Starting your own hidden_service or onion_service
Your first Dark Web on TOR Network
This instruction is intended for Windows operating system.Things that we need:
- A decent webserver
- MySQL
- PHP 5+
- Notepad++
- of course, TOR Browser
Create a folder somewhere in your C: drive and name it to whatever you like, for me, I named it dark_service666. Download TOR Browser from torproject.org, once installed, navigate to the TOR Browser folder usually in your Desktop or where it was installed, >Browser>Tor Browser>Data>TOR> look for a file named torrc and open it with notepad++ or the built-in notepad in your computer.(Optional) you can use XAMPP if you don't want to install PHP and MySQL separately.
The torrc file looks like this:
Add this line after the last line you see in the torrc file.# This file was generated by Tor; if you edit it, comments will not be preserved
# The old torrc file was renamed to torrc.orig.1, and Tor will ignore it
ClientOnionAuthDir C:\Users\anonymous\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\onion-auth
DataDirectory C:\Users\anonymous\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor
GeoIPFile C:\Users\anonymous\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\geoip
GeoIPv6File C:\Users\anonymous\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\geoip6
Click save and restart TOR. You have just created your TOR Version 3 hidden_service in your computer. To see your unique 56 random character URL, navigate to the folder you've created in C: drive, e.g. dark_service666 and you will find a folder named authorized_client, hostname file where you can open with a notedpad and that will be your unique V3 .onion URL.HiddenServiceDir C:\HS\dark_service666
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
File named hs_ed25519_public_key, and a file named hs_ed25519_secret_key. DO NOT share these 3 files to anyone, they can copy your website using those.
(If you have created your Vanity V3 URL, replace your orginal TOR created V3 URL in the folder you made earlier e.g. dark_service666 with the new hostname, hs_ed25519_public_key, and hs_ed25519_secret_key you have generated using Cathuggers' mkp224o generator.)
At this point you can start your webserver. Check your htdocs folder on your server and put your html, php scripts, etc. Copy your V3 onion URL paste it your TOR browser to start serving. After it loads, try to access your new website using your mobile phone using TOR2WEB proxy (not advisable, testing purposes ONLY), just add (dot) .ws at the end of your URL.
Happy onion farming!
