1. Site purpose
Darknet Links 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.
There are no buying guides, payment instructions, escrow handling, anonymous communication services or other operational walkthroughs published here.
2. We do not endorse illegal activity
None of the content here endorses, encourages or facilitates unlawful conduct. We document darknet platforms the way a reporter documents events — to inform, not to enable wrongdoing.
All responsibility for your conduct lies with you. Visiting a documented platform for unlawful purposes is your choice and may violate the law in your jurisdiction.
3. Accuracy of information
We do our best to keep entries up to date, but the darknet moves fast. Mirrors shift, operators exit-scam and phishing replicas appear daily. The data here is supplied "as is" with no warranty of accuracy, completeness or suitability.
- Never trust a single source. Verify onion addresses independently against the operator's signed notices.
- Do not mix clear-net identifiers — like your real email — into onion sessions.
- Don't assume a platform is "safe" purely because it appears on a list, including ours.
4. How you may use the site
When you use this site, you agree not to:
- Attempt to attack, scrape excessively or otherwise abuse the site or the infrastructure behind it.
- Use any form to submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, threatening, malicious or that infringes someone else's rights.
- Use the site to coordinate or facilitate any form of unlawful activity whatsoever.
- Reuse our content in a way that misrepresents our editorial position or implies an endorsement of a documented platform.
5. Links to third-party sites
This catalog references third-party addresses and .onion services we do not operate. We do not control their content, security, availability or legality, and following any external link is at your own risk.
6. Rights to our material
All editorial text, layout, code and original images on Darknet Links 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. Disclaimer of liability
So far as the law permits, neither Darknet Links nor its authors nor contributors are liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site — including decisions you make based on what is published here.
8. Local law
Laws differ across jurisdictions. Some content discussed on this site (for example, certain encryption tools or research datasets) may be regulated where you live. Ensuring your use of the site complies with your local law is your responsibility.
9. Changes to these terms
These terms may be revised from time to time. Material updates will be flagged with a new "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use the site after a revision indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
