The dark web, quite possibly, is becoming a household name after the conviction of Ross Ulbricht of the Silk Road darknet market. Following this, a stream of articles have claimed that the Islamic State is utilising secret websites to plan out the attacks and that this is being talked about more than any other topics. But for most of the part, some of the stories that have been told about the dark web is a myth, as many claims.
In certain interviews with the staff of the reputed darknet markets especially the drug marketplaces information on their paid DEA double agents have been highlighted. It is also discovered that the active Uber accounts were being sold on the dark web against as little as a dollar for each.
The tale of the dark web that includes information about it’s spread in the internet and the nefarious activities taking place such as the stolen data, child pornography and terrorist websites assured to amuse you. Little did anyone focus on the fact that some of these are already in the clearnet.
Talking about the terrorist forums, very few know that some of them are hiding behind the internet where the regular websites permit the extremist supporters and the most prominent Jihadis to communicate with one another and post brutal propaganda media like videos. As the information goes, Al Qaeda’s first forum was launched back in the year 2001 but the site was already shut down. Still, few of the Islamic extremist websites exist on the clear web and are in heavy usages till date.
The dark web is a very tiny part of the World Wide Web and approximately 7000 to 30000 Tor .onion urls websites or Hidden Wiki links exist. The dark web is not impenetrable and within the reach of the law enforcement agencies which have been proven by several dark web markets getting busted and several people getting caught every other day.
