Since this is a loved comment and people will read, I'd like to add that javascript can de-anonymize you, even when using tor. Make sure that your browser is set to safest (click the shield icon in the top left) and that javascript is disabled. type "about:config" in the search bar and set javascript-enabled to false.

Generally that's a bit exaggerated Not many are really willing to go to that extent just to track you down and hurt you cause of the effort. At the end of the day it's still mostly normal people behind the network plus probably buying some stuff or browsing. Surprisingly there's still a ton of normal websites in the deep web but otherwise still be cautious cause it won't hurt plus don't do anything illegal.
@@boscodomingo to add to this, keep an eye on your active connections in whatever browser the tails VM uses by default (idr if it's in the browser or in the OS gui).

What is the most useful thing a "normal person" can do with Tor that doesn't involve entertainment? Is there a way to get better news? Books? Software for work? I'm guessing it would be a way to acquire ways to defend ourselves, but besides that...
If you consider an aspiring hacker a "normal person" than this kind of resources that they could find on the dark web and connections they could make on those forums are immeasurably valuable for their learning. Apart from that, the dark web surfing can give to "a normal person" a great impression and lesson why this kind of shit is forbidden, illegal and tabooed and why they should avoid it for their own sanity.
@@ВалерийШадрин-л5г as a hacker I’d say practising hacking deep web sites is way better than clear net engagements as 1 you won’t be reported and 2, you’ll actually learn a lot more about how to identify running services on servers and injection/ directory traversal etc
@@macktheripper7454 Interesting, never looked at it that way. For your second point, what specifically about sites on the dark web makes them better for detecting those things?
The one reason I'd use a VPN in combination with TOR is to mitigate any potential exploits that could reveal your true IP address; obviously it wouldn't be the "true IP" if it's a VPN, though it can still be traced back to you by governments and such if leaked, so not much use there.
Is there a way to find out if someone is on a watch list? I know theres the No Fly list in regards to terrorism, but general crime databases seem to be out of reach for most.
I'm not much of a techie, but i guess it depends on your and your ISP's equipment, the internet infrastructure in your state and in the area you live in. Tor connections require many-many all over the world jumps of small data packets, and it benefits to live in the ISP infrustructure and Tor nodes dense area like the US or Europe. My Tor connections also don't impress me with the speed. For example, i usually have the ping in online games in about 100-200 ms range, so it adds up with every packet jump to many seconds. American ping is usually about 20 ms or so, and many Tor nodes are also in America, so yeah, that helps.
Anyone remember when it didn't come with a browser bundle but you had to manually route one of your existing browsers through TOR? Pepperidge farm remembers.
Tor is funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, by the Ford Foundation, etc. Given the many wierd things that have happened, including the KAX17 incidents and the briefing that governmental agencies recieve from the Tor team, regarding the potential fragilities of Tor, can it really still be trusted? Tor recieves most of its funding from the US gov. Shouldnt we move to I2P?
@@negrastormentas2865 I can’t be. But I do want to direct your attention to the lengths the FBI took to take down The Silk Road, a hidden service. The location of the server was discovered after the server owner was staked-out IRL by the feds for months before they yoinked his recently unencrypted laptop. The server location was then tracked to Iceland and shutdown. That story was about a decade ago, but nevertheless should assure you of Tor’s robustness.
Can you do a video explaining GPG or PGP like a human? Every time I read docs about it my brain rejects what I read. I use it for pass but that's about it. And I know it does a lot more
Tails has a good way to store bookmarks and other data by using persistent storage. Since Tails can run off of a USB memory card without having a hard drive in the system, it does not store any data in the operating system. The persistent storage on the memory card is password protected, so, even if someone were to have your tails system, booting it up would just show a sterile system and not the persistent storage. You have the choice of using tor to browse the web without unlocking your persistent storage on boot-up. This is good for browsing sites that migh be sketchy by not allowing an attacker to potentially gain access. When it comes time to use a dark web service such as proton mail via the dark web, the persistent storage can be unlocked to display the dark web address of the saved bookmark.
Would it not just be an extra layer of security to use a VPN and Tor together? I mean I understand from what you said why you don't NEED to, but is there any security risk posed for doing so or would it just simply be 0 added benefit?
Yes. Technically it would be an extra level of security. Like OP said in video the anonymity of Tor and encryption provided is far greater than that of a VPN. I believe the Tor browser even has an additional VPN option with it. That being said encryption can be decrypted and, like you said, it’s not going to hurt anything having an additional level of security or protection. When big hacks occur and the FBI or agencies try and trace them they find the hacker has multiple VPNs making it extremely difficult to trace to the actual source. They pass through one VPN only to find another and so on and so forth. So you could make the argument for them like ‘well there’s no reason to use a second VPN if you already have one’… well what happens if someone gets past that level of encryption. So in general, yes it would just be extra security. How necessary is it? It just depends what you’re doing I suppose.
He is right. If you don't have a VPN that should almost never stop you from using TOR. If you have a VPN on your network by default it's not worth the effort to dismantle it, in my opinion, to use TOR either although Mental Outlaw may disagree. Your milage may vary.
@MentalOutlaw can hackers (or anyone) hack into or access (like Remote Access) my files on my computer when I go to the dark web using tor? please I really would like to know if that would be a possibility. Thank you. P.S I so love your videos. Please keep them coming.
5:03 a video game called “welcome to the game” uses VPNs a a way to stay hidden (doesn’t help) hidden and also some ordinary games uses 5-6 vpns and a virtual machine
One booru site offered an onion site but required you to sign in. Fair enough, but the way they implemented their redirect was to redirect every page to the sign in page. Even the registration page. They then force-redirected every public exit node ip to the tor site. So you couldn't register save through clearnet without a really dumb workaround.
@@thomas.thomas It's a normally clearnet site that tried to make a tor site available, but did not think through their implementation. My point is that most sites just pay lip-service to privacy, but fall down on their face.
I don't understand, I used to be able to connect to tor without a problem. All of a sudden I can't connect to it anymore. Not even with bridges. Some people said it has something to do with your system's time, but I re-synced all of that and still nothing. Any ideas?
Also for goodness sake don't forget to disable JavaScript and don't maximise the window. I could go on all day but please do your research any TH-camr can't help you save yourself.
@Artistic Cat I don't know specifics but something about people being able to know the size of your screen can help them figure out what your using. Something like that. 🤷♀️
@Artistic Cat it's just another easier way to identify you if you have a certain monitor or screen size then people can know what setup/display monitor you're using. It's not outright dangerous but it's just another little thing to note down about the user. I could go into details about pgp, hiding privacy and more but right now I'm on probation I'll defiantly set up a second TH-cam account and do some videos similar to mental out law as I learned from an old school TH-cam "AVI" but for now all I can say is the more you research something the better. Even if it's just a little bit of info once a week.
Another good video, just as you got us used to. By the way, an acquaintance of mine told me about Kodachi Linux. Do you know anything about it? And if you do, what's your opinion? Continue to do a great work!
Anything covered in this video law enforcement for sure already is aware of. Any website on the dark net where you want to purchase something or someone you're going to need to be sent an invite with a link, even then it may take forever loading as it passes through all the vpns the website's owner has it route through.
saw this on my recommendations and I think I found the jackpot because I'm a website surfer when it comes to hidden websites like this thanks for teaching me about the other applications aswell
Why isn't it working for me? Whenever I search for an onion site on my phone the search just doesn't work saying "conectin unsecure" with the lock icon crossed red, how do I fix this?
@@xtdycxtfuv9353 bro this is literally our reality over here in europoor as there isn’t enough electricity to go around because of EU legislation and foolish (well planned & very intentional) politics
I would say that using a VPN with tor does have one use. Running an exit node. Your connection will be used for some shady shit, and there have been many a story of people having authority's rocking up to the door of people that run them. This is because some super illegal shit was done with their exit node connection. A VPN with port forwarding enabled to let the exit node run through would mean they don't come knocking. You obviously want to use a VPN that has already proven itself in court to not have logs, making it a dead end on an actual investigation, like PIA or ExpressVPN.
@@ilearncode7365 That's why, generally, Universities and organisations run them. It is easy for them to convince the police that running a tor node != network activity from them. For us plebs, we get the iron boot. But as long as you are not running an exit node, and just running a relay, you will be fine. DON'T RUN AN EXIT NODE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
@@quifix2506 They are "no logs" by audit. That is not the same as "no logs" by court. No log by audit = These guys we payed to look at our stuff say it is cool. (Another layer of "shift of trust") Getting a VPN is a shift of trust from ISP to VPN. An audited VPN shifts trust from the VPN to the Audit Company. No log by court = trust me, here is concrete proof we literally have no logs. The power of the state itself failed to get any logs. Whether that is via court, or a raid by the alphabet boys. There is another trick as well you can do as a cherry on top. Check to see if any investigations were hampered by an ISP's network layout that is available in your area. This is because some ISP's use CGNAT, (carrier grade network address translation). This basically means that multiple users are on the same IP address at the same time. Since we have run out of IPV 4 addresses, this is becoming more commonplace, however, you mainly find it on mobile networks. It would take a pretty onerous judge to give out a warrant to raid multiple peoples homes, sharing an IP just because that's just how the Network does things. They would need more proof to narrow down the exact user.
I like the idea of the dark web but I don't have anything to do when I'm there. I'm not interested in anything illegal. I just want to be able to learn new things and to find fun -- but benign -- things without my privacy being picked over by techno hyenas.

What is the most useful thing a "normal person" can do with Tor that doesn't involve entertainment? Is there a way to get better news? Books? Software for work? I'm guessing it would be a way to acquire ways to defend ourselves, but besides that...
yeah i actually wonder too
If you consider an aspiring hacker a "normal person" than this kind of resources that they could find on the dark web and connections they could make on those forums are immeasurably valuable for their learning. Apart from that, the dark web surfing can give to "a normal person" a great impression and lesson why this kind of shit is forbidden, illegal and tabooed and why they should avoid it for their own sanity.
@@ВалерийШадрин-л5г as a hacker I’d say practising hacking deep web sites is way better than clear net engagements as 1 you won’t be reported and 2, you’ll actually learn a lot more about how to identify running services on servers and injection/ directory traversal etc

The one reason I'd use a VPN in combination with TOR is to mitigate any potential exploits that could reveal your true IP address; obviously it wouldn't be the "true IP" if it's a VPN, though it can still be traced back to you by governments and such if leaked, so not much use there.
Tor already provides that level of protection

How is your tor browser so fast? Mine is always really slow.
I'm not much of a techie, but i guess it depends on your and your ISP's equipment, the internet infrastructure in your state and in the area you live in. Tor connections require many-many all over the world jumps of small data packets, and it benefits to live in the ISP infrustructure and Tor nodes dense area like the US or Europe. My Tor connections also don't impress me with the speed. For example, i usually have the ping in online games in about 100-200 ms range, so it adds up with every packet jump to many seconds. American ping is usually about 20 ms or so, and many Tor nodes are also in America, so yeah, that helps.
Anyone remember when it didn't come with a browser bundle but you had to manually route one of your existing browsers through TOR? Pepperidge farm remembers.
thanks for being so simple and stright foward
Tor is funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, by the Ford Foundation, etc. Given the many wierd things that have happened, including the KAX17 incidents and the briefing that governmental agencies recieve from the Tor team, regarding the potential fragilities of Tor, can it really still be trusted? Tor recieves most of its funding from the US gov. Shouldnt we move to I2P?
I don’t know anything about i2p but I’m certain Tor is secure.

@@negrastormentas2865 I can’t be. But I do want to direct your attention to the lengths the FBI took to take down The Silk Road, a hidden service. The location of the server was discovered after the server owner was staked-out IRL by the feds for months before they yoinked his recently unencrypted laptop. The server location was then tracked to Iceland and shutdown. That story was about a decade ago, but nevertheless should assure you of Tor’s robustness.

Tails has a good way to store bookmarks and other data by using persistent storage. Since Tails can run off of a USB memory card without having a hard drive in the system, it does not store any data in the operating system. The persistent storage on the memory card is password protected, so, even if someone were to have your tails system, booting it up would just show a sterile system and not the persistent storage.
You have the choice of using tor to browse the web without unlocking your persistent storage on boot-up. This is good for browsing sites that migh be sketchy by not allowing an attacker to potentially gain access. When it comes time to use a dark web service such as proton mail via the dark web, the persistent storage can be unlocked to display the dark web address of the saved bookmark.

Would it not just be an extra layer of security to use a VPN and Tor together? I mean I understand from what you said why you don't NEED to, but is there any security risk posed for doing so or would it just simply be 0 added benefit?
Yes. Technically it would be an extra level of security. Like OP said in video the anonymity of Tor and encryption provided is far greater than that of a VPN. I believe the Tor browser even has an additional VPN option with it. That being said encryption can be decrypted and, like you said, it’s not going to hurt anything having an additional level of security or protection.
When big hacks occur and the FBI or agencies try and trace them they find the hacker has multiple VPNs making it extremely difficult to trace to the actual source. They pass through one VPN only to find another and so on and so forth. So you could make the argument for them like ‘well there’s no reason to use a second VPN if you already have one’… well what happens if someone gets past that level of encryption.
So in general, yes it would just be extra security. How necessary is it? It just depends what you’re doing I suppose.
He is right. If you don't have a VPN that should almost never stop you from using TOR. If you have a VPN on your network by default it's not worth the effort to dismantle it, in my opinion, to use TOR either although Mental Outlaw may disagree. Your milage may vary.
Look, just because you use a glowie soyjak in the thumbnail doesn't mean you're not a glowie for making this.
just a question, it isnt dangerous to enter dark web in our main OS, like windows, even if i only want to explore the sites
@MentalOutlaw

@@seanfaherty I'm not the one saying that, read the comments
phobos not on list anymore??
One booru site offered an onion site but required you to sign in. Fair enough, but the way they implemented their redirect was to redirect every page to the sign in page. Even the registration page. They then force-redirected every public exit node ip to the tor site. So you couldn't register save through clearnet without a really dumb workaround.
why would you try to register through clearnet? or was it a website which was designed for both tor and clearnet?
@@thomas.thomas It's a normally clearnet site that tried to make a tor site available, but did not think through their implementation. My point is that most sites just pay lip-service to privacy, but fall down on their face.
I don't understand, I used to be able to connect to tor without a problem. All of a sudden I can't connect to it anymore. Not even with bridges. Some people said it has something to do with your system's time, but I re-synced all of that and still nothing. Any ideas?

Also for goodness sake don't forget to disable JavaScript and don't maximise the window. I could go on all day but please do your research any TH-camr can't help you save yourself.
@Artistic Cat I don't know specifics but something about people being able to know the size of your screen can help them figure out what your using. Something like that. 🤷♀️
@Artistic Cat it's just another easier way to identify you if you have a certain monitor or screen size then people can know what setup/display monitor you're using. It's not outright dangerous but it's just another little thing to note down about the user. I could go into details about pgp, hiding privacy and more but right now I'm on probation I'll defiantly set up a second TH-cam account and do some videos similar to mental out law as I learned from an old school TH-cam "AVI" but for now all I can say is the more you research something the better. Even if it's just a little bit of info once a week.
yeah but lots of people use 1080p anyway unless you use some antique resolution
You can maximize your window, since tor is spoofing the resolution in new versions. Don't use old versions!

doesn't VPN mask your IP on the entry node which is visible to the entry node server admin? and also mask your IP at the decrypting end?
Now my internet is not glowing; how to fix?
ddos?
This video got recommend, and I clicked out of curiosity. If it's bad TH-cam takes it down itself.
I would say that using a VPN with tor does have one use. Running an exit node. Your connection will be used for some shady shit, and there have been many a story of people having authority's rocking up to the door of people that run them. This is because some super illegal shit was done with their exit node connection. A VPN with port forwarding enabled to let the exit node run through would mean they don't come knocking.
You obviously want to use a VPN that has already proven itself in court to not have logs, making it a dead end on an actual investigation, like PIA or ExpressVPN.
Sounds super scary!
@@ilearncode7365 That's why, generally, Universities and organisations run them. It is easy for them to convince the police that running a tor node != network activity from them.
For us plebs, we get the iron boot. But as long as you are not running an exit node, and just running a relay, you will be fine.
DON'T RUN AN EXIT NODE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
What about nord vpn?
@@quifix2506 They are "no logs" by audit. That is not the same as "no logs" by court.
No log by audit = These guys we payed to look at our stuff say it is cool. (Another layer of "shift of trust")
Getting a VPN is a shift of trust from ISP to VPN. An audited VPN shifts trust from the VPN to the Audit Company.
No log by court = trust me, here is concrete proof we literally have no logs.
The power of the state itself failed to get any logs. Whether that is via court, or a raid by the alphabet boys.
There is another trick as well you can do as a cherry on top. Check to see if any investigations were hampered by an ISP's network layout that is available in your area.
This is because some ISP's use CGNAT, (carrier grade network address translation). This basically means that multiple users are on the same IP address at the same time.
Since we have run out of IPV 4 addresses, this is becoming more commonplace, however, you mainly find it on mobile networks.
It would take a pretty onerous judge to give out a warrant to raid multiple peoples homes, sharing an IP just because that's just how the Network does things. They would need more proof to narrow down the exact user.
You should do a podcast
