Stronghold Paste .onion Review

Hello, on this post I will give you another onion website review, this time Iam going to talk about Stronghold Paste

Stronghold Paste url http://nzxj65x32vh2fkhk.onion

Stronghold Paste works pretty much like pastebin.com, but as with all .onion webpages you can count on a huge level of anonymity and little to none propaganda.
The idea of the webpage is to freely leave text files on the "cloud". This pieces of text can be accessible by anyone or you may require a password.

Some features from Stronghold Paste

onion website review - Parazite

Hello, on this post I will give you another onion website review, this time Iam going to talk about Parazite

Parazite is a repository for .onion websites and hidden services, but does more then just a normal “repository” function, mainly because it seems to be managed by a really crazy person, at least with a very weird sense of humor (just like me). And also because it looks really good, as great uptime and is well organized with lots of information.

This is the .onion link for Parazite main webpage: http://kpynyvym6xqi7wz2.onion

The “main” website list is sorted by this categories:

Hidden answers onion website review

Here is another .onion website review!

If you are not familiar with Tor or .onion websites check this Article

Hidden Web Services and how to use them:

A hidden web-service is another word used within the Deep web community. Which denotes a specific service or a web site within the Tor infrastructure that uses the same level of security and anonymity by being accessible only through the Tor browser. That is why, if you are interested in using any of these “Hidden-services” then you must be a user of the Tor browser in order to gain access to these services.

[quadradoadsense]

Since Hidden web services, are anonymous, they will range from a wide variety of things. The user could find almost any sort of hidden service depending upon their interest, all while maintaining their anonymity.

Since there are numerous different variants of hidden web services and all of them randomly appear and disappear, it is very hard to keep track of their availability.

Here are five of the most useful hidden web services that Tor network has to offer for its users.

Deep web what it really is

Hello, I will keep this post very "simple" and make it "sticky"

In it I will talk once again about the Deep Web, but no images/bullshit. The point is, the more and more I approach people and try to find out what they know about the subject, the worst it gets :)

There is a huge amount of disinformation about this!

Iam not going technical on terms like Deep Web, Darknet, Dark web. I did it already along the way on this blog.

When I use the term Deep web on this post, Iam well aware that it is not technically correct, Iam using it on the most popular idea of what the deep web represents for the majority of people around the world...

First and foremost, utmost persons not "technology inclined" have no clue at all about the Deep web. 90% of the ones who have some idea, have the wrong idea...

So here it is the reality of the Deep Web (again this is technically incorrect at some levels, its just an easy approach Iam giving for everyone to understand)

When someone refers to the Deep web, they are talking about websites that are not reachable by normal "web browsers"

To access them you need to use the Tor browser because it connects to the network (Internet) where the deep web pages are located.

The Deep web is a place OPEN for EVERYONE where you can host several services like websites, all different kind of services, IM, Radio, Video, etc.

Exactly the same as open Internet, with the difference that it runs under the Tor network. This is an anonymous, non centralized Network which grants a huge level of anonymity to its users!

What the Deep web is NOT is a place were are all the hackers, were drugs/weapons are sold or a pedophile paradise!

What the Deep web is. An anonymous Internet open for everyone.

But not everyone is the same! And some groups like Hackers, pedophiles, drug dealers, etc. Found it quite useful to be anonymous :) So they use it as much as they can, and websites/markets offering "illegal" or not so "moral" items and articles. Created by them, started to emerge all over the Deep web, to that "section" of the Network we call it by Dark web.

The Dark web is not the Deep web and is far away from the real idea behind the Deep web.

 

Why people don't know anything about the deep web? Most don't even know it really exists. It's way beyond me! It seems to be the obvious reason is that, its not in Governments and even the Dark web users best interest's for the truth to be told. The deep web is under NO ONE control. The last real Anarchist bastion out there.

Silk Road is dead. What next?

On this article I will talk about Silk Road from the beginning to the end, and I will talk about what's coming now that Silk Road is dead.

1- What Silk Road was
2- What happened to Silk Road
3- Consequences
4- Whats happening now

1- Silk Road was a dark net Market best know for selling all kinds of drugs Worldwide.
Silk Road was launched on February of 2011 and operated under the Tor network.
The original onion address was http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion untill it got seized by the FBI back in 2013



 

2- What happened to Silk Road was that it got really big, the media started to be all over it and it got the attention of the US government.
After grabbing the atenttion from autoritys, small dealers started to get caught and convicted here and there.
Untill finally the FBI was able to locate the real location of the server, from there they infiltrated deep on the website and eventually were able to arrest the supposed owner/creator/administrator Ross William Ulbricht AKA"Dread Pirate Roberts"
3- A consequence of all this, was that the Dark Web gained notoriety, more and more Illegal markets started to emerge. Inclusive soon after the FBI closed the Silk Road Market the Silk Road 2 Market was created by three administrators of the original Silk Road website relaunched it under the name Silk Road 2, this website was operational from Nov 06 2013 untill Nov 06 2014.
Silk Road 3 would follow, but this one was just a rebrand of another Dark Web Market "Diabolus"
4- What we have now is a crazy uprising of new dark web markets. It seems that for each market the authorities take down, 2 more appear to replace them.

Useful information and tips

After some time I decided to give you some more good tips, so here they are:

 

 

USEFUL STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW

● IF YOU JUST WANT TO BROWSE THE WEB ANONIMOUSLY THEN TOR CAN ACT AS YOUR VPN BUT DO NOT USE THIS FOR ANY OTHER REASON SUCH AS MARKET PLACES, CARDING ETC YOU WILL REALLY REQUIRE A STRONGER SECURITY SUCH AS VYPRVPN AND SOCKS

● I RECOMMEND FIREFOX TO BE YOUR NUMBER ONE CHOICE BROWSER WHEN DOING CARDING OR ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY I HAVE NOTICED THIS ONE TO BE THE EASIEST TO CLEAN (WITH CCLEANER)

● GOOGLE CHROME STILL HAS COOKIES EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE RAN IT THROUGH CCLEANER (MANUAL CLEAN IS REQUIRED) I DO NOT RECOMMEND CHROME ANYWAY

● VIP72 HAS SOCKS THAT COME AND GO OFFLINE FOR EXAMPLE DAYTIME IN THE UK THERE ARE LOADS OF UK SOCKS.

BUT AT NIGHT THEY DROP BY A LOT SO ALWAYS TRY TO HIT THE COUNTRY YOU NEED IN THERE “DAYTIME” HOURS

● PAYPAL’S SECURITY CAN SEE THE FOLLOWING
IP - TIME ZONE - KEYBOARD LANGUAGE - HDD SERIAL - PC ACCOUNT NAME

Hansa Market on the deep/dark web

Hello, in this post Iam going to tell you about one of my favorite markets on the deep/dark web.
The Hansa Market.
Here is the onion link: http://hansamkt2rr6nfg3.onion/

First I will start with the basics, what is a dark web market?
Basically a dark web market is a webpage located on the Tor network, using a .onion domain.
You can only access it using the Tor network. And on this "market" users can sell goods and services to eachother under a big level of anonymity.

IRC for tor. How to Setup and configure

How to set up IRC for Tor using Pidgin as a client. 

On this post I will approach the IRC. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat and basically is an online chat room. Very popular during the 90's it started to die slowly when msn came out, then ICQ and social websites killed it completely.

But IRC is still a great tool to learn stuff and meeting new people.

Groups like Anonymous frequently use IRC services to organize and exchange ideas, you can read more about Anonymous HERE.

Offcourse this kind of groups catch the interest of the authorities, so using irc with tor was one of the ways to keep them self's away  from harm.

After this brief introduction I will give you step by step instructions on how to set up IRC for tor.

 



1. Download your IRC client. Personally, I use Pidgin. The link is provided for you:

10 more .onion links with descriptions

The deep web is really huge! Even bigger then the surface web. But not everyone knows about good .onion links. That's why Iam giving you 10 more .onion websites, some of them already extabelished sites like GuerrilaMail.com a famous dispousable mail service, or Demonoid a great torrent tracker. Even Facebook as opened is gates to Tor users with its official .onion adress you can check it below on my list!
The advantage of entering this websites with the .onion domain is obviously to keep yourself as anonymous as possible.

 

Here is the List!

 

1- Demonoid - demonhkzoijsvvui.onion - The big torrent tracker www.demonoid.pw .onion website

.onion domain what is it and how to enter it?

If you find a website ending in .onion and after you clicked the link an error page appeared.
That happened because you probably do not have the Tor browser installed on your system.
you can read how to install the Tor browser in this post:
http://www.securityfreak.info/security/using-and-testing-tor-browser-for-the-first-time
With everything installed and running, now you can open you .onion link on your Tor browser.

But .onion domain what exactly is this?
A .onion is a top level domain just as .com or .net, with the difference it is not spread through the regular Internet dns system, instead it uses the Tor proxy to protect the privacy from both the publishers and it's users!
You can read all the details in the wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.onion

but there is not much more to it. .onion domain in a nutshell, is a top level domain allocated in the Tor network that must be accessed through the Tor network.
You can find 10 good .onion websites in this post http://www.securityfreak.info/tips/10-deepweb-pages-and-its-description-onion-link/ with topics ranging from Cat trivia to hired assassination services :)

We also offer you several .onion links on the right panel of your browser from posts that I already made on this blog.
I hope I was clear with this post, any questions do not hesitate to leave as a comment, thanks.

Tor IRC servers and channels

An IRC client allows you to enter Tor chat rooms to talk to many individuals at one time. You will need one with proxy settings so you can run the client through Tor.
Make sure to NOT use DCC as it can expose your IP address.
There are several IRC servers that run over Tor (.onion addresses) that you can use. They are all logically connected, so connecting to one will connect you to all.

IRC Servers
Here is a list of the Tor IRC servers (note that all servers are linked):

• Mixie: 4eiruntyxxbgfv7o.onion (Down)


• FTW: ftwircdwyhghzw4i.onion


• Renko: renko743grixe7ob.onion (Down)


• PB: jkpos24pl2r3urlw.onion (Down)


• Nissehult: nissehqau52b5kuo.onion

IRC Channels
Here is a list of some of the popular Tor IRC channels (ordered by user count at the moment of writing):

• #public


• #torchan


• #cams


• #security


• #hackbb

Tor Browser Using and Testing it for the first time

Now you have successfully downloaded and installed the Tor Browser Bundle. LINK 

You are no doubt anxious to begin using it.
First, click on the "start" menu icon, the icon in the lower left of your screen with the windows logo.

On the top right will be a listing that says "You","Documents", "Pictures", "Music"... "You" of course will be replaced by your user name. Click on "You", the top most link.

This will open up your main user folder.
Now, locate the folder called "Downloads" and double click on it.
Next, inside the "Downloads" folder, double click on the folder called "Tor Browser".
Lastly, double click on the application: "Start Tor Browser" When you do, you will see the Vidalia Control Panel appear, and you will observe as you connect to the TOR network. When this is complete, your web browser will open up and will automatically connect to the web address: check.torproject.org This is to confirm that you are in fact using TOR.
If you have followed this guide correctly, then you will see the following green text, or something similar:
"Congratulations. Your browser is configured to use Tor."
Now you can use this web browser the same as any other. You can go to any website you wish, and neither your ISP or anyone else will be able to see where you are going, or what you are doing.
However, there are still issues that need to be resolved, so don't begin browsing just yet.

***********************************************
******* IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE *******
***********************************************

If you fill out a form containing your email address, your name, or any other sensitive information while using the TOR browser, be aware that sometimes it is possible for an observer to see that information.
When using TOR, use it to access websites and content that you are *not* connected to via your real identity or any username or nick name which links to your real identity.
Let TOR be for anonymous browsing solely.
Do your online banking, or any other activities involving your real identity using your normal web browser.
************************************

 

Obtaining Tor Browser

The first step to becoming secure and anonymous online is to setup and install something called "Tor".

"Tor" is short for"The Onion Router".
The concepts behind Tor were first implemented by the United States Military, and these principles have been used to create an extremely secure mechanism for being anonymous online. In fact, millions of people world-wide use Tor to browse the internet and communicate anonymously.
Tor works by heavily encrypting your communications so that no observer can see what website you are really going to, and what information is really being sent. It all appears as a bunch of random characters to any observer.
You simply use the Tor web browser just as you use any other web browser.
Tor takes care of the rest.

However, Tor by itself is not enough.
Even when using Tor, a user can be compromised in a number of ways.

First, some websites can be set up to attempt to reveal someone's true IP address (their true identity) by tricking their web browser or other software to transmitting that information.

For this reason, anyone who uses Tor will recommend that no one have javascript or flash turned on while browsing Tor.
In this guide however, I will show you a much better solution.
The second issue is that of human error. Even if you have Tor installed, you may accidentally forget which browser to put in a link.
You may also accidentally click on a link from another program, such as a chat program. That program might then load the link you clicked on into a non-Tor browser.
When you are using Tor, you must be careful *constantly* that every link goes into the right browser, and that you do not accidentally click the wrong link.
So then, let's begin. Obtaining the Tor Browser is easy. Simply go to the following website:

http://www.torproject.org

Once here, you may feel free to read more about what Tor is and how it works, or you may proceed to immediately download Tor.

 

[ads1 adsenselinks=""]

Here is how to do so:

1. Click on "Download Tor", or "Download".
2. You will see text that says, "The Tor Browser Bundle contains everything you ned ... Just
extract it and run. Learn more >>
3. Click on this "Learn more" link. for the "Tor Browser Bundle"
4. Assuming you are an English speaker, you would choose the top-most link "English (en-US)".
Otherwise, pick the language
best suited to you.
5. The file being saved will be named: tor-browser-1.3.18_en-US.exe
It is ok if the number is not exactly 1.3.18, there are new versions of Tor from time to time. At
the time that this guide was written, 1.3.18 was most current. By the time you are reading this, a
more current version of TOR may exist.
6. Run this file.
Nesquik7
7. You will be prompted to extract this to a directory. By default, it will be set to
C:UsersYouDownloads This is perfectly
ok. You can also choose a different directory if you wish.
8. Click "Extract"
That's it. Tor Browser is NOW installed. Time to test it out!
