An interesting Darknet blog site with information on operational security. A lot of people are involved in Darknet markets (illegal drugs mostly), but the concepts and techniques to stay private and anonymous are solid and tested. The cost of failure is arrest and incarceration, and people usually only get caught when they’re complacent and violate their OPSEC practices. So a lot of the blog posts make for interesting reading and you might learn some interesting concepts and security techniques. And this is only available through Tor or the Tor Browser, with six server hops between you and site, the Darknet or Dark Web. Worth stating, I’d make sure you’re on the safest security setting with no Javascript if you go to Darknet sites with Tor Browser. Also, I’ve had issues with some standard guards (entry servers), possibly the BGP vulnerability or guards operated by nefarious actors or nation states…. so I run my own private bridge server, and you can email me for the details to use it.
OPSEC (Operational Security) is a crucial topic, and it’s at the core of this blog, “OPSEC Bible”. Many people are deeply convinced that offering OPSEC advice is essential for personal security. However, OPSEC also serves as a way to protect ourselves from government surveillance. Governments have long been monitoring our online behaviors, gathering data about our habits and actions, which makes OPSEC an invaluable tool in defending against them.
But that’s where the problem arises. Governments, often acting as corrupt global entities, have long been intertwined with the companies that own the platforms we discuss here, turning them into statist platforms. While freedom of speech is still upheld, outright deletion of OPSEC related content would be seen as dictatorial. Instead, shadowbanning becomes the method of choice, allowing the platforms to silence voices without appearing overtly oppressive.
