Darkweb-website-development

Step by step procedure on how to create your very own dark web website on any Linux device.

• Update Linux repository
• Install Tor
• Install nginx

Update Linux repository

sudo apt update

Install Tor

Sudo apt install tor

Once Tor is installed we will open its configuration file to make some changes

sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc

We will be making two minor changes to our configuration file by commentating this two lines

#HiddenServiceDir varlib/tor/hidden_service/ - This where your private key and public key (your .onion address) will be stored

#HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80 – This is what your going to expose to the dark web

After making those two changes we will have to restart tor services with the following commands

sudo service tor stop -stop tor services sudo service tor start - stop tor services sudo service tor status – check the status of tor services

If you have successfully reached this point your website is already live.

To check your onion address sudo cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname asjdlajsdkjaklsdjklasjdljsdsj2339jkljdsfds.onion- this is your onion address

Install nginx

sudo apt install nginxWe then start Nginx sudo service nginx start sudo service nginx status

once we visit our onion address we will be greeted by the default nginx welcome page .

Before we jump to sharing our onion address we need to make some few security modifications to

make it safer

sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

We will be uncommenting these two lines and adding a new line below our server_tokens off line

server_tokens off;
port_in_redirect off;
server_name_in_redirect off;

Restart Nginx for the changes to take effect

sudo service nginx restart

Now we are going to customize our website to our end goal by navigating to

cd /var/www ls cd html ls

delete the current file and create a new html filesudo nano index.html

make your changes and restart nginx

This is just a basic tutorial on how to create your first Dark web website you can make more

changes to your liking

Warning

Hosting a darkweb website on your device is dangerous and users are advised to practice this in a virtual environment so as to minimise the risk of exposing your device to the dangers of the dark net
