ARIA2C FOR DARKWEB DOWNLOADS ON KALI

Here is a quick how-to for using ARIA2C for downloading things

First install:
tor
torbrowser-launcher

Next:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If you do not know how to do that, find the articles on this site.

Then configure this:
nano /etc/tor/torrc

Add in the following info at the bottom of the file:
SocksPort 9051
ExitNodes 27E1B97D9491013EF48479D4F47002F3358E0D92
StrictNodes 1
MaxCircuitDirtiness 999999999
NewCircuitPeriod 999999999

Save and exit the file

Next
sudo apt-get install aria2 -y

Reboot for good measure. You can restart services but I find mixed results when doing that.

Now open another terminal and start tor
tor

Then start a new terminal and open
torbrowser-launcher

Navigate to the site you want to download the info from and copy the link, for example you can get the onion from here:
https://www.ransomware.live/groups

once you have the link, open a terminal, make sure you have enough space for the download, and then run
torsocks aria2c –continue=true –max-tries=0 –retry-wait=30 –async-dns=false –file-allocation=none -s 10 -x 10 -k 1M -o Tacticalware.log http://longley4hay3dwh4rirth5xaomle34524523435id.onion/Tacticalware.rar

After the download completes, rename Tacticalware.log to Tacticalware.rar, and use 7z to open it.

If at any point the download fails completely, rename Tacticalware.log to Tacticalware.rar and you can also use 7z to open the file. You will have access to all the data that was downloaded within that zipped file, up to that point. SO all is not lost

FIX TORSOCKS PERROR ISSUE

In ParrotOS if you install torsocks using apt-get install torsocks, it installs fine, however you cannot run it from the commandline as it has the following error

Error:
PERROR torsocks[2859]: socks5 libc connect: Connection refused (in socks5_connect() at socks5.c:202)

To fix this error do the following

Type:
sudo nano /etc/tor/torsocks.conf

Scroll down to the TorPort line

Change 9050 to 9150

Now it should read
TorPort 9150

Press CTRL + X
Press Y to save

Now you can run torsocks
