When poking around the dark web It's important that you don't pick up any unwanted hitchhikers or other types of Malware, so let's be extra careful. All the software in this tutorial is free and to my knowledge the easiest and safest way to Traverse the DarkWeb.
Hear’s a quick run-through of the applications involved.
VirtualBox is a type two hypervisor. Hypervisors allow multiple instances of VMs (Virtual Machine). Virtual Machines can be computers or servers. VirtualBox is a free and open source software, originally created by Innotech GmbH, acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008, then in 2010 obtained by Oracle. There are other types of Hypervisors like Hyper-V(Windows). But in this tutorial, we will be using VirtualBox as it works seamlessly with Whonix.
Whonix is a Linux operating system, security-hardened, and with strong privacy and anonymity features built into this system, it’s ideal for surfing the DarkWeb. Whonix was founded by Patrick Schleizer, This operating system consists of two virtual machines a workstation running Debian and a Gateway Running on the Tor network which all communication is tunneled through.
