Browsing the internet, a journey of unforeseen outcomes. Start looking for a recipe for Scandinavian jerked beef chili, and end up knee deep in youtube video's about a two legged horse on acid, trotting through a field of lollipops and rainbows. Its a lovely place where every thing imaginable is available. Now what if, everything that were available just wasn't available to everyone? What if, just what if, a vast majority of the internet was just... not viewable with internet explorer, or Google Chrome? Where does it lie? Time to put our hats and venture to, the deep net.
This is where our deep web friends get their kick in, that first layer of the onion is just the top layer, what is viewable to most, but what's under that first layer? Under that first layer is the dark parts, the hidden parts, the juicy parts. Can't be seen without the proper tools such as TOR (download link here), or The Onion Router". A browser that peels back the first layer of the internet and gets you into the core, to bring to fruition deep images hidden for the sake of anonymity, or for the sake of their illegal nature.
That's right, crime committed on the internet in broad daylight? Not exactly, quite the converse honestly, its a bit odd, but imagine being able to see something in front of you, completely tangible and evident but... never able to really "see" or "touch" it. That's the beauty of our fair deep web, it functions through proxies, a lot of proxies, resulting in the source IP changing every website you visit.
Let me explain this a little, our houses GENERALLY have a DHCP given IP address, within reason it's traceable. For example Tigerdirect.com has an IP of 23.200.86.182, if someone at that site uses the internet to visit anything, they will be logged as being from that IP address. Go to a shady website? Gamble online and have someone watch you? All traceable via that IP address, a quick Google search can get any individual or group the info they need in a couple clicks. But if you are using TOR? The proxies change the IP address every time they hit a proxy, and the onion is layered with TONS of proxies, not just 1, could be 2, could be 3, could be more.
Now when you log into a poker site at work, the IT guy can't watch what you do, and the government can't either, your IP address which should be your office, is actually something in Germany, or Switzerland which... with a multi layered proxy approach... can't get any government issued warrants for, layer one only leads to layer two which... that's not going to help, and good luck Mr. Government trying to get past all the red tape because... you don't exist.
This is where the onion gets tricky though, yes you can browse the regular web with it and remain hidden, but if you want to explore the underbelly, they don't use .com's or .net's, they use .onions. Which for all intents and purposes makes sense, but their domain names? Not a simple google or samsclub, but a long drawn out random assortment of letters and numbers, makes remembering them next to impossible. Allow me to introduce the hidden wiki, a simple website that has a list of many deep web sites where you can do almost anything.
You'll quickly notice that a good portion of the deep web, are activist sites and shops, many that are very well known are secret black market drugs, prostitution, firearms, citizenship... really "bad" things. For some reason I guess these are the most well known, but remember... its anonymous so... what can be the problem? Buy a gun, have it shipped to your door, 100% anonymous, no-one knows, not even the mail man (yep there is a UK gun distributor). How can it be anonymous if you have to pay? I guess that'll have to be for another day, and as always, be safe my goblins.
