Having switched to Linux from Windows, I was accustomed to the idea of “needing” an antivirus program. Early on when I made the transition to Linux, the idea of not getting viruses seemed foreign. Therefore, up until recently, I was using ClamAV for one of those “just in case” scenarios. Thus far, every time I […]
In addition to the requisite Christmas post, there’s a site I came across recently that I’ve been wanting to feature, particularly since I keep finding articles that categorize the “dark web” as this evil place full of horrible people. The site in question is called hacking.allowed. I know that people tend to expect “hackers” on […]
As I’d mentioned on some recent posts, a lot of people seem to like the idea of artificial intelligence on the dark web – albeit of the mythological variety. So far, the only chatbots that I know of on the dark web are Ned (on not Evil) and a few on MadIRC. Ned, as I’d […]

Before I start, I should say – I’m not writing this to make enemies in the dark web world; I just like to get proper info out there. Like when I say there’s no “Marianas Web.” That being said, one of the sites I subscribe to is Hacker Combat, and I happened to notice that they […]
Alright, technically this site isn’t on the “dark web,” but that’s how I came across it. I had clicked on the Atlayo Search Engine, and to my surprise, it had been hacked: If you go by what the picture says, the person (or people) responsible were 7ulzSec – well, I guess that’s pretty obvious, huh? I […]
