多亏了某个名为“丝绸之路”的在线毒品市场，您可能已经意识到那里还有另一个版本的互联网(Internet)。任何普通浏览器都无法访问或任何普通搜索引擎无法索引的一种。
它被称为暗网，不要与(Dark Web)深网(Deep Web)混淆，深网是由于付费墙或受密码保护的登录页面（例如网上银行）而无法正常访问的网站。
暗网(Dark Web)有一些合法有效的用途，例如在由专制政权统治的国家（如中国(China)）保护持不同政见者和活动家的言论自由。但大多数情况下，暗网(Dark Web)
被称为“网络的暗部”。其中很多包括毒品、色情、赌博、杀手和其他各种犯罪活动。
既然如此，您可能会问，如果您不倾向于这种方式，为什么甚至值得一看。我认为值得一看，即使只是为了好奇。这是对另一个世界的迷人一瞥。
洋葱（Tor）浏览器(The Onion (Tor)
Browser)
要访问暗网(Dark Web)，您需要专门的浏览器。使用Firefox、Chrome或Safari将无法正常工作。要访问暗网(Dark Web)，您需要洋葱浏览器(Onion Browser)（也称为Tor）。您可以通过访问 Tor 网站(to the Tor website)下载并安装Tor 浏览器(Tor Browser)。
作为修改后的Firefox浏览器，Tor浏览器也可以访问常规互联网站点，但其主要目的之一是访问暗网。Tor将通过多个“ (Tor)Tor中继”（虚拟专用网络）运行您的互联网流量来保护您的位置，因此Tor的运行速度比普通浏览器慢得多。这就是你隐私的代价。
暗网的 URL(The Dark Web’s URLs)
暗网(Dark Web)以自己的 URL 格式运行，即(URL).onion格式(.onion)。因此，虽然常规链接可能是http://www.website.com，但暗网链接可能是http://thg67klkk4ksl9s.onion。
如您所见，暗网(Dark Web)链接不使用 .com 或 .net、.org或任何其他常见的网站域后缀。而且暗网(Dark Web)链接也没有像“Google”、“Yahoo”或“eBay”这样的专有名称。
相反，它是随机选择的字符，这使得暗(Dark Web)网站很难找到和猜测。这是使暗网(Dark Web)对犯罪分子和其他想要在雷达下运作的人具有吸引力的部分原因。
由于暗网(Dark Web)网站一直在上下波动，而且几乎不可能找出URL ，即使是(URL)暗网(Dark Web) 搜索引擎(search engines)也是出了名的不可靠！但如果你是北京(Beijing)的博主，你不会希望你的暗网(Dark Web)被搜索引擎收录，让政府跟踪你。相反，您将依靠可信赖的支持者的口口相传来找到您。
潜入暗网(Diving Into The
Dark Web)
安装并打开Tor浏览器后（这非常简单，不需要特殊配置），是时候查看一些网站了。
在继续之前我应该说，虽然Tor是经过修改的Firefox浏览器，但您不应该安装任何Firefox
扩展。已经预装了两个扩展——NoScript和 HTTPS Everywhere。他们在那里是为了您的安全——不要安装任何其他人。
考虑到这一点，还要记住暗网(Dark Web)是互联网(Internet)的狂野西部(West)。没有规则，如果您冒险进入论坛和聊天室，您将遇到一些非常令人毛骨悚然和危险的人。
因此，请勿透露有关您自己的任何个人身份信息，并对您点击的链接非常谨慎。例如，如果您点击儿童色情内容，如果警方正在监控该网站，您将面临严重的法律危险。无知不是防御(Ignorance is not a defence)。
搜索引擎和目录(Search Engines & Directories)
几乎每个人都普遍同意，从暗网(Dark Web)开始的最佳位置是Ahmia.fi。这是一个暗网(Dark Web)搜索引擎，也可以在普通互联网(Internet)上访问。
绕过暗网(Dark Web)只需要查看搜索引擎和目录，基本上就是浏览，直到找到你想要的。你们每个人都会有自己不同的兴趣，所以把你们送到一个特定的方向是没有意义的。
所以这里有一些搜索目录和页面的列表，它们会让你在暗网(Dark Web)的兔子洞里匆匆忙忙。在评论中让我们知道您发现了什么。当您尝试访问时，其中一些链接可能不可用，但它们稍后会回来。
如果站点持续关闭，请使用Ahmia搜索站点的新位置。
暗网(Dark Web)中有很多页面可供查看，但我们显然不会告诉你在哪里可以买到枪或假护照。所以上面的链接是一个很好的起点，从那里你将立即向十几个不同的方向前进。
一路顺风。
A Quick Guide To Navigating The Dark Web
Thanks to a certain online drugs
marketplace called “Sіlk Road”, you may have become aware thаt there is another
version of the Internet out there. Оne which cannot be accеssed by any ordinary
browser or indexed by any ordіnary search engine.
It is called the Dark Web, not to be confused with the Deep Web, which are websites which cannot be ordinarily accessed due to paywalls or password-protected login pages (such as online banking).
The Dark Web has some legitimate
valid uses, such as protecting the free speech of dissidents and activists in
countries run by oppressive regimes (such as China). But mostly, the Dark Web
has been referred to as the “dark underbelly of the web”. A lot of it comprises
drugs, pornography, gambling, hitmen, and various other criminal enterprises.
That being the case, you might ask why it is worth even looking at it if you are not inclined that way. I would argue that it is worth taking a look, even if it’s just for curiosity’s sake. It’s a fascinating glimpse at another world.
The Onion (Tor)
Browser
To access the Dark Web, you need a specialised browser. Using Firefox, Chrome or Safari is not going to work. To access the Dark Web, you need the Onion Browser (otherwise known as Tor). You can download and install the Tor Browser by going to the Tor website.
Being a modified Firefox browser, the Tor browser can access regular internet sites as well, but one of its main purposes is to access the dark web. Tor will protect your location by running your internet traffic through several “Tor Relays” (virtual private networks) so Tor runs much slower than a regular browser. Such is the price for your privacy.
The Dark Web’s URLs
The Dark Web runs on its own URL format, namely the .onion format. So whereas a regular link might be http://www.website.com, a Dark Web link would be http://thg67klkk4ksl9s.onion.
As you can see, a Dark Web link does not use .com or .net, .org, or any of the other usual website domain endings. And a Dark Web link also does not have a proper name like “Google” or “Yahoo” or “eBay”.
Instead it is a random selection of characters which makes Dark Web sites hard to find and guess. This is part of what makes the Dark Web attractive to criminals and others who want to operate under the radar.
Since Dark Web sites go up and down all the time, and figuring out the URL is pretty much impossible, even Dark Web search engines are notoriously unreliable! But if you are a blogger in say Beijing, you wouldn’t want your Dark Web site indexed anyway by a search engine for the government to track you. You would instead rely on word of mouth from trusted supporters to find you.
Diving Into The
Dark Web
Once you have the Tor browser
installed and open (which is extremely easy and requires no special
configurations), it’s time to look at some sites.
I should say before continuing that
although Tor is a modified Firefox browser, you should NOT install any Firefox
extensions. There are two extensions already pre-installed – NoScript and HTTPS
Everywhere. They are there for your security – do not install any others.
With that in mind, also remember that the Dark Web is the Wild West of the Internet. There are no rules and you are going to encounter some seriously creepy and dangerous individuals if you venture onto forums and chat rooms.
Therefore do not reveal any personally identifying information about yourself and be extremely cautious about what links you click on. If you click on child pornography, for example, you will be putting yourself in serious legal jeopardy if the police is monitoring the site. Ignorance is not a defence.
Search Engines & Directories
Almost everyone universally agrees that the best place to start with the Dark Web is Ahmia.fi . This is a Dark Web search engine which can be accessed on the regular Internet too.
Making your way around the Dark Web involves just looking at search engines and directories and basically browsing until you find what you want. Each of you will have your own different interests so it would be pointless to send you in one particular direction.
So here are a list of some search directories and pages that will send you off scurrying down the Dark Web rabbithole. Let us know in the comments what you find. Some of these links may not be available when you try to visit, but they will come back later.
If the site is continuously down, use Ahmia to search for the site’s new location.
There are SO MANY pages to look at in the Dark Web, but we’re obviously not going to show you where to buy a gun or a fake passport. So the links above are a good starting point and from there you will immediately go off in a dozen different directions all at once.
Have fun and be safe.
