Nothing new here... irc was much like that in the mid 90s.
Funny quote from that site:
"I hope that this isn't related, but as soon as I went onto the Deep Net, and got off of Tor when I was done, the entire network for our campus (15,000+ students) went down for five minutes.
Everything."
I've witnessed this kind of thing happen... and that was over 15 years ago. There are many individuals out there with access to vast botnets that mess things up for everyone. I can still remember my first time on irc around 1992/1993 - I was getting attacked for a good week...by a guy named Jughead (lol) -- script kiddie would nick collide/ping flood/tcp flood me out the wazoo. I had to install a protection script to defend against the attacks so I could chat online. The key thing was, with those protection scripts, that you would have to check each line of code to ensure that someone didn't install their own backdoor.
I would not recommend any of you use your main computer system to access any of these places. You're playing with fire if you are... better off playing Diablo 3. :) |

| Run VM windows/ubuntu on a mac. That'd be quite a number of exploits to get out of that sandbox. :p |

and before usergroups you had sub-routers and before that you had dedicated ping stations and something equally obscure before that again, point is that there has always been an underground network just out to get you, and if you don't install windows firewall as soon as possible they are going to attack you and they are going to attack you hard. now, tell me who fired off the bottle rocket! |

True, I'm not an IT expert. But I guess it doesn't do very much harm if you try TOR to access that HiddenWiki, "normal" onions and some chans just out of curiosity if they even aren't the real deep web... or? |
What extra stuff is on hiddenwiki? This is all so fascinating to me. |

you never know who's lurking behind the next firewall, and it is possible to inject fraudulent packets into a tor stream, and because of the very nature of tors design it would be impossible to determinate the origin, but that's really besides the point.
anyhow, tor traffic is easily identifiable by ISP's etc. They have no idea just how sick the CP you are watching, or if you are just running through-put traffic as a node, all they know is that you know how to operate TOR, and that might put you on a list. All I know is that with some of the newer addendums to US law, you don't want your name on any ing list.
Edit: Just noticed the finnish flag. Advice probably still stands though. More vodka doesn't necessarily equal more freedom.
Bottom line is pretty much don't go deep web unless you have business that needs to be done on the deep web. |

Yeah, I don't even have TOR anymore, just tried it last autumn because I heard about it for the first time when it was in the news here in Finland. And I definitely wasn't searching for CP or assasins to kill my neighbor. :p |
Yeah but that isn't what your ISP/gvt is going to think. It's a Kinda guilty by association thing "youre not a drug buying child pornographer assassin, yet you seek out venues where this is the main activities."
it's a 'you go to a shopping mall to shop, you go to gym to work out' logic that is going to be hard to fight back unless you have legitimate reasons for being there, and there are very few.
not that tor users are being targetted by governments, yet at least, recent law proposals have been broad and ed up enough to at least raise an alert imho. |

Yah I'm not telling you how to do it. Not that I even know myself. But think of it like a Flux Capacitor for your WiFi. At regular internetting it works just like a normal network interface, but when that baby hits 88 mbps you're gonna see some serious cp. |
