This video is part of a series that’s for educational purposes only.


1
00:06.290 --> 00:10.190
Please do not enter the Dark Web unless you know what you are doing.

2
00:10.700 --> 00:17.120
The Dark Web is the criminal,s heaven and there are things that an average person should never see.

3
00:17.870 --> 00:23.840
If you don't have a good reason to use the Dark Web, like to provide the truth in a situation where

4
00:23.900 --> 00:26.480
it's censored, I'd stay away from it.

5
00:26.840 --> 00:33.380
If this is the first time you hear about the Dark Web, chances are you don't know what you are getting

6
00:33.380 --> 00:33.770
into.

7
00:34.220 --> 00:39.750
There are people on Internet forums that have come across things on the Dark Web

8
00:40.100 --> 00:42.320
they wish they would have never seen.

9
00:43.160 --> 00:46.220
They were completely traumatized and once

10
00:46.220 --> 00:46.690
they are in,

11
00:47.060 --> 00:49.040
they are not leaving. Now

12
00:49.160 --> 00:55.870
assuming you have a good and legitimate reason to visit the Dark Web, then you should be aware that

13
00:55.880 --> 01:03.250
you can do it only with the Tor browser and you have to already know the onion address of the 

14
01:03.250 --> 01:04.670
websites you want to visit.

15
01:05.270 --> 01:09.530
It's not like you go to search for the onion addresses on Google.

16
01:10.570 --> 01:18.430
You'll find these onion addresses on forums, chat rooms, or you'll receive them by email.

17
01:19.840 --> 01:26.530
This is the hidden Wiki, which lists hundreds of onion addresses of services that you can find

18
01:26.620 --> 01:27.580
on the Dark Web.

19
01:28.150 --> 01:34.720
The real number of the hidden services on the Dark Web is unknown because of their hidden nature,

20
01:34.990 --> 01:38.180
but some say that there are less than 10000.

21
01:38.830 --> 01:40.000
So not so many.

22
01:41.240 --> 01:49.220
There you can find fake government I.Ds., illegal weapons and drugs on many marketplaces. Here

23
01:49.550 --> 01:55.820
no one will use traditional forms of payments like credit cards because they can be easily tracked,

24
01:56.120 --> 01:59.120
but privacy crypto currencies like Monero.

25
01:59.930 --> 02:08.900
Be aware that if illegal activities are there, police is definitely not too far away and they are undercover.

26
02:09.970 --> 02:12.400
Silk Road is just one example.

27
02:12.660 --> 02:20.320
It was the biggest marketplace on the Dark Web that, after two years of undercover operations, was taken

28
02:20.320 --> 02:21.730
down by FBI.

29
02:22.630 --> 02:27.550
Its founder was put into jail and given two life sentences.

30
02:28.590 --> 02:37.200
Over those two years of operations, Silkroad generated more than the equivalent of one 180

31
02:37.200 --> 02:39.240
billion dollars in cryptocurrency.

32
02:40.510 --> 02:45.610
These are, for example, some websites on the Dark Web that worth visiting.

33
02:46.820 --> 02:53.870
This is the onion address of DuckDuckGo search engine that is also available on the surface web.

34
02:54.320 --> 02:57.230
As opposed to other search engines

35
02:57.620 --> 03:02.390
DuckDuckGo does not collect or share any of your personal information.

36
03:03.300 --> 03:09.050
This is Hidden Answers, which is similar to Reddit, but it doesn't have any censorship in it.

37
03:09.440 --> 03:16.250
You can ask whatever questions you like and you'll definitely receive one answer from the online community.

38
03:19.460 --> 03:22.820
This is a mirror website of the real Facebook.

39
03:23.750 --> 03:31.970
Some regimes censor social media or make them completely inaccessible for their people. By using the

40
03:31.970 --> 03:34.040
Dark Web version of Facebook

41
03:34.280 --> 03:36.590
people can attempt to stay anonymous.

42
03:39.950 --> 03:47.060
The BBC has made a special Tor mirror of its news website, which is available on the Dark Web.

43
03:47.540 --> 03:54.320
The goal is to offer people a way to anonymously access the BBC website, without restrictions,

44
03:54.620 --> 03:56.960
regardless of where someone lives.

45
03:58.620 --> 04:01.440
Another interesting one is Secure Drop.

46
04:02.100 --> 04:06.730
It's the place where whistleblowers and journalists can be found.

47
04:08.050 --> 04:10.240
As a conclusion, visiting the dark web


48
04:10.270 --> 04:12.220
will expose you to great risks. 

49
04:12.520 --> 04:17.140
Have your eyes wide open and make sure you do not click on links

50
04:17.410 --> 04:19.120
you are not sure you  want to see.
