You can check out the Video here:Īlso, if you are installing TOR on your main PC and use that to access the dark web (which i really do NOT recommend), the usual precautions apply. I created a video some time ago on how to securely use CSI Linux via the Whonix Gateway, this still is my main Distro to use for investigations. For average users that may be an overhead but the general use of a Virtual Machine for accessing the Dark Web I would still highly recommend. Personally, I never surf the dark web from my day to day PC/Mac - I use VM's for that and I only use the VM's once. It is part of any OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) investigation and live would be really hard without it for many digital forensics and OSINT investigators.Īll right, so now, how do I get SAFELY started with all this? Let's look at a few options here, and be reminded, security precautions are even MORE important while accessing the Dark Web, do not think that nothing can happen to you because it is "anonymous" - Malware does not know anonymity, so, lets start with some basic recommendations, though not all may be possible to implement for the average user. Take note that this is a beginners guide, I am not going into every detail of the underlying technology but I did some detailed posts on some of this in the past so just check those out if you are into the more technical details. OK, so, why do I use the Dark Web? For me, the Dark Web is a resource that is very important during investigations. The Dark Web is not only home to criminals, it is also a vast resource for all kinds of legitimate content, it is used by whistleblowers in countries with oppressive Governments, by journalists that report in countries that try to censor or oppress free press, and it hosts a number of sites that you would also find on the clear web, such as Facebook, BBC, and more. You may ask yourself now "Why would anybody be interested in the Dark Web aside from Criminals and Drug dealers/users?" - Well, the answer is simple.
