You've stumbled upon the largest privately run online repository of declassified government documents anywhere in the world. With more than 1.4 MILLION pages of documents to read, on nearly every government secret imaginable, The Black Vault is known worldwide for getting down to the truth... and nothing but.
Every document in this archive was obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Begun in 1996, at the age of 15, John Greenewald, Jr., began hammering the U.S. Government with FOIA requests to obtain information. The Black Vault is the result of that near 2 decade effort.

Torch is based on the Chromium source code. Torch's most recent version,
39.0.0.9626,
uses Chromium version 40, making it compatible with all add-ons and extensions
 available in the Chrome store. On June 18, 2013, Torch announced that it had
 surpassed 10 million 
active users.
The built-in BitTorrent client allows users to download torrent files. Users can directly
 share sites, videos, audio and search results with their Facebook and Twitter accounts.

WWW: #DarkNET #DeepWeb #TOR



Lets, talk about the Dark-Net:
You will need the TOR Browser:

TOR, The Onion Router
Want Tor to really work?
  1. Use Tor Browser
  1. Don't torrent over Tor
  1. Don't enable or install browser plugins
  1. Use HTTPS versions of websites
  1. Don't open documents downloaded through Tor while online
  1. Use bridges and/or find company


TOR The Onion Router:
While you can use GPG to secure the contents of your email, a state-level adversary with extensive taps on the big intercontinental submarine cables will still be able to see that you are emailing this other person. If someone from a government or military IP address range started sending encrypted mail to known investigative journalists (or other potential enemies of the state), there's a very strong risk there – even if the security forces can't read the contents of the messages.
Also visible for your ISP to see – and therefore also freely visible to the state via their ability to twist your ISP's arm in secret – is your web browsing, instant messaging, and anything else you're doing.
The most robust way to anonymise your internet use is to use Tor (The Onion Router), which does a very robust job of evading that sort of surveillance.

What is Tor? "The Onion Router"
Why Anonymity Matters
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.
Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location.


Do you want TOR to Work:

You need to change some of your habits, as some things won't work exactly as you are used to.
  1. Tor does not protect all of your computer's Internet traffic when you run it. Tor only protects your applications that are properly configured to send their Internet traffic through Tor. To avoid problems with Tor configuration, we strongly recommend you use the Tor Browser. It is pre-configured to protect your privacy and anonymity on the web as long as you're browsing with Tor Browser itself. Almost any other web browser configuration is likely to be unsafe to use with Tor.
  1. Torrent file-sharing applications have been observed to ignore proxy settings and make direct connections even when they are told to use Tor. Even if your torrent application connects only through Tor, you will often send out your real IP address in the tracker GET request, because that's how torrents work. Not only do you deanonymize your torrent traffic and your other simultaneous Tor web traffic this way, you also slow down the entire Tor network for everyone else.
  1. Tor Browser will block browser plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer, Quicktime, and others: they can be manipulated into revealing your IP address. Similarly, we do not recommend installing additional addons or plugins into Tor Browser, as these may bypass Tor or otherwise harm your anonymity and privacy.
  1. Tor will encrypt your traffic to and within the Tor network, but the encryption of your traffic to the final destination website depends upon on that website. To help ensure private encryption to websites, Tor Browser includes HTTPS Everywhere to force the use of HTTPS encryption with major websites that support it. However, you should still watch the browser URL bar to ensure that websites you provide sensitive information to display a blue or green URL bar button, include https:// in the URL, and display the proper expected name for the website. Also see EFF's interactive page explaining how Tor and HTTPS relate.
  1. Tor Browser will warn you before automatically opening documents that are handled by external applications. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING. You should be very careful when downloading documents via Tor (especially DOC and PDF files, unless you use the PDF viewer that's built into Tor Browser) as these documents can contain Internet resources that will be downloaded outside of Tor by the application that opens them. This will reveal your non-Tor IP address. If you must work with DOC and/or PDF files, we strongly recommend either using a disconnected computer, downloading the free VirtualBoxand  using it with a virtual machine image with networking disabled, or using Tails. Under no circumstances is it safe to use BitTorrent and Tor together, however.
  1. Tor tries to prevent attackers from learning what destination websites you connect to. However, by default, it does not prevent somebody watching your Internet traffic from learning that you're using Tor. If this matters to you, you can reduce this risk by configuring Tor to use a Tor bridge relay rather than connecting directly to the public Tor network. Ultimately the best protection is a social approach: the more Tor users there are near you and the more diverse their interests, the less dangerous it will be that you are one of them. Convince other people to use Tor, too!

Be smart and learn more. Understand what Tor does and does not offer. This list of pitfalls isn't complete, and we need your help identifying and documenting all the issues.

The Darknet: a Fraudster's Paradise

WWW: #FAI The Free Anonymous Internet project



This looks very useful for our little tribes.

The Free Anonymous Internet project, or FAI for short, is a decentralized ‘deep web’ service that is using blockchain technology to create a private, secure, peer-to-peer alternative to the regular world wide web.
Some people call this kind of thing ‘web 3.0’ to denote the continued progression from broadcast style sites on web 1.0, to the peer-to-peer communication and user-driven content of social networking giants in web 2.0, to the kind of user-driven platforms and P2P protocols which now seem likely to drive the next big internet revolution. The FAI team just call it the ‘next generation internet’.
FAI comes with its own digital currency based on the Bitcoin code, but also enables its users to publish their own media content and to browse content posted by others in complete privacy – without anybody being able to spy on what you are doing. There is even a built-in decentralized marketplace to buy and sell products with other users.
Getting Started
In order to access and use FAI, all you need to do is to download the client software. The best way that I can describe this software is that it is like a cross between a digital wallet and an internet browser.
You can download the latest version for Windows or Ubuntu from the official website: http://www.f-a-i.net/
When you run this for the first time it will ask you in which directory on your computer you want to store the blockchain and database. It is recommended (although not essential) that you store this separately from your operating system, so you may want to create a new hard drive partition before you install it, so you don’t need to go back and make changes later.
If you are using Windows then once you have downloaded and extracted the files all you need to do is open up the folder in your file explorer and double click on FAI.exe to start the installation wizard.
