"New to the darknet — looking for guidance and tips"
Hi everyone,
I'm completely new to the darknet and just starting to explore. So far I've set up Tor Browser, a VPN, and a ProtonMail address. I've managed to visit a few sites — nothing crazy, just whatever was easy to find without much knowledge. My technical skills are pretty basic, but I'm genuinely curious and eager to learn.
I'm interested in hacking communities and cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and potentially ways to earn money or crypto. I'm not here for drugs, weapons, or anything like that — purely curious about the technical and community side of things.
I have a few questions :
- What are the essential tools or habits for a beginner who wants to stay safe ?
- Where can I find serious and trustworthy communities to learn from ?
- Are there good resources (forums, sites) to get started with cybersecurity on the darknet ?
- Any advice on earning crypto legitimately through skills or services ?
I'm French-speaking, so if anyone wants to guide me in French, that's a bonus — but English is totally fine too.
Thanks in advance for your patience and advice !
