>being this new.

Reported for openly requesting illegal content.

I thought you to be a rebel... but yeah, seems like you are not.
Anyway, neither tor nor the darknet are illegal.

you can use tor for normal browsing (e.g. on this forum

the chance of the site being run by the fbi is probably 99.9%...

I don't plan to do too bad stuff I'm sure my government doesn't care.

The core principle of Tor, "onion routing", was developed in the mid-1990s by United States Naval Research Laboratory employees...... In 2004, the Naval Research Laboratory released the code for Tor under a free license

Tor Network was developed by and maintained by the US government.  If you think that the government does not know what you are doing while using the network that it developed, then you are more delusional than I thought.

I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must NEVER let them take it from us. I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the worlds turns, and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you. With all my heart, I love you.

Sure. The idea of intentional vulnerabilities and backdoors are just a crazy conspiracy theory.

Caudill says Monsegur has already performed dozens of client penetration tests and successfully compromised the target network in every case. On one job, for instance, Monsegur hacked a major retailer's page for uploading timesheets by embedding malicious XML code into an Excel spreadsheet. In another attack on a financial company, Monsegur dug up old credentials that had been posted online. He had Caudill go to an open floor below the company's headquarters in the same building and, using a laptop and an antenna, try each credential until Caudill found one that let him access the company's Wifi network and ultimately its servers.

The trove of documents, dubbed Vault 7, is said to be the first of a number of disclosures that reveal the CIA's hacking abilities. "The series is the largest intelligence publication in history," Wikileaks says. "This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive."

The EDG is responsible for the development, testing and operational support of all backdoors, exploits, malicious payloads, trojans, viruses and any other kind of malware used by the CIA in its covert operations world-wide.

The increasing sophistication of surveillance techniques has drawn comparisons with George Orwell's 1984, but "Weeping Angel", developed by the CIA'sEmbedded Devices Branch (EDB), which infests smart TVs, transforming them into covert microphones, is surely its most emblematic realization.

To a degree. I have no doubt you are a skilled programmer. Just naive.

Open source programs do usually make for openness and honesty.

Tell me what operating system you are using?

CIA malware targets Windows, OSx, Linux, routers

The CIA also runs a very substantial effort to infect and control Microsoft Windows users with its malware. This includes multiple local and remote weaponized "zero days", air gap jumping viruses such as"Hammer Drill" which infects software distributed on CD/DVDs, infectors for removable media such as USBs, systems to hide data in imagesor in covert disk areas ( "Brutal Kangaroo") and to keep its malware infestations going.

Many of these infection efforts are pulled together by the CIA'sAutomated Implant Branch (AIB), which has developed several attack systems for automated infestation and control of CIA malware, such as "Assassin" and "Medusa".

Attacks against Internet infrastructure and webservers are developed by the CIA'sNetwork Devices Branch (NDB).

The CIA has developed automated multi-platform malware attack and control systems covering Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, Linux and more, such as EDB's "HIVE" and the related "Cutthroat" and "Swindle" tools, which aredescribed in the examples section below.

You think I am paranoid and I think you are naive. I believe we are both right to an extent.

The problem is you've got a bunch of very technical data but menacing sounding data.  What you don't have is it's context though.  Which is a tricky thing because it requires a lot of research.  Instead what you've done is adapted it into your worldview without thinking critically.

I think honeypots work by actually selling you something. Since I'm obviously not going to buy anything form tor, I don't think that's a big risk.
