What is the URL for the "Dark Web"?
I keep hearing about the "Dark Web" on tv commercials. That sounds like
a fun place to go. But I cant find the URL for it. |

It's a way to see what kinds of things are on the hidden web http://www.torchtorsearch.com/ See: https://thehiddenwiki.org/ When you go to a website something called DNS server is the first stop along the way. Unless you picked one (domain name server) of your own, it is done automatically for you (your ISP supplies it). It parses the URL or domain names into their IP number (computers don't speak english they speak numbers) Not all web sites have names, computers don't need them. The dark web functions by word or mouth and invitation. You need the IP address (number) of the server with the info you want on it, rather than the URL. Every device has an IP address - that's how your computer talks to other connected devices like cameras, your router, or widgets that may be plugged into it or using WIFI. You don't have to use the DNS your ISP supplies but can hunt the web for others that are either more private or less restricting or both. That doesn't affect the dark web, but it can broaden your horizons a bit. PS I'm an electrical engineer and not a computer guru, so there are probably others that can educate you better than I. |

Forbidden fruit is always tastier? It is a (engineering) mind-set too. Tell me it can't be done, and I just have to try. |

Tell me it can't be done, and I just have to try. Good hunting then! I have no reason to. I did peruse some of the web sites that in-turn look at parts of the Dark Web to see what is there then duplicate it on their site. But given the sheer number of things like printers, routers, web cams, security cams, traffic cams, appliances, etc., with IP addresses, and the fact that even if you have the IP of some site that interests you, there's no guarantee the site will be up and working when you want to connect to it. The sheer volume makes it hard to search/visit. The people that are using it are probably members of the same club and pass the IP's among themselves. |

I think you need a spcial browser --isn't it "Tor" ?? Just for grins, I went to that dark web search engine someone listed in this thread. I carefully selected one ot the sites that seemed pretty safe (a free music one). It ended in "onion" (they all do). When I clicked on it with Firefox, I got a "not found" error message. I triend another one, same problem. So, I assume you cant access them with a regular browser. It looks like you need that Tor software. I'm not willing to take the risk of installing that software, even if I did know where to download it. Heck, if I want free music, it's all on youtube anyhow and any audio recording software can save it to my hard drive. Then again, the music I like is mostly oldies and a lot of that stuff no longer has copyrights. Or I can just buy it on vinyl or casette at Goodwill for 50 cents. Some of that dark web stuff sounds downright scary.... I'LL PASS!!! |

That's easy to do and you dont need a URL. What you do need is a good flashlight with decent batteries. Without the flashlight you wont see anything. It's the DARK WEB, so there are no lights on in there. Once you got your flashlight and tested it to make sure it's working properly, connect your computer to the internet. Once it's connected, turn off the power switch on your monitor. The moment you shut that switch off, you will enter the DARK WEB. Remember, it's VERY DARK in there. I suggest turning the lights off in your room too, to enhance the effect. Now, turn on your flashlight and shine it at your monitor. Look very deeply into the screen and watch for stray pixels. Those pixels are the things that you can point your fingers at, and each one takes you do a different part of the dark web. Just place a finger on any of those pixels and enjoy the show. It's a lot of fun in there. You never know what you might see. Just keep looking for pixels and look real deeply. And be careful. You might get eaten by a grue. But the most important thing to remember is ... .... that this is satire. Very good satire. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko |

Easiest way, on Windows, to get music is to run the youtube downloader. It converts the YouTube video to MP3 audio files (or any desired format). Windows freeware Youtube converter: https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe Audio conversion software (automatically run by the youtube converter): http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win...n64-static.zip Here is an example use to download any YouTube video: c:\ youtube-dl.exe https://youtu.be/n6eXtBbhpYg Here are more examples: Video download as MP4: cmd youtube-dl.exe -f 18 https://youtu.be/n6eXtBbhpYg Audio extraction as M4A: cmd youtube-dl.exe -f 140 https://youtu.be/n6eXtBbhpYg If you're on iOS, you're out of luck when it comes to powerful functionality; but if you're on Android, you can use the very powerful NewPipe freeware program which not only replaces YouTube completely, as it does *everything* YouTube does but it does so without ever having to log into YouTube and it downloads and strips out the audio just as well as the Windows youtube downloader does. https://newpipe.schabi.org/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/ |
