Title: Silk Road
Post by: funnysandwitch on November 19, 2011, 06:52:31 PM
Using Tor.  Is the site still down as the page says?

Visited about a week ago and since haven't been back on.

Clueless.

The site moved to a new onion address and is currently (at time of posting) logging this message: [Notice] Closing stream for '[scrubbed].onion': hidden service is unavailable (try again later)..

So where did they move to? Their backup address they sent to the first 500 members isn't working either.

e: nevermind, found it.
could you post the new link, please ?

Thanks

Discussion about sites is fine, directing people there isn't.

What's the reason for changing their address?

Too many phishing sites that were posing as the Silk Road. The new URL is a bit easier to identify.

The new onion address begins with "silkroad....onion"

Google for the hidden wiki and find it through there ;)

Interesting message at what appears to be the login page of Silk Road re: The Hidden Wiki

Before you login, make sure you came here from a trusted link and are at the official Silk Road .onion url and not some password phishing clone. If you suspect you have ever logged in through a phishing site (especially the hidden wiki), you should change your password asap.

The Hidden Wiki has been much abused by hijackers.

Hey Luke Jr...

Instead of bookmarking the new address as they advise you to do, I think it would be more secure to keep your Tor bookmarks in a text file that's encrypted with a GPG client. Much safer, especially if you don't want anyone knowing which sites you visit.

Silk Road's address is available from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Road_(marketplace) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Road_(marketplace))

However, please note:
Be cautious using a wiki as a source for a link. A wiki is a resource anyone can edit, and anyone does edit.  Wikis are frequently edited to lead to phishing sites. Silk Road is a popular target for this.
