1. Scope of the project
Darknet Site is an independent informational record of anonymous online ecosystems. It is intended for security researchers, reporters, academics and other professionals who need a clean overview of darknet activity for defensive, investigative or educational work.
We do not provide buying guides, payment instructions, escrow handling, anonymous communication services, or any other operational assistance for transacting on the platforms we document.
2. We endorse nothing illegal
None of the material on this site endorses, encourages or facilitates illegal conduct. We document darknet platforms the way a journalist documents events — to inform readers, not to enable misuse.
You are solely responsible for your own actions. Accessing a documented resource for illegal purposes is your decision and may violate the law in your jurisdiction.
3. Data freshness and accuracy
We do our best to keep listings accurate, but the dark web changes rapidly. Mirrors are added and removed, operators exit-scam, and phishing clones surface daily. Information presented here is offered "as is" with no warranty of accuracy, completeness or fitness for any particular purpose.
- Never act on a single source. Independently verify onion addresses against the operator's signed announcements.
- Keep clear-net identifiers (like your real email) entirely out of onion sessions.
- Do not assume any platform is "safe" simply because it is listed somewhere.
4. Permitted use
When you use this site, you agree not to:
- Attempt to compromise, scrape excessively, or otherwise abuse the site or its infrastructure.
- Submit content through any form that is illegal, defamatory, threatening, malicious, or that violates someone else's rights.
- Use the site to coordinate, plan or assist any unlawful activity, in any form.
- Republish our content in ways that misrepresent our editorial stance or imply that we endorse any documented platform.
5. External references
The catalog references external addresses, including .onion services that we do not run. We have no control over the content, security, availability or legality of those resources. Following an external link is at your own risk — evaluating that risk is your responsibility.
6. Rights to our material
All editorial text, layout, code and original images on Darknet Site belong to the project authors and are protected by copyright. Short quotations for review, journalism or academic purposes are permitted with attribution. Bulk republication or commercial reuse requires prior written consent.
7. Liability disclaimer
So far as the law allows, Darknet Site, its authors and contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — this site, including decisions you make based on what is published here.
8. Applicable law
Laws differ from country to country. Some material discussed here (for example, certain encryption tools or research datasets) may be regulated in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for using this site in line with your local law.
9. Revisions to these terms
We may amend these terms from time to time. Substantive updates will be marked with an updated "Last updated" date above. Using the site after an amendment means you accept the new terms.
10. Contact information
Questions about these terms, takedown notices or research enquiries can be submitted via our contact form. Privacy questions are covered in the privacy policy.
