Has anyone actually bought any body parts, or ordered a hit from the alleged "dark web"? Read many tabloids much?

Honestly, such a thing exists, and many great "tutorials" are there, but really, painting it as the "internet's blackmarket" is a bit of a stretch. I think the mentality is that, as in the real world, you can find anything you want if you want it badly enough, so of course there must be a interweb equivalent.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is.

Good thing it's not easy to access, and hidden from the major search engines. Any references painting it as "dark" are appalling, as it's simply just another protocol aside of hypertext transfer to access information that would not be "appropriate" for hyper text.

where's anonymous in all this.

if there's any target worth getting, dismantling and destroying it's the dark web and some of the evil and disgusting things on there.

who cares about bank of americas home page, when there is pure evil to attack on the dark web or anywhere else it may or could be hiding.

I would love to see an attempt to shutdown the dark web... this would be funny as hell

I know exactly how he stumbled upon it....
Star wars: The Old Republic recently went free to play.
So you google the acronym for The Old Republic forum and you end up searching for "TOR forum"
The unwanted link doesn't really explain what that other TOR forum(I knew so I never touched it) is....
I know for a fact it came up third in google's search engine.


Seems like Google fixed the problem up mighty quick. Only took them a year....

Apart from the kiddie porn Im all for Tor sites. I found the prices for goods are generally a 1/4 higher than the general black market. With the reviews and lack of hassle other than buying bit coins its a legit way of buying things you're not supposed too.

What most people call "surface web" are the things they can find with google or similar.

So what is TOR? Wouldn't the government be able to track peoples computer or IP if they made these illegal transactions?

I have been in IT for years and had online access for more than 20 years now. Although I had heard of the darkweb I never was interested I am still old school and stuck to the newsgroups. But this really doesn't surprise me. What does is that he "Stumbled" upon it. Even the newsgroups are not obvious so something is fishy....

Ive used TOR and yea theres some sketchy stuff and theres also downright illegal stuff but theres nothing there that interests me so I havent been back.
And no, there is no way you can just "stumble" into a .onion site. The kids and or the father are liars.

The reason the deep/dark web isn't often talked about in media, is because it would only advertise something bad that your average person doesn't even know exists. It would outrage a few and attract many to openly talk about it.
There is no way this kid found it accidentally.

I kinda figured that it's like running torrents you can't without a peer-to-peer file sharing program...It is not at all like surfing the web and coming across a bad site it just isn't....

Not to date myself but there is still some extremely trashy stuff on the newsgroups...
