Hi Tor-Talk, My name is Hammas and I'll be starting my PhD at The University of Iowa this fall. I've been recently working on the implications of visiting the Tor hidden services through non-traditional methods; methods which do not require the Tor browser or methods not endorsed by Tor itself. Currently, the two non-traditional methods that I'm looking at are: 1) Various browser extensions which configure tor proxies in different ways and allow people to access tor hidden services on regular browsers. 2) Tor2Web proxies which allow people to access a tor hidden service - by a adding a suffix in front any onion domain - on a regular browser.
I'm trying to to look for differences - whether they be in terms of injected HTML, different HTTP requests, varying headers etc. - when a user visits these Tor hidden services through a regular Tor browser and when they visit these services through the non-traditional methods. As of now, these are the only two methods I'm aware of that people use to access the Tor hidden services when they want to visit a service through the comfort of their own browser. Are there any other methods that anyone is aware of being used by people to visit Tor hidden services without the Tor endorsed methods? I've currently looked for these methods in context of Desktop browsers but even if anyone has any leads related to any other method on any other platform e.g mobile browsers, I'd be really thankful. The current list of Proxies and extensions I'm using are: Proxies (working): 1) Onion.pet 2) Onion.ws 3) Onion.nz 4) Onion.ly 5) Onion.market 6) Darkent.to Extensions: 1) Tor Control – Anonymity layer 2) Onion browser button 3) Browse with onion 4) Onion VPN with speed control 5) dotOnion 7) Toroo Tor browser If anyone knows of any other extensions/proxies that might be missing in the list, please let me know! Thanks for your time and help!
