Is THIS the dark web?

[Scarpozzi]

I keep hearing people talk about the dark web. I always assumed they were just talking about ATOT.....but with ATOT STILL seemingly being talked about constantly by law enforcement in my local area after all these years, I'm starting to think there might be another dark web they're talking about.

Bottom of the page you can choose "AnandTech Dark web"

AND that's about as close to the "dark web" as this place gets.

Sorry to disappoint.

 

[Zeze]

Why can't it be called Light Web?

Racist.

Unless one of your local constabulary is a current/former member?

Law enforcement where you are constantly talk about ATOT? What's that about? Did I miss a story?

I'm embarrassingly ignorant about it for someone on a 'tech' site, but I had the impression that 'dark web' was partly a tech thing - sites that you can't get to via a normal browswer/DNS arrangement?

Yes and to clear your reputation please deposit a FlashDrive with 1 Bitcoin at the previously disclosed coordinates. A Retrieval Team will be monitoring the area for shenanigans....

They talk about the dark web. I just assume they mean ATOT is where all the bad stuff is.

Who is that with Shrek? Snowden?

Not surprised Comcast is involved.

Whatever you do don't mention the cloaking option in ATOT.

 

[BurnItDwn]

The dark web is black text on black background. You have to highlight it and copy/paste into notepad to read it.

You've heard the definition of "assume" I'm assuming?

If you're really interested, download a Tor client and ask around on some of the shadier cryptocurrency forums about the latest incarnation of whatever Silk Road is called now.

There is some pretty twisted and downright weird stuff on those sites. But, seriously... unless you're looking for stolen credit card numbers and used panties for some reason, I wouldn't bother. You're probably going to get yourself added to a government watch list just for trying.

Dark Web = QAnons and Trumps website.

Yeah unless you have a specific reason to visit sites at .onion addys through TOR nodes, I'd avoid it. I'd suggest using a legit VPN if you feel the need to delve.
