One of the most reliable solutions to the dark matter puzzle is that galaxies are embedded in a halo of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. Indirect astronomical evidences for this fading population in the Milky Way halo might come from cosmic rays and gamma rays measurements. I review the main properties of indirect dark matter detection by means of gamma rays and antimatter in cosmic rays. I discuss the astrophysical properties and uncertainties for the signals and the theoretical frame in which these exotic particles can be predicted.
