Exploring the deep web can be done in many ways, one of which is using the termux android application. It’s just that the appearance of the site on the deep web on termux will be different from the original version.
If I have previously shared a tutorial for entering the deep web using tor, this time I will show you an alternative way of using termux. Apart from that, I will also show you how to operate termux while browsing deep web sites.
You need to know:
The deep web pages that appear on termux are all text, no images or videos. This is because termux only downloads text not including css and scripts from a website.
This is an example:
Looks confusing, right? But if you understand, then it’s not a problem.
Want to try logging in? please follow the following guide:
How to enter deep web using termux
- Install the w3m tool in termux
- Activate tor browser in new season termux
- Go to hidden wiki to find the address of the deep web site
- Access deep web sites using w3m
Install the w3m tool in termux
W3m is a tool for browsing on termux. In other words this is a tool to open the internet from termux.
To install it, open the termux application then write this command:
pkg install w3m
Activate tor browser in new season termux
Even though using termux, security should still be a priority when accessing the deep web. One of the efforts is to use the tor browser.
Besides tor, I recommend 5 other deep web browsers that you can use to hide your identity.
In termux also supports tor feature. However, it must be configured before it can be used.
The trick, after successfully installing w3m, type the following command again:
pkg install tor torsocks
Wait until the installation process is complete.
Type tor and wait until bootstrapped shows 100% done.
Then swipe the termux screen from left to right, select new season, and type this command:
torify w3m https://check.torproject.org
Wait until the notification “this browser is configured to use tor” appears.
Go to hidden wiki to find the address of the deep web site
The hidden wiki address is at https://thehiddenwiki.org/. Access the page using a normal browser.
A hidden wiki is like a gateway to the deep web. Because on the site there are hundreds of addresses that point to the deep web.
Please find the site you want to visit then copy the address.
On my side:
I’ve copied the link http://hbetshipq5yhhrsd.onion. That is the link to go to the hidden bit coin web.
Access deep web sites using w3m
Back again to the termux application then open a new season again and write this command:
torify w3m alamat situs
Example:
torify w3m http://hbetshipq5yhhrsd.onion
Next, the “opening socket” notification will appear. That means termux is trying to open the site.
When successful, the page will appear as a collection of text.
Tips for browsing on w3m:
Pinch the screen to zoom out termux. This aims to make it easier to see the entire site that is currently open.
To move the cursor, use the touch screen by scrolling or clicking on the part you want to open.
Meanwhile, to open a menu, link, or object, you can use the enter key or double-click on it.
Conclusion
Well, that’s how to access the deep web using the termux application. Basically, you have to open 3 seasons each to run w3m, tor, and open deep web sites.
