Right.
So now that we have everything installed and configured we know which browsers to use.
And we are connected to the terror network.
It's time to go ahead and actually start browsing the deep net and online services.
Now if you think of it we've been using the Internet for a while and we take it for granted.
So usually when you turn on your computer you open your web browser and then you start going to your
favorite Web sites because we already know these Web sites and we know their domain names.
When it comes to the deep net though things are slightly different.
First because we are still new to this.
So you don't really know many Web sites you can directly go to Web sites.
This will change over time.
If you start using it for a while obviously you will have favorite Web sites and you'll know them and
you'll be going directly to them.
Not only that but we're also used to using Google and other search engines to search for Web sites that
are interesting to us.
Unfortunately Google and most search engines do not index online services.
So if you search for a certain topic and if there are online services or on your own Web sites that
cover this topic Google or these other search engines will not show it to you because they ignore these
Web sites.
Therefore in this lecture I want to show you some entry points to Tor hidden services or online services.
What I mean by entry points is Web sites that we can use to discover other Web sites or to get to other
Web sites or to other online services.
Even though we're using the deep net which is like I said slightly different than the clear net or the
Internet that you use all the time.
The idea of finding Web sites is very similar.
The easiest method is using search engines.
So I'm going to cover a number of search engines in here.
And the second method is using directories or Web sites that list other Web sites.
So starting with search engines and starting with the simplest one we're going to go to doctor go dot
com.
Now this is a clear net Web site.
You can access this Web site without using detour browser and using the search engine.
You can search for Web sites on both on the clear net and search for Tor hidden services or online services.
Now the cool thing about Dr. Koh is the fact that it does not collect any data about the users.
Unlike Google and other search engines and it does not show targeted ads.
So it's more private than other search engines.
And like I said we can use it to discover Tor hidden services.
Now the way I access that right now is using the clear net domain names that go dot com.
But you can also access it using an online service link which I have right here.
Now we know this is a hidden service because as you can see the link ends with a dot onion.
So any Web site that ends with a dot onion it means this is an onion or a Tawhid in service that can
only be accessed from within the Tor network and therefore it's considered as a darknet Web site.
So even if you go and copy this link and paste it in a normal web browser such as Firefox or Chrome
the Web site will not load because that browser is not connected to the terror network.
Therefore you can only access these Web sites from the top browser or from Thales because as we know
tells automatically routs all traffic through the Tor network.
Don't worry I'll include this in the resources of this lecture.
So if I just paste this in here and my you are Albar this will take slightly longer because where access
and it through detour network but as you can see we got to the same page using the page is going to
be the same.
And we're going to be getting the same functionality from the page.
The only difference is when you access a Web site using its clear net domain name we're going to first
of all go through the Tor network because we're using the Tor browser and then we're going to exit the
network.
And like I said the traffic sent in here will not benefit from the privacy that Tor offers.
So it won't be encrypted unless hash TTP is used.
And then this traffic will go to the target Web site.
But when you access the online service link which is what I access right now right here we will never
leave the Tor network.
So we'll be going through the third network again but we will never leave the Tor network.
The last node will contain the online service that we requested and therefore we will fully benefit
from the privacy that Tor offers.
Now once you are in the search engine as you can see using it is very very simple and intuitive.
All you have to do is just type the websites that you're looking for are the topics that you're looking
for.
Like I said we can use to go to search for both clear net and onion hidden services.
So for example if I wanted to go to a clear net Web site I can look for that security and as you can
see we got accurate results for that security the first link will actually take you to my Web site.
And if we wanted to search for an online service for example I want to search for another search engine.
And this one is called not evil.
So I'm gonna type not evil.
Search engine and maybe I'll add onion to the search query and as you can see the first result is actually
the correct onion link to this onion hidden service.
I already have it in here as well so we can just copied and pasted here or you can copy it from here.
Just make sure you remove the dog T O from the end.
I like copy pasting links and instead of clicking them because sometimes when I click on a link you
don't really know where this is going to go because the text that you see here is not always what the
browser loads.
Therefore even if you see a link like this it's best to paste to copy it open a new tab or open it in
the same tab as you wish but make sure you copy and then paste the link that way you're sure that you're
going to the link that you're seeing on screen.
Now as you can see not evil has loaded for us.
Now this is another search engine but this time unlike duck duck go this search engine does not offer
a clear net address.
It only offers an online service address.
Also it can only search detour had the network so it can only search for online services now.
As you can see there are no ads on the page.
There is no tracking with this search engine.
And in my experience I get pretty accurate results with it.
So let's say we want to search for vulnerability as you can see again.
Very simple you get all the Web sites that might contain interesting stuff for you.
You can click on them or copy or copy paste the link if you wanted to and then you'll get to the Web
site that you're looking for.
Now I should also mention that this search engine used to be called Tor search.
And like I said to be honest this has to be my favorite search engine now the next one that I want to
show you is called torch which is short for your search engine.
Now you can just look for it here so we can type torch search engine.
So these are Web sites that will actually contain links link into the search engine or I actually have
the link right here so I'm just going to copy and pasted
and again very similar to the other search engines that I showed you.
All you have to do is type the thing that you're looking for.
And here again let's look for vulnerability and you'll get your results right here.
Now what I don't like about the search engine as you saw in the home page there are a number of ads
for other Tor hidden services and a lot of them are a scam.
They also slow down the browser and slow down the whole computer.
If you don't have a lot of resources that's why it's not my favorite but it's a very very popular search
engine.
That's why I'm covering it here the next search engine that I want to show you.
And the last one is called Amaya.
So again we're going to copy its link and paste it here
now again similar to the others.
This will only search for online services very simple and easy to use as an example.
I'm going to look for vulnerability and I misspelled it as you can see it's nice it's correct in it
for me.
And again we're getting the results that's relevant to what I search for.
Now as you can see this one does not have ads similar to torch but the quality of the results that you
get here are not as good as not evil.
So like I said not evil has to be my favorite and the three that I showed you so far.
Now keep in mind the links that were using the tour or the onion links that we're using right here could
change from time to time.
So these links that I'm using right now might fail at the time that you're watching this video.
That's why it's always a good idea when if the link doesn't work to search for the Web site name.
For example if you're trying to go to not evil go on Dr. Koh or one of the other search engines and
look for not evil.
Search engine similar to the others if you're looking for a torch and it's down.
Then look for it on Dr. Koh or not evil.
And then you can go from there.
Not only that but even search and on Dr. Koh you'll actually see a lot of clear net Web sites.
So normal Web sites that we use everyday listing links for other deep net or online services.
So if you search for a torch search engine for example on Dr Koh you'll get a lot of results of normal
Web sites giving you valid links to online services.
Now that's the easiest way of discovering onion hidden services using search engines.
And in the next lecture I'm going to show you more methods or more ways of discovering hidden services.
