Dark web warning


www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk

A 12-YEAR-old boy from Cleethorpes stumbled across an internet underworld selling guns and sex with underage girls while looking for games online.

His appalled father now wants to spread the word to other parents and has even written to the Home Secretary about it.

I never thought I'd see this in the news let alone my local news paper.. A12 year has found the dark web and his dad has gone on one.. It's the first time I've seen some about the dark web in the main stream nes so to speak. Not really sure what he hope to do by writing to the government tho as seen as there probs one of the biggest users of it.

Lol good luck trying to shut down TOR.....
What kind of idiot allows their 12 year old on the internet without supervision anyways? Love how they had to throw in the ADD as well, as if it was somehow relevant.

I think he's referring to all the old celebrities kiddie fiddling and there are rumours that it stems up to government MPs too. Something like that.

Maybe we should all start surfing the dark web to see what our gov't is up to.

If they really wanted to arrest and stop child pornography, which they obviously don't want to, they should start arresting people using the underworld currency to purchase unlawful and immoral things.

This just shows you what the gov't is, and isn't, engaged in.

They will pay with thier souls to hell. They know and most likely are the prime customers of this filth.

Jesus Christ is the way, the light and the truth. A lot of light is going to be shown on these satanists.

And they know it.

I've a good idea which site he's stumbled on...it uses bitcoins as currency and has a sort of forum where people comment on the sellers. There's a popular tutorial on YT too. Friends showed me last year - there were no guns, killers or pedo-BS, it was all drugs and illicit technology for credit card theft.

I found it quite fascinating.

The site is well-known to the authorities already. The thing is...it's hosted out in tor-land so it'll be more difficult to take-down with no location, no hosts and no registered owners. In the favour of the authorities is the inevitable fact that some of the sellers will be honey-traps and that any orders could be personally delivered by plain-clothes police. In the case of firearms and hired killers (if true), that handover contact could easily be security services.

The anonymity works both ways doesn't it?

I'd search the dark web more, But it's so secure that it's way too damn slow!

That's a great point. Even if it wasn't his dad, you've got to wonder why the heck a 12 year old kid would be surfing with tor.

Then again, I was listening to a show about Anonymous and some of those guys have been 12 year old geniuses. One was a Swedish (iirc) mastermind who actually had death certificates issued for people that crossed him which screwed their bank accounts and legal status!!

That is the funniest and smartest thing I heard of someone doing for revenge in a long time.

As long as there is an internet, governments that censor their country's internet, and a need for a black market, TOR will continue to exist.

Well, unless someone comes up with something even better that is.

I went on there a few weeks ago and went to a portal listing many of the sites via category.

I saw listings for two hire a hitman websites, child porn, beastiality, credit card theft devices, drugs, credit card details you could buy, hacking learning places, etc.

Kind of put me off and I thought to myself... "Do i really need to be here looking at hitman websites? Um no. Child porn? No way. Beastiality? Nope. Drugs? Possibly ;-p Credit card theft? Nope. Hacking? Nah need to know how to program or really know your web-stuff. Nope."

That was my only foray into the dark net so far. I'm not really tempted to go back. Though I am a bit curious into the hacking stuff. I always have been, even though I never do anything like that or know how. Just interests me.

You might have a firewall or router issue. Tor's configured to run off USB-sticks and can be used by borderline illiterate dissidents in the Middle East.

A couple of years ago I ran a tor server until reading an article about UK police seizing all your IT stuff and you don't get it back for months. That's harsh! There are hardly any tor servers in the UK compared to Germany and the USA.

So yeah, I can vouch for tor being a real deal that works.
