WEBVTT 00:00.840 --> 00:05.940 In this video, we're going to talk briefly about the dark with now the dark web, if you're watching 00:05.940 --> 00:07.530 a lot of movies or televisions. 00:08.130 --> 00:12.960 Chances are you're going to see some really kind of crazy stuff where the dark web is. 00:13.680 --> 00:17.860 So the sole purpose is for things like money laundering. 00:17.880 --> 00:20.040 Doing criminal activity is buying drugs. 00:21.510 --> 00:27.000 Murder, snuff films and all sorts of crazy, dark, ugly stuff. 00:28.040 --> 00:33.800 Now, the truth is, the Dark Web does have some bad things in there, and essentially the dark web 00:34.520 --> 00:37.670 is just the on index part in air in it. 00:38.450 --> 00:41.770 So in other words, it's dark. 00:41.780 --> 00:46.520 You can't search the search using a standard browser. 00:46.520 --> 00:51.710 So I'm just going to grab one of these links here and we'll get back to the site in a moment. 00:53.300 --> 00:55.170 So I'm going to open a new tab here. 00:55.190 --> 00:59.390 We're going to go paste this in and we see this kind of crazy address. 01:00.340 --> 01:06.790 This six and age and blah blah blah blah, and it ends with a dot onion, so that doesn't look like 01:06.790 --> 01:07.750 a standard web search. 01:07.780 --> 01:13.200 It's not like, say, Google Dot Com and the Sendek dot com yahoo.com. 01:13.210 --> 01:20.590 Really easy to remember your ill dark web addresses tend to be pretty long and complex, but they always 01:20.590 --> 01:21.880 end with a dot onion. 01:22.840 --> 01:27.400 So if I click this, our browser cannot resolve to it. 01:28.480 --> 01:29.680 Our standard browser can't. 01:29.680 --> 01:36.670 So Firefox, Chrome Safari one night won't be able to browsers normally. 01:37.900 --> 01:45.430 And if we try to search the dark web using, say, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex or DuckDuckGo, whatever. 01:45.760 --> 01:50.410 We won't be able to do it because again, it's high on index part of the internet. 01:50.890 --> 01:57.520 And even if we were able to somehow search for these sites, we can't actually browse to it because 01:57.520 --> 02:01.210 again, it's got that dot onion address. 02:01.900 --> 02:07.720 So we would need something like, say, the Tor browser to browse to these different sections. 02:09.410 --> 02:13.310 Now you may find yourself in the need to go to the dark web, you may need to. 02:14.920 --> 02:19.570 Expand your investigation, check the dark web and look for different things, but again, the dark 02:19.570 --> 02:26.440 web isn't necessarily bad, so if you if you're doing a search for someone and and they you know that 02:26.440 --> 02:31.630 they're doing some activities or you suspect they're doing some activities on dark web, don't naturally 02:31.630 --> 02:36.310 assume that they're doing some sort of criminal activity because there are legitimate sites on the dark 02:36.310 --> 02:36.640 web. 02:37.650 --> 02:45.870 There's Facebook on the Dark Web, there's various news sites that have dark web addresses or also known 02:45.870 --> 02:47.070 as onion sites. 02:48.540 --> 02:53.940 So let's go back to the hidden wiki and you can find this at the Hidden Wiki dot org. 02:54.750 --> 03:00.300 Now this lists some various onion sites or dark web sites. 03:01.110 --> 03:07.650 And this we could actually browse on the regular browser here because we, as we see, has a mortgage 03:07.650 --> 03:07.980 REITs. 03:08.610 --> 03:12.090 If we go down in here, we can start searching this now. 03:12.840 --> 03:13.860 Dark web sites. 03:13.860 --> 03:20.580 The shady ones tend to go away pretty quickly because, well, some some of these are really horrible 03:20.580 --> 03:25.590 sites and they do get takedown requests or they kind of shuffle their servers around. 03:25.590 --> 03:26.850 So it's kind of harder to find them. 03:27.660 --> 03:31.710 If we kind of look in here, we can see all these different addresses next to what we can see, what 03:31.710 --> 03:32.010 it is. 03:32.030 --> 03:42.960 So Onion links version three, we can see dark mixer and so mixing, say, cryptocurrency, and we do 03:42.960 --> 03:44.790 see some bad stuff in here. 03:44.910 --> 03:50.220 Cocaine, heroin, most likely for sale, we could see. 03:51.700 --> 04:01.210 Cannabis sites here, mobile stores, bitcoin investments, mining use, USA citizenships and whatnot. 04:02.500 --> 04:07.750 So you do need to be careful when you go into the dark web if you're doing this, if you're going to 04:07.780 --> 04:16.510 say these shady reports of the dark web, I do recommend running your VPN using your virtual machine. 04:16.510 --> 04:20.740 And of course, you're going to need to use something like the Tor browser to get in there. 04:22.450 --> 04:25.390 Now we have a couple of options to browse the dark web. 04:25.420 --> 04:29.380 One will we could use a Tor browser, which we'll take a look at. 04:29.680 --> 04:34.960 We also could use a The Onion search engine and you could find an onion search engine dot com. 04:35.110 --> 04:40.780 And there is a chrome extension for this, and we could type in anything that we want here. 04:40.790 --> 04:42.460 It's a credit card. 04:48.150 --> 04:53.490 And we can click the button and it starts searching the dark web for it, so. 04:54.860 --> 04:57.420 This is handy, we're not using a Tor browser. 04:57.440 --> 05:04.640 We're not using a VPN per se because we're not clicking into it, but we can see that if found is different, 05:05.480 --> 05:07.550 it was able indexes different things. 05:09.260 --> 05:13.250 And we could see whether it's online or not, so that's pretty useful in itself. 05:14.750 --> 05:19.100 And if I click on any of these, it's not going to load because again, it's going to need a. 05:20.840 --> 05:24.140 The Onion router for it, so I'm just going to click this here. 05:25.750 --> 05:27.490 Because I actually don't want to go to the site. 05:28.090 --> 05:31.420 And again, you can use the onion search engine. 05:32.120 --> 05:36.280 Use a plug in on your Chrome browser for you could just find it over in the Google Store. 05:40.190 --> 05:42.380 So that's a pretty easy. 05:43.540 --> 05:49.000 In simple explanation for the dark web, kind of how to get around it, get it and look around. 05:49.360 --> 05:52.600 But again, I do recommend using caution when you go there. 05:52.810 --> 06:00.130 Use your VPN, use your virtual machine and use your Tor browser when you do your search. 06:00.220 --> 06:01.360 Be very careful. 06:01.360 --> 06:04.360 Don't use your real information if you need to. 06:05.490 --> 06:08.520 Register for a site like at see a forum or what not. 06:09.540 --> 06:11.550 Practice good Operation Security. 06:12.540 --> 06:18.480 Don't leave any real information behind because again, some of these sites can be pretty bad. 06:18.870 --> 06:22.530 There are pretty dark stuff on the darknet. 06:23.370 --> 06:30.860 So again, not all bad, but there, but you can run into some pretty dark areas in there in your investigation. 06:30.870 --> 06:34.820 So again, I do urge you to exercise caution. 06:34.830 --> 06:41.910 So this was about the dark web and the hidden wiki and also using our online search engine here. 06:42.090 --> 06:42.930 Thanks for watching. 06:42.960 --> 06:43.980 I'll see you next VIDEO.
