About this field guide

An independent publication about a confusing name and the evidence needed to understand it.

This field guide is published by The Hidden Wiki. It explains the Hidden Wiki reference used on its homepage, the historical claims surrounding it, and the official software routes for readers learning about Tor.

Our scope

We focus on address literacy, historical provenance, and public-interest resources. We do not operate the linked onion wiki, represent the Tor Project, or certify external services. The site is not a gateway that fetches onion pages on a reader’s behalf.

What makes a useful guide

A reader should be able to tell which address a page discusses, where a factual claim came from, and what remains unknown. That is why the address tool reports a text match, the history page distinguishes evidence from a founding claim, and tutorial entries show their source and age.
