I came across this article the other day, which talks about "Freenet", software which allows access to the "deep web", an otherwise inaccessible, highly anonymous part of the web.

I might check it out. It sounds like it is inhabited by an interesting blend of criminals and free thinkers.

Anyone have any experience with this software, or the beneath-the-surface parts of the internet?

The software homepage is here:

Freenet is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish "freesites" (web sites accessible only through Freenet) and chat on forums, without fear of censorship. Freenet is decentralised to make it less vulnerable to attack, and if used in "darknet" mode, where users only connect to their friends, is very difficult to detect.

Yeah, a guy named Ian Clarke started it & it's so distributed it's really not shut-downable. I wrote some articles about it back in '99 or so. Interesting, and takes advantage of some of the things the web does well.
