How to access the darknet — security guides
All Tor guides →Don't Open Downloaded Files While Online
Why a PDF or DOC downloaded in Tor Browser can hit the network off-Tor; use the built-in viewer, or open files on a disconnected machine.
GetTor When torproject.org Is Blocked
How to get Tor Browser when the Project site is censored: GetTor by email or Telegram, official EFF and Calyx-class mirrors, then verify the signature.
New Identity vs New Circuit
When to press New Identity versus New Tor Circuit for this Site: what each one breaks, what it keeps, and what neither can undo.
Why Torrent and Tor Don't Mix
Tor Project policy on BitTorrent: clients ignore the proxy, leak your IP to the tracker, and overload volunteer exits. Do not combine them.
Tor + HTTPS: What the Exit Sees
What a Tor exit can read without HTTPS, what it still sees with HTTPS, and why an onion service has no public exit. Tor and TLS do different jobs.
Active darknet markets — September 2026
Full market catalog →Editorial darknet market list with status and security tags (2FA, PGP, escrow, BTC/XMR). A card prints an .onion only when that address is already in our catalog file — this catalog does not mint new market mirrors. Cross-check any mirror you find elsewhere before you use it.

Tor encyclopedia: learn and research
Tor encyclopedia hub →What Is the Hidden Wiki? History and Directory Risks
What the Hidden Wiki is, how community-edited .onion directories became phishing targets, and how editorial indexes separate services from market records.
Deep Web vs Dark Web vs Clearnet: the Difference
Clearnet is indexed. Deep web is behind logins. Dark web means overlay networks such as Tor and .onion. Technical layers — no market lists.
Is Tor legal in Europe?
Tor is generally lawful in the EU, UK, and most of Western Europe, while unlawful activity remains unlawful. Restrictions differ in Russia and Belarus. Not legal advice.

Tor bridges explained: unlisted entry relays, Connection Assist, and when obfs4, Snowflake, meek, or WebTunnel help. Get bridges only from the Tor Project.
Dream Market: History and Unresolved 2019 Closure
Dream outlasted Silk Road and AlphaBay, then went dark in 2019. Public accounts treat the ending as unresolved: seizure rumors, an exit, or both.
Empire Market: Rise After Dream and 2020 Exit
Empire absorbed English-language traffic after Dream closed, then vanished in 2020. Public estimates put user losses around $30 million.
What is the Hidden Wiki — and how TorBible differs
A Hidden Wiki is a curated index of .onion sites. Search engines skip most onion services, so directories are still how people find mail, press tips, search, and — separately — a darknet market list. Community-edited wikis were easy to vandalize; phishing clones reused the Hidden Wiki name. The explainer is What is the Hidden Wiki.
TORBIBLE
Leave no identity
behind
Privacy by default
We don’t sell or process data. You stay on the right side of privacy by default — no tracking, no ad networks, no analytics, no data use, and complete control too.
TorBible keeps editorial control: staff-written listings, no user graffiti, no ads. Onion strings are only those already in our JSON — not scraped from another wiki. Markets stay in the catalog; mail, press, and search stay in the link directory. Terms: glossary. Setup: Tor Browser.
Frequently asked questions
How does TorBible verify .onion links?
We publish only addresses already in our files (mail, press, search, selected forums). We run a weekly crawl of shop mirrors, and we do not invent market onions. Cross-check any .onion against a PGP canary and a second independent source.
How is TorBible different from the original Hidden Wiki?
The original Hidden Wiki was community-edited and often pointed at phishing clones. TorBible keeps editorial control, splits markets from service links, and does not scrape another wiki’s onion table. Setup lives in guides, not in a dump of shop mirrors.
How do I access the dark web and .onion links?
Install Tor Browser from torproject.org — not a random “dark web browser” bundle. The Tor Browser setup guide covers download, signatures, and security levels. Then use the link directory or the market catalog.
How current is the information on the website?
We update the site weekly so it stays accurate, relevant, and useful. How often a given page changes still depends on the material, press, and whether new data is available.
What cryptocurrency is preferred for privacy on Tor?
Monero (XMR) hides amounts and counterparts by design; Bitcoin is a public graph. That is a privacy fact, not a shopping list. Read Bitcoin vs Monero. TorBible is not a wallet or exchange.
Are darknet markets still operating after takedowns?
Yes. Public history runs from Silk Road (2013) through Hydra (2022), Incognito (2024), and the 2025 Archetyp/Abacus shocks. Names move; our catalog is a status list, not a recommendation. Start with the takedown timeline.
Is TorBible a darknet marketplace?
No. It is an encyclopedia and directory. We do not sell goods, hold escrow, or run a shop. Escrow on a catalog card is a tag, not protection — see escrow systems.
Does TorBible work without JavaScript?
Yes. The site is static HTML and CSS: no analytics, no cookies, no client scripts. It is meant to load cleanly in Tor Browser with JavaScript disabled.
