These are the first steps used to hack into another system while in the Tor network. As hacking is illegal, these steps are general and meant to provide guidance to the user so they can ensure their systems are safe. It is not intended to hack into another system.

In this chapter, we are also going to provide some information on staying safe while using Tor as it seems fitting. Below are some precautions everyone should take to stay safe while using the dark net. Always keep in mind that while you are searching the net using Tor, there are authorities and hackers who are doing the same and they are attempting to discover who is hosting certain websites and what people may be accessing criminal sites as well. The basics are listed below.

First and foremost, use that pseudonym. You are going to want to remain as anonymous as possible. This cannot be stressed enough. Tor is used for anonymity so using your real information or profiles defeats the purpose of going to it all together.

Tor is slightly slow because of the sheer number of nodes that it must pass through. It is wise to use a VPN to give yourself that added layer of security when browsing the dark net.

Always disable scripts that are running. This is an option in Tor as well as any standard web browser. Most sites on the dark net are considered criminal and if you accidentally find yourself visiting one, the online authorities may want to try to track you down. Scripts were created with JavaScript and as we previously discussed, Java or JavaScript should not be enabled while using the standard web let alone Tor. Those are meant to store things on your computer, which is exactly what using Tor is meant to avoid.

Always think twice before clicking links because they may not be what they appear or claim to be. Some of the search engines can appear misleading. Tor has its own search engines including duckduckgo, which we previously mentioned as well as Torch. If you are looking to research information and want to do so without worry, Tor has a library that is great for this purpose. That way you know you will avoid clicking into something you never intended. Inside the Tor library, you will also find tons of hidden search engines meant to add to the security and safety of using the Tor network. If this is your first time accessing Tor, the library is the best place to start.

Never download anything directly to your computer. This includes BitTorrents because they can provide the actual IP address for the user as it is meant to store things on a computer. That will make your activity traceable to you and can mean trouble if you are not careful.
