This is fucked up... But also you were stupid to do this. Hindsight, eh??

Yup. Messed with me pretty good. What little I managed to see is practically stuck in my head ever since. The positive things is that fads like 2 girls 1 cup, pain olympics and shit only manage to get a raised eyebrow from me. That other shit was fucking malevolent. There was ill intent behind it and that made it worse.

Tell me about that.
I often read that term on, say, Encyclopaedia Dramatica but I never knew what it's about.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm pretty hardy to a lot of things now - I've made accidental clicks in the past, stumbled into places I definitely shouldn't have been. Hell, even on the clear net. The deep web takes the biscuit though - anything goes, pretty much, and I hear a lot of stories about what you can find down there. It's basically a haven for psychopaths in some places. Luckily I've never found anything too bad - you just have to be vigilant when navigating around.

Yikes. That's already enough, I guess... :(

There's much worse out there...
 
Looks like refbatch made a new Youtube account earlier this year:

http://www.youtube.com/user/refbatchrefbatch/videos

Her old videos (thousands upon thousands of them) seem to be gone though, which is unfortunate. Her... decline was pretty fascinating to watch. The first comment on her first video was "You were human, once."

What the hell is she even talking about? First video I clicked had no audio, second she was outside and barely talking... what's her agenda? She sounded paranoid...

I fully believe you.
The worst I saw was a gif from a video on /b/ (I sure as hell don't go there anymore sicne then) which involved a noose, a nude woman and the worst kind of autoerotic asphyxiation :(
I'm so happy I never went to rotten.com (please don't go there, it's horribly horribly NSFW) and only heard stories about what can be seen on the site (mostly gore).
 
Beastforum.... Not only strange but bloody disturbing.

Heck if I know. As far as I could tell, even Russian commenters were stumped.

There's rumors that she was committed, deemed not to be a threat to society and thus released with a prescription for certain meds, but then prohibited from taking them by her husband. All hearsay, though. Her Youtube history is bizarre. Long stretches of time where she was basically uploading 24/7. Sometimes she has escorts of some kind with her monitoring her for whatever reason... Just weird all around.

It's crazy stuff like this is available and allowed. Ridiculous.
At least now I've seen some of the darker sides of the internet, I only want to stay here in the clearer side. Now I know what's out here and my curiosity has been fulfilled, I'm happy to leave it behind me now. Unless, of course, I get wind of something new...


Fucking lol.

Which is exactly why I'm in this thread :)
I'm damn curious about these things for a reason I don't know myself.
But at least nowadays I know when to be cautious. ;)

Last night I downloaded TOR 3 times. Cancelled the installation at around 50% each time.

Not sure if want. I'm scared of the deep web but i'm intrigued...
 
where do i start...

Dunno?

Hm, I was kind of like that first time - well, I didn't download it 3 times haha, but I left it there on my desktop for ages before trying it out.
Don't worry about getting into trouble... I mean, USING TOR is legal - just depends what you do whilst you're on it. It's near enough anonymous too, and even if you get caught, the law isn't going to waste their time looking for someone who stumbled onto a drugs marketplace if he didn't buy anything, know what I mean?

Just have a look around - it's really interesting. Go visit SilkRoad - it's interesting, not just for the drugs, but for the other things people sell too. Then check out a forum somewhere, read the hidden wiki... just avoid the obvious things - they're usually pretty well advertised. Like I said earlier in the thread, I wouldn't click anything with 'chan' or 'CP' in the name, just as a heads up.


That almost crashed my browser for some reason... I like how it prompts you to become his friend too.

What kind of research papers are there anyway? Is it like grotesque human experiments?

Noooo. Well, yes, if you look for that kind, but the ones you'll stumble upon will be legitimate scientific/mathematical documents, ranging form anything to everything.
Some research papers are on national history, others on the complex workings of scientific equipment... actually, the most interesting one I found was a document detailing components of a nuclear reactor.
Come to think of it, it might have been illegal or leaked or something... I dunno. But yeah, it all depends where you look. I'm sure there's gross stuff out there somewhere, describing autopsies or whatever.

Haha sounds like it would be the type of paper you'd find on your subscription database except for the leaked stuff.
I actually downloaded tor back in the day in high school to get past the school internet filters.

Yeah I guess, some people just publish there work there, or collate that of others. Some are huge though - makes you wonder, again, if they're even available elsewhere.

Also, isn't chipsandsalad or saladandchips another one of those weird websites? I got linked it once.
 
so wait, is this hidden web thing illegal? im a curious guy and--- im curious. :| obviously not wanting to look at some jailbait whatnot. i just wanna see the actual 'hidden wiki' webpage.

but im literally scared. you guys are making it sound like its a gateway to hell.

and what are these "dark" "horrible" unimaginable" things? the DARKEST thing i can think of are like.. child porn and maybe murder videos. but ive seen murder videos. if theres anything darker than child porn, then.. wow. :|

edit: found it its illegal. haha. sorry.

It's legal to use, but may be against your ISP's terms of service, so check first (I'm gonna go ahead and say whatever, because they'll only give you a warning at first anyway).

It's a gateway to something... not sure if it's hell. It's really what you make of it. Sure, there are some horrible things on there - Child porn and murder? Combine the two and it's probably on there.
I seriously don't want to go into it though, because it's a foul subject, is probably against GAF's ToS and I've never seen it first hand, so couldn't paint a very accurate picture for you, but I've basically heard there's some terrible things on there, porn related, gore related, torture, abuse... anything, really, I guess, because nothing's regulated.
I've only ever seen adverts (links) for the middle level stuff, like child porn and murder videos. Never actually seen any of this myself, like I say, but it's there.
This said, there are some very interesting things on there - perhaps the word 'wonderful' might fit the description, but it depends how you get excited.
A wealth of knowledge, bizarre and interesting marketplaces, communities of hackers and seriously talented computer scientists etc, leaks of all descriptions - upcoming technology, governmental things on different levels...
I basically visited to find the weird, elusive and interesting, and you can find it if you look.
I remember some guy was advertising this document to download of 100+ pages, full of serials of some kind, or strings of numbers anyway, claiming it was highly important to a certain organisation, but "not in a way you'd imagine", or words to that effect.
That's just cool to witness, y'know? Cool to find.
 
There's nothing you'll see that isn't possible to see on /b/.

And Tor is very much legal. You can thank the U.S. Navy for its existence, in fact. It's simply a way to get closer to anonymity and to provide access hidden resource content that standard browsers and indexing doesn't see. It's for safe communications and political dissidents.

If you don't already have knowledge of a hidden resource to access, you're going to end up crawling through publicly available stuff. And CP weirdos are the most forthright about spreading their filth around, so a lot of the stuff that you can just find by traveling around from the Hidden Wiki leans in that direction.

Basically the whole point of hidden resources is that you can't just crawl around and explore because that defeats the purpose of the concept.

It's also worth pointing out that people do use Tor to release things anonymously if needed... But after that point you're going to easily find that content on the indexed web.

This is a valid point - you're not gonna find a great deal of things just navigating certain 'surface' sites, so you should be fine and protected from some of the more gruesome things.

You have to be careful summing TOR up, because in one instance, it's home to a lot of strange people who post whatever they desire.

But on the other hand, it's not the height of anonymity or the definitive index of secretive/illegal behaviour - people that are truly concerned about concealing their identity, or wish to engage in other, more serious illegal activities (such as mass fraud, criminal networks, trafficking, digital attacks) will use far more sophisticated and 'professional' systems. TOR's like a middle ground - probably only a quarter of the way down, actually, if you think of the 'internet' like a deep lake.

That's just 9 seconds of a dude riding a bike, filmed through a windscreen.

:/

Well yeah.. haha. But his channel is full of them.. Is there a way to see how many uploads there is on a channel? Because I'm not about to count them all...

man this is interesting. can i get viruses on my mac? haha!
 
The stuff accesible via TOR sounds really interesting but I dunno if I want to bother with it knowing what some of the portals can potentially lead to. Some of those links to gibberish websites just strikes me as stuff that someone made on a lark with the intention of weirding people out. I'm sure there's a pretty great NOSLEEP reddit story that can be fashioned out of the concept of Deep Web hmmmmmm
 
Good God awesome thread. Subscribed.

Trying not to ruin the spirit of the thread by getting derailed looking at these awesome links before posting my own, but any kind of description with your links is appreciated. Like, globalmove.us is an art project more or less, I had to research that a bit since the marker started in the South Pacific near Pitcairn and then went bananas.

Mine are:
Efukt.com
A bunch of stuff, but most importantly, porn accidents. Wherein women accidentally shit themselves during anal scenes, and other stuff, all of it is more or less painful to watch for one reason or another. Also found there is the soul-wrecking "Trolling of Wannabe Porn Stars" from the wonderful assholes at FacialAbuse which after further consideration is the 2nd most upsetting non-violent series of videos I have ever seen in my 15 or so years of Web use. Those poor girls. Getting called fat & ugly, before, during & after sex is obviously something that a few of them are clearly not expecting it, are deeply hurt by it, and may never get over it. Especially when you factor in the fact that women typically need at least some level of emotion connection before sex (sex wherein they're brutally skull fucked till they vomit, while being slapped etc, called fat, ugly, etc, as I said before). Maybe they love it. Maybe some do. Not all those girls though. And now those are all over the internet in a fairly famous series of videos. Quite honestly I wonder how the guys over there can step out of their offices and not have their faces pounded into lunch meat or worse. I feel terrible for those girls. Porn girls or not. That shit is awful and seriously not for the faint of heart because those videos really depress me. I don't know why but for some reason those hit me hard and I found them to be truly strange. I feel like that sort of stuff is horrible for the porn industry because if I can't stomach it, then fuck. I mean I'm an old hand at this and that stuff seriously smudged my soul.

FuckedCompany.com (the message board, actually)
First place on the internet that I saw what I considered to be actual anonymous posts on any message board. Also where I saw the first real mocking of the U.S, jeering, "take that USA comments", RIGHT after 9/11. Days after. Also where I saw unbridled open racism and stuff after 9/11. Plus a whole bunch of other weird stuff.

That can't be real. If it's real why hasn't anyone reported that to the feds?

Anyways, I've been on the Silk Road, it's not hard to get too. Only an idiot buys from there, you either A. get scammed or B. get arrested, and the general community is made up of idiots barely literate teens who think they're "gangster and cool" for being on there.

in HS our local pot dealer was on there, and he would for those in the "know" tell us how to get there and guy the "good stuff" for cheaper. it wasn't cheaper nor was it good, he just wanted to be cool. He ended up getting arrested because he's an idiot.
I don't think what happened to your pal is what happens if you do the bitcoin thing + silk road. I have never done it but I don't think what you said there in bold is accurate.

Has anyone read this yet?

I tried to make it all the way through, but it gave me a headache. It's pretty scary/sad how that makes perfect sense to someone out there. I found it years ago on crank.net, which is a collection of crazy personal webpages. A lot of the links there are dead, though.

No problem! :D And Yeah, link explanations would be nice, people - I clicked that 111~111.com thing and the sound was so loud...

There's a lot of weird places on the clearnet that get away with it all... strange really.
And yeah, as I described in a past post, that's not what Silk Road is like at all.

And those are the paid sections.

But yea it's basically a bunch of horrible vids capturing terrible accidents and such. It's like when you hear about a women getting stoned to death or a man getting burned alive on the news. That site usually has the footage. Watched a video of a man burning alive once. Slowly. There was even a close up of him at the end.

See I don't get how people get a kick out of watching these - it's a bizarre obsession that I can't quite comprehend - whenever I see a similar video, I just feel a bit disgusted and move on.

I do, I understand. But I don't get how they would pay. I can however empathize with why they look at at stuff. Because I will look at, click on, anything. My eyes are a petri dish of bizarre & awful. Which is why this thread is my new BFF.

All/most/many of you guys have probably seen the same stuff as me for the most part, but in my circle of friends I am the one who has seen absolutely everything down to the last 1x1px tracking gif on the internet, and am very familiar with the darkest corners of the web and anything & everything in it.

As far as what that means to them, yes. Yes I have. It's going to take an act of god for Goofus McFootball from my Facebook to post a meme/link that I didn't pick up here or elsewhere months ago (days ago, in the speed of the web).

But as a result, I constantly have to wash my eyeballs and boil my earballs.

EDIT: Sorry dude, I edited!

Haha, yeah I suppose. There's always natural human curiosity I guess. And yeah, haha, just a shame this thread turned into a bit of a TOR discussion rather than more wicked links... I'll try find some then post later :D
