I upvoted you stance, but at this point in technology, it's fairly easy to find articles on how to get on Tor and use a search engine that indexes Onion content. The two are not equivalent, but is it possible that you worry about visiting the dark web, versus the actual difficulty to do so? You are in infosec, so you are probably very conscious of what you can and can't do and track easily. The dark web is more difficult to track, but is it that much more difficult to access if you don't care about general privacy concerns? There are so many "easy" methods online to get you on the dark web, and most don't care too much about privacy like you or I care about. Just food for thought, I don't go searching the dark web, to keep my security to a level I can understand, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
- BeefWellington 2y agoHeck, most VPN providers provide guides to accessing TOR.

Hard to claim it's secret information IMO.
- progmetaldev 2y agoI agree, and also, thank you for these reference links! I wasn't aware so many VPN providers had instructions to access TOR.
