Disclaimer

Live Darkweb Links is an independent, informational publication. Nothing here is a recommendation to visit, join, buy from or sell on any darknet marketplace, forum or service.

What this site is

We document how darknet markets, forums and link directories have worked, why they closed or were seized, how ransomware and malware are traded underground, and how ordinary users can protect themselves on the Tor network. The purpose is security awareness, research and education.

What this site is not

  • We do not publish, sell or verify .onion addresses, mirrors or invite codes.
  • We do not list prices, products, vendors or reviews of goods or services.
  • We do not provide instructions for buying or selling anything on a darknet market.
  • We do not offer legal, financial or medical advice. Laws about Tor, cryptocurrency and darknet content differ by country. If you are unsure, consult a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.

Accuracy and currency

Darknet markets appear, exit scam and get seized without notice. We write from publicly documented sources such as law-enforcement press releases, court records, security-vendor reports and Tor Project documentation. Where the current status of a service is uncertain, we say so. Always verify anything you read here against primary sources before acting on it.

Names and trademarks

Market, forum and company names are used only to identify the subject of an article. Their use does not imply affiliation, endorsement or that the named service is legitimate, safe or active.

Your responsibility. You alone are responsible for how you use the Tor network and any information found on this site or elsewhere. We accept no liability for losses, legal consequences or damages arising from actions taken after reading our content.

External links

Where we link to external resources, those are limited to official projects and public institutions such as the Tor Project, Tails, the EFF and law-enforcement press rooms. We do not control their content and are not responsible for it.
