WEBVTT 00:00.660 --> 00:01.050 Okay. 00:01.050 --> 00:07.440 So now that we had the look on the most popular search engines on the darknet or that we can use to 00:07.440 --> 00:13.170 discover hidden services and this lecture, I want to show you more ways to discover hidden services 00:13.170 --> 00:14.610 or online services. 00:14.610 --> 00:20.760 And we'll do this using websites that link us to other websites or to other services. 00:21.090 --> 00:26.410 Now, like I said, there are a number of clear net websites that will link you to hidden services. 00:26.430 --> 00:31.140 All you have to do is just look for them in DuckDuckGo or even in Google. 00:32.080 --> 00:37.330 A very popular website that list a number of links is the hidden wiki. 00:37.360 --> 00:39.820 You can look for it on any search engine. 00:40.090 --> 00:45.430 I have the link for it right here, so I'm just going to copy and paste it here. 00:46.270 --> 00:53.050 Now the hidden wiki will contain a lot of broken links and a lot of scam, so you want to be very careful 00:53.050 --> 00:54.970 when you click on the links here. 00:55.120 --> 01:01.630 I'm showing it here to you for the sake of completion because you might find some useful links in here. 01:01.630 --> 01:08.440 And if you're a security researcher, you really need to know what the hidden wiki is, even know about 01:08.440 --> 01:13.600 the scammy websites in here because you might want to do research on them or you might want to investigate 01:13.600 --> 01:14.110 them. 01:15.100 --> 01:16.630 Using this is very simple. 01:16.630 --> 01:18.010 You can see categories. 01:18.520 --> 01:20.770 Each category contains websites that fall. 01:20.770 --> 01:24.640 Under this category, you can copy and paste the links to access them. 01:24.640 --> 01:26.050 It's as simple as that. 01:27.110 --> 01:31.420 A better website with more valid links would be direct fail. 01:31.460 --> 01:37.700 So the dark dot fail is a clear net domain that you can access on any browser. 01:37.730 --> 01:42.800 Or if you're on the Tor browser, you can access the hidden service for this website. 01:42.800 --> 01:46.400 So again, copy pasting it in here in my tor browser. 01:46.970 --> 01:49.550 This allowed the website similar to the hidden wiki. 01:49.580 --> 01:57.950 So it contains a number of links to popular hidden services and these links are BGP verified, so it's 01:57.950 --> 02:02.300 less likely to be scam and it's all valid links. 02:02.300 --> 02:04.160 So you can see the grayed out ones. 02:04.160 --> 02:06.170 These are links that are offline. 02:06.170 --> 02:10.250 So for example, if you try to access this link right here, it won't work. 02:10.460 --> 02:12.590 Everything else it should work. 02:12.590 --> 02:15.590 So this is different to what's in the hidden wiki. 02:15.620 --> 02:16.640 You'll notice this. 02:16.640 --> 02:20.270 If you test it yourself, you'll see a lot of the links that you click in. 02:20.270 --> 02:22.790 The hidden wiki will not actually work. 02:23.970 --> 02:30.240 Another place where you can get hidden services is the deep net or the deep web subreddit. 02:30.420 --> 02:33.900 So this is actually a subreddit on the clear net reddit. 02:34.260 --> 02:38.790 So again, you can access it using a normal browser or using the Tor browser. 02:38.820 --> 02:45.090 Obviously it's better to access it using the Tor browser because you'll be more anonymous and in here 02:45.090 --> 02:48.550 you'll see all sorts of topics about the deep web. 02:48.570 --> 02:56.160 So you'll see people discussing anonymity, people discussing new services, new vulnerabilities, and 02:56.160 --> 02:56.840 so on. 02:56.850 --> 03:02.970 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, 03:02.970 --> 03:06.410 then this is a really good subreddit to stay updated with. 03:06.420 --> 03:10.650 And like I said, it will also contain a number of good entry points. 03:10.650 --> 03:17.100 So you'll see if there is any new websites, if there is any new deep web search engines and so on. 03:18.250 --> 03:22.520 Another useful subreddit similar to the web is onions. 03:22.540 --> 03:27.670 So again reddit dot com forward slash or forward slash onions. 03:28.950 --> 03:37.200 Again in here you'll find links to hidden services, to onion websites and updates and news about vulnerabilities 03:37.200 --> 03:40.590 and about what's new in the darknet. 03:42.530 --> 03:49.160 On top of this, a really good place to get links would be forums or people that you start knowing, 03:49.160 --> 03:54.500 you start contacting or you start talking to through messaging apps or through emails, and we'll talk 03:54.500 --> 03:58.400 about how to use messaging apps and emails later on in the course. 03:58.790 --> 04:04.070 Now, I also want to mention two other websites that I think could be useful, and I don't want to spend 04:04.100 --> 04:06.050 a full lecture on them in the future. 04:06.110 --> 04:10.700 The first one is Thread, which is a Reddit for the deep net. 04:10.850 --> 04:13.340 So I'm just going to copy paste its link. 04:13.340 --> 04:19.280 Now, like I said, keep in mind if any of these links don't work, just use one of the search engines 04:19.280 --> 04:23.270 that I showed you in the previous lecture to search for the website name. 04:23.270 --> 04:28.580 So if you paste this link in here and it doesn't work, all you have to do is just look for the red 04:28.580 --> 04:34.400 onion link or onion service in one of the search engines that I showed you in the previous lecture. 04:34.400 --> 04:36.650 And you should be able to find its link. 04:37.340 --> 04:41.780 So as you can see, this is a website that has a very similar style to Reddit. 04:41.810 --> 04:48.610 You have a number of subreddits in here or sub threads, and in it you can post or you can upvote downvote. 04:48.620 --> 04:52.190 So the usage of this website is very, very similar to Reddit. 04:52.220 --> 04:57.980 The only thing is you can discuss deep net or onion services related topics in here. 04:58.680 --> 05:01.510 Last but not least, I also want to show you. 05:01.560 --> 05:02.790 Hidden answers. 05:02.940 --> 05:09.320 Now, this is similar to Quora or other websites where you can ask a question and get an answer, too. 05:09.480 --> 05:14.160 Again, the only difference in here, first of all, it's more private, it's more anonymous. 05:14.160 --> 05:19.230 And you can ask questions related to online services or to the deep web. 05:20.070 --> 05:21.710 So that's it for this lecture. 05:21.720 --> 05:27.810 Just wanted to cover more entry points that you can use to discover other online services or deep net 05:27.810 --> 05:28.710 websites. 05:28.740 --> 05:34.200 Like I said, the main thing to keep in mind is the links for these websites could change. 05:34.200 --> 05:39.630 And you might try something that I used here and it wouldn't work for you if it doesn't just look for 05:39.630 --> 05:43.560 the website name, forget about the URL, look for the website name. 05:43.560 --> 05:49.950 For example, if you're looking for hidden answers, look for hidden answers in DuckDuckGo or in any 05:49.950 --> 05:53.610 other search engine that I covered in the previous lecture. 05:53.610 --> 05:59.160 And from there, you should be able to find a valid link for this particular hidden service. 05:59.790 --> 06:05.970 Sometimes you could find a direct link, so either a direct onion link or in other cases you might find 06:05.970 --> 06:10.170 a clear net website or another deep net website that will link you to this. 06:10.440 --> 06:14.680 So the steps are simple look for the website, name and a search engine. 06:14.700 --> 06:20.940 From there, you'll either find a direct link or another website that'll link you to this hidden service.
