuff I will find objectionable, but it's like a whole new frontier to explore!
