I am tired of seeing it and tired of hearing about it. If I knew Anonymous’s phone number I would call them but I don’t . I just want to be a person like them when they took down child porn rings except this time it is Nazi’s and all that entails

Just visit Twitter if you want to find Nazi shit to point at. Or Truth Social. Or Gab. There are an endless number of Nazi gathering places on the clearnet. No need for the dark web.

Do yourself a favor: learn to program and take a deep dive into cybersecurity. And then, if you still feel the same, Google how to access the dark web “safely” (spoiler alert- good luck with that).

I am just tired of hearing the far right in the US and it seems nobody is doing anything about it. Is there any site I can learn how to white hack?

Nazi shit is definitely exhausting.

My advice remains

Do yourself a favor: learn to program and take a deep dive into cybersecurity.

Hacking is not something you learn in an evening. Even back in the day of script kiddies, which has long since been a distant memory, it took a serious investment to learn. Companies spend billions on security, and it’s a felony to try to breach it. Even failed attempts can land you in prison. Find some local protest groups and team up with them for more meaningful action.

What? This I don’t agree with. I do agree that learning to “hack” isn’t a something that happens quickly unless its just playing around with essentially toy scripts. But, no using Tor is pretty safe, browsers already have very good sandboxing (with the exception of some limited things like the recent tiktag exploit on ARM)- and Tor has even more anti-tracking features than a standard browser. That’s on top of using onion routing. But, even if your IP does somehow get leaked it doesn’t really matter unless you annoy someone enough that they DDOS you(unlikely)- but given you probably have a dynamic IP you can just reset your router/change the mac address, or request a new IP from your ISP.

I get that you feel safe. That’s kinda the point. But I’d be surprised as hell if the Five Eyes couldn’t identify and track just about anyone they want.

I’m aware of the tools available and what they do, I just believe that those with deep resources likely have better tools available to them.

Probably mostly people, but not based on them using Tor

Sure, but there’s no antivirus program for your eyeballs and brain. You can’t unsee the shit you might see there.

Anonymous’s nature is thay they do not have a centralised group. Anyone with the skill to bring down a website could identify themselves as anonymous.

Look up on libgen about books about pentesting to get a start on how you can take sites down. It’ll be helpful when looking for exploits to take down sites.

As for browsing dark web, you will need Tor Browser.

Welll, if you’re fired up enough, there are politically oriented movements like antifa. Trying to play hacker isn’t something you jump into and six months later, you’re taking down servers. But anyone can be an extra body at a protest, and protests can work, particularly when they’re direct action.

It all depends on your degree of motivation and commitment.

Which is the one that did the Jan 6 insurrection? Besides doing deep dives into wikipedia I think it would be funny to screw or make fun of the rioters.

Huh?

My dude, you aren’t making much sense here.

What I’m saying is that trying to screw with people, be it by trying to be a script kiddie, or making fun of the insurrectionists is a waste of your time. I mean, go ahead if that’s your thing, I ain’t your dad.

But if you’re wanting to do something, and it be useful, you gotta get into protest and direct action.

I think you just need to spend some time surfing wikipedia, dude. I don’t really have time to go into how far off base this is.

Not to be a clit but I surf wiki on a daily basis …Lately I have been going through all the middle eastern stuff and terrorist grups from abroad. Probably the FBI or NSA will be on my case but as long as I read something that gives me knowleged I am all for it.

It’s the childlike misunderstanding of hacking and the right wing. Your IWTL may as well have been something like “I’m really fired up about all the misogyny in the world! I want to learn nunchucks so I can stop all the misogyny! If I can learn a nunchuck trick or two I can get rid of all the misogyny.” Hacking isn’t like the movies. In real life, hacking consists of a thousand separate computer related skills and a few dozen liberally applied social skills. “Anonymous” isn’t a super hacker, it’s literally anonymity that random hackers have hidden behind in the past. It’s not an organization you can join. It’s just randos, like the rest of the Internet.

At your level, trying to learn to ““hack”” is like a couch potato deciding he wants to get into the Olympics. Even if you were the world’s best hacker, there’s not much that you could do to stop Nazis from Nazi-ing. Keep reading wikis, but don’t expect this line of inquiry to bear fruit fast or to pay off in the ways you seem to expect.

If you can’t even figure out how to get on the dark web, you’re definitely not going to figure out how to take down multi-billion dollar empires (which is a felony, btw). Besides, you’ll find way more disturbing Nazi shit on the dark web than wherever you’re seeing it now.

You’re essentially expecting to be able to build a spaceship without rudimentary knowledge of mechanical engineering, physics, or aerospace science. The people who took those sites down have spent a lifetime learning about programming, networking, software engineering, and cyber security. Your anger would be better channeled into established protest groups, or letters to your representatives (although I’d recommend running your letters through ChatGPT for clarity and grammar).
