1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Okay.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So now that we had the look on the most popular search engines on the darknet or that we can use to

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
discover hidden services and this lecture, I want to show you more ways to discover hidden services

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
or online services.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
And we'll do this using websites that link us to other websites or to other services.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Now, like I said, there are a number of clear net websites that will link you to hidden services.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
All you have to do is just look for them in DuckDuckGo or even in Google.

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
A very popular website that list a number of links is the hidden wiki.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
You can look for it on any search engine.

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
I have the link for it right here, so I'm just going to copy and paste it here.

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Now the hidden wiki will contain a lot of broken links and a lot of scam, so you want to be very careful

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
when you click on the links here.

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000
I'm showing it here to you for the sake of completion because you might find some useful links in here.

14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And if you're a security researcher, you really need to know what the hidden wiki is, even know about

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
the scammy websites in here because you might want to do research on them or you might want to investigate

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,000
them.

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Using this is very simple.

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
You can see categories.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Each category contains websites that fall.

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Under this category, you can copy and paste the links to access them.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
It's as simple as that.

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
A better website with more valid links would be direct fail.

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
So the dark dot fail is a clear net domain that you can access on any browser.

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Or if you're on the Tor browser, you can access the hidden service for this website.

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So again, copy pasting it in here in my tor browser.

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
This allowed the website similar to the hidden wiki.

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000
So it contains a number of links to popular hidden services and these links are BGP verified, so it's

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
less likely to be scam and it's all valid links.

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
So you can see the grayed out ones.

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
These are links that are offline.

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
So for example, if you try to access this link right here, it won't work.

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Everything else it should work.

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
So this is different to what's in the hidden wiki.

34
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
You'll notice this.

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
If you test it yourself, you'll see a lot of the links that you click in.

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
The hidden wiki will not actually work.

37
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Another place where you can get hidden services is the deep net or the deep web subreddit.

38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
So this is actually a subreddit on the clear net reddit.

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
So again, you can access it using a normal browser or using the Tor browser.

40
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Obviously it's better to access it using the Tor browser because you'll be more anonymous and in here

41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
you'll see all sorts of topics about the deep web.

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:56,000
So you'll see people discussing anonymity, people discussing new services, new vulnerabilities, and

43
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,000
so on.

44
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
So if you're a Reddit user or even if you're not a Reddit user, but you want to use the deep net frequently,

45
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
then this is a really good subreddit to stay updated with.

46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
And like I said, it will also contain a number of good entry points.

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
So you'll see if there is any new websites, if there is any new deep web search engines and so on.

48
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Another useful subreddit similar to the web is onions.

49
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
So again reddit dot com forward slash or forward slash onions.

50
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Again in here you'll find links to hidden services, to onion websites and updates and news about vulnerabilities

51
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
and about what's new in the darknet.

52
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
On top of this, a really good place to get links would be forums or people that you start knowing,

53
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
you start contacting or you start talking to through messaging apps or through emails, and we'll talk

54
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
about how to use messaging apps and emails later on in the course.

55
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Now, I also want to mention two other websites that I think could be useful, and I don't want to spend

56
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
a full lecture on them in the future.

57
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
The first one is Thread, which is a Reddit for the deep net.

58
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
So I'm just going to copy paste its link.

59
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Now, like I said, keep in mind if any of these links don't work, just use one of the search engines

60
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
that I showed you in the previous lecture to search for the website name.

61
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
So if you paste this link in here and it doesn't work, all you have to do is just look for the red

62
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000
onion link or onion service in one of the search engines that I showed you in the previous lecture.

63
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
And you should be able to find its link.

64
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000
So as you can see, this is a website that has a very similar style to Reddit.

65
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,000
You have a number of subreddits in here or sub threads, and in it you can post or you can upvote downvote.

66
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
So the usage of this website is very, very similar to Reddit.

67
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,000
The only thing is you can discuss deep net or onion services related topics in here.

68
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Last but not least, I also want to show you.

69
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Hidden answers.

70
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Now, this is similar to Quora or other websites where you can ask a question and get an answer, too.

71
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Again, the only difference in here, first of all, it's more private, it's more anonymous.

72
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
And you can ask questions related to online services or to the deep web.

73
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
So that's it for this lecture.

74
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Just wanted to cover more entry points that you can use to discover other online services or deep net

75
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
websites.

76
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Like I said, the main thing to keep in mind is the links for these websites could change.

77
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
And you might try something that I used here and it wouldn't work for you if it doesn't just look for

78
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000
the website name, forget about the URL, look for the website name.

79
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,000
For example, if you're looking for hidden answers, look for hidden answers in DuckDuckGo or in any

80
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000
other search engine that I covered in the previous lecture.

81
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,000
And from there, you should be able to find a valid link for this particular hidden service.

82
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Sometimes you could find a direct link, so either a direct onion link or in other cases you might find

83
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
a clear net website or another deep net website that will link you to this.

84
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
So the steps are simple look for the website, name and a search engine.

85
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000
From there, you'll either find a direct link or another website that'll link you to this hidden service.
