The end of The Hidden Wiki on Tor
Jun 7th, 2007 by anonymous
The long-established location hidden Tor-service The Hidden Wiki (http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/) is now gone and now only shows the following message:
“The hidden wiki is gone. If you set up a new one and post the link to the or-talk list I’ll link it from here. 06/07/07.”
There are several location hidden wiki’s. The one knows as The hidden wiki is the one admitted and recommended as a starting point for people who are new to Tor and the only-available-to-Tor-users location hidden services, which possibly explains why this particular hidden wiki is known as The hidden wiki.
Location hidden services are websites and services who are provided using a Tor-server and can only be accessed using a Tor-client. The actual domains for the services are hard to guess (and remember) because the domains are actually hashes of a private key. This provides security since you can be sure that the service you connect to are actually run by the person(s) who have the key for the hash you are visiting. It also makes location hidden services very hard to find by accident.
The hidden wiki was a nice starting point for location hidden services, a “front page” if you will. Now it’s gone. Thus; I feel compelled to provide some other nice starting points for people who are relatively new to Tor and location hidden services.
nnqtnsoohprzqcke
Nnqtnsoohprzqcke(tm) is a Tor-land search-engine based on the free DataParkSearch search engine software. It’s a great first step into the world of location hidden Tor-services for two important reasons:
- It looks very much like that well-known non-Tor search-engine.
- It’s fast. Relatively speaking. Tor’s .onion services are slower than normal websites. Searching nnqtnsoohprzqcke is slower than other search-engines for this reason, but the slight deal is limited to the typical “it’s a .onion site”-delay. nnqtnsoohprzqcke itself seems very fast.
Toogle
Toogle is the other good Tor-land search-engine. It’s based on mnogosearch and is a nice startingpoint. It seems to return fewer and less relevant results than Nnqtnsoohprzqcke(tm), but still: It’s relatively fast and it presents a clean search-result page.
..just a few more tips..
The above mentioned search-engines should allow you to find most of the interesting non-closed community location hidden services. Here are a few more startingpointers just for fun:
- onionforum - perhaps the most visited/used forum in onionland.
- APE hidden services links - A wikipage with a list of location hidden services, much like the one which was at the front page of The hidden wiki.
This should be enough links to .onion-land to get you started on the anonymous and uncencored Internet. 
One last little detail: There are a few location hidden services who may upset some people. 99.9% of them are labelled as such when linked to, the chance of accidentially visiting a site with content that is disturbing to most people is realtively low. But it may happen. You’ve been warned. Now.. welcome to Tor-land and do enjoy all the subversive sites and services out there!
Great article!
It’s next to impossible to find anything on the Internet (outside of onionland) about Tor-land and the like. Thanks for the heads up!

The same was said about P2P. Yet P2P is bigger and greater than
ever. As long as links to hidden services are listed in regular search
engines. So long lives hidden services. I can still get to all the content
I am used to in hidden services. And I have no problem finding it. As long as there or REAL tor users. The hidden wiki will live in many and various forms. Here is a toast to Tor and Hidden Services. Also, I find the search engines in hidden services to be an insult to the spirit of TOR. As long as there are ASSHOLES!!! whom run search engines that REGULATE what people or able to see in TOR. That is HIGH TREASON to Tor. Tor is about freedom. Freedom is above regulation. You Assholes Go the Fuck Home and Uninstall tor. You don’t deserve to be a tor user. You Dumb Little Bitches.
Dear “Tor Lover”
You’re just sad because your a pedophile and can’t find your favorite pictures of 50 year old men raping little girls.
~sincerely Mr. Dumb L Bitch
You don’t have a clue. About what being a tor lover is. May be you should be a women living with the taliban. Your stupid.
You clearly have a narrow view of what tor is and what tor is about. Just like your narrow pea brain and other narrow parts of your body.
People judge things by the least appealing views. Tor has a lot of positive aspects as well you complete asshole. If you don’t like tor. Don’t use it. You dumbass.
Such insightful comments! Good to see that the tor movement doesn’t restrict itself to the intellectual elite.
Excellent use of capslock, too. A great way to add emphasis when you can’t get your point across in actual english. I love people that yell at me when they want to make something clear. They’re the ones I respect most.
TOR is not just a pedo playland.. it empowers the world to speak freely. I have to admit I don’t do anything terribly exciting with all that freedom though.
#3 fuck off and die please.
#6 WHAT CAPS LOCK??? I’M WHISPERING, WEEWY QWIYET, WE’S HUNTN WABBETS!!
