Yeah the deepweb can get pretty fucked up.

Using Tor + a VPN would be solid, MAKE SURE you have no-script and adblock plus enabled, and that you do not store cookies and enable javascript by default blahblah. All around Tor is a pretty secure browsing tool though, especially with being able to change your anonymous identity at the click of a button.

It all depends what you plan to do with it. Some malicious sites on the deepweb will be obvious, some will not. There are a lot of phishing sites that look identical to the real site (especially with Silk Road). A lot of people use encryption for messages on there, especially stuff seen in deepweb Pastebins. I forget the program needed but it's pretty simple, and if you do need to BUY something off the deepweb chances are they'll require you to speak only with encrypted messages and through using bitcoins (which are reallllly expensive these days. 1 bitcoin used to be 10 USD. Now it is 1 btc for 90 USD).

It's pretty interesting though, apparently there's 91000 terabytes worth of junk on the deepweb. Most of those sites will be followed by a weblink that looks like "fjsgljsgl9342porn.onion" which gets pretty confusing. Any interesting sites make sure to keep em in a word doc with a description.

Stay vigilant and don't go too deep~
