Be the Man Who Wasn't There.Other books tell you to install this or that and leave it at that. This book goes much deeper, delving into the very heart of invisibility, offline and how to create a new darknet persona and leave no electronic trail. In essence, how to be anonymous without looking like you're trying to be Darknet Marketplaces & Opsec - Why Silk Road Failed - Cryptocurrency - The Hidden Wiki - What To Do If Caught - How to Run a Hidden Server on the Deep Web - Linux Encryption & Mobile Tor - Darknet Personas - Police Raids; How to Survive a Police Interrogation - How Hacking Groups like Anonymous and Reloaded stay hidden.

TOR and the Dark Art of Anonymity by Lance Henderson is a good primer for those new to the concept of The Onion Router (TOR) network. Reading it in mid-2020, unfortunately highlights how quickly things change in the world of Information Technology and Cyber in particular. TOR and the Dark Art of Anonymity was originally published in 2015 and, as a result, is no longer current in detail. It is, however, current in concept in that it discusses the pros and cons of using TOR and the many misconceptions about privacy and anonymity on the Internet.

TOR and the Dark Art of Anonymity is a good, quick read for anyone interested in learning about TOR. While perhaps a bit more paranoid than necessary, it conveys to both the novice and intermediate user the criticality of exercising caution when using TOR or visiting sites on the Darknet.

Good tech pointers but lacks structure

It provides a lot of good tech instructions as what to do and to avoid, if you are starting in the anonymity road.
Overall, I found it a bit confusing since it just seemed like a bunch of topics the writer remembered, and then just wrote some content about it.
Buy if you want to start experimenting. To learn more on how it works, better to find an alternative.

Lo he leido y creo que es un buen libro. Hay que tener cabeza para meterse en el mundo de la informática, unos lo tienen como otros lo hacen con la pintura. En España creo que no abundan los matemáticos.
Y esto dicho, si pasamos a lo puramente utilitario, me da la fuerte impresión de que si vd. quiere realizar alguna compra en la Dark Web, solo le va a funcionar si vive en EEUU. Porque es un manual que me parece muy dirigido a norteamericanos solo o, al menos, muy principalmente.

It's a light book that tells about the tor and related to that for setting up that and some alternative to Big Brothers that can you save from fingerprinting and privacy-related stuff. Little bit side of Dark market.

[Julien Desrosiers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Talks about the tools and the technologies for people to reclaim their right to privacy. Does not delve into the cryptographic technicalities, so this is great for laymen.
Touches on freenet, tails, and a few others as well.

best book on the subject i've read.

short and to-the-point style. loaded with information for the new-to-the-subject user. good advice on safety online, including passwords and such.

Good review of dark net principles

[Quentin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very informative with a very layman's approach, in a good way.

I greatly enjoyed the humor. Was taught a lot of essential data. I will be suggesting this read to many more people.

[Scott Holstad · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting, some decent stuff, but uneven.

[Firsh · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a bit generic, not deep enough to give you actionable step by step technical instructions (:D). So it's not practical but theoretical. Interesting short listen, but nothing special.

Reads like it was written by a 15 y/o

[Eimantas · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid book to give you an idea of what it takes to stay anonymous online these days.

[Kendra Morgan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good Reference for Anonymous Browsing

Very good rundown of the dark net and what it takes to be anonymous online these days. He makes a very good point about being careful about what you post online about yourself publicly and the need to keep most personal data private.

[Pietro Condello · Rating 3 out of 5]

An "ok" book on the subject of Tor, PGP, encryption and online privacy vs anonymity (two very different things). If you're looking for a ground-up introduction, look elsewhere. Henderson's intended audience is not clear: in some cases he glosses right over concepts a novice would need a basic introduction to, assuming the reader knows exactly what he's talking about; in other cases he agonizingly breaks relatively simple concepts down as if explaining to his grandmother; without consistency.

[Luca Roseano · Rating 2 out of 5]

You need to know the basic of the subject before to read it.

This book is not for novices. It is well written but you need to have at least a basic knowledge of the subject.

[Philip Kirkbride · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great, very up to date.

[Michiel Berger · Rating 3 out of 5]

Aardige intro, wel snel verouderd. Toch wat opgestoken. Niet zo geschikt als luisterboek.

Answered some basic questions about TOR and anonymity
