On the morning of June 9, 2017, the case of Chinese student Zhang Yingying being victimized in the United States caused a global sensation.

While everyone was angry at the murderer, another website gradually came closer to everyone's view. This special website was the dark web that the murderer had browsed before committing a premeditated crime.

And who would have thought that the dark web involved in this incident was only the tip of the iceberg.

So what exactly is a dark web? How was it built again, and why did those who witnessed it keep silent?

What is a dark net?

The so-called dark web refers to a special area hidden behind the websites that we usually come into contact with, which is an illegal website that is difficult for the government to control.

In this illegal website, all personal information will be erased. Due to its high secrecy, the dark web has become a gathering place for illegal elements around the world.

On the dark internet, a series of illegal transactions can be conducted. All users who have personally experienced the dark web are silent about their dark web experiences. If anyone wants to explore the truth of the dark web with curiosity, they will only be pulled into the abyss of eternity.

So, how terrifying is the dark web that makes people so fearful that all those who have experienced it are unwilling to talk about it.

Firstly, we need to know that entering the dark web is not as easy as entering ordinary websites, and we must use specific tools and special links to smoothly enter the dark web.

In the dark web, if you want to engage in deeper transactions, you will also pay a certain fee to become a member in order to access deeper trading channels.

So what exactly are the sales on the dark internet and what kind of transactions would require such secretive channels?

One of them is the arms trade. In the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, France, a large number of automatic rifles used by criminals were mostly traded on the dark internet.

Criminals also use the dark web as a secret base for their premeditated plans to evade government investigation.

In addition, there is a small portion of transactions that involve image trading, with at least 80% of them targeting women and children.

As a vulnerable group, women and children, due to their physical fitness not being able to compete with adult men, will find it difficult to escape once they fall into the hands of criminals.

In recent years, there have been more and more street kidnapping incidents, mainly targeting women and children. However, such cases often make it difficult to find missing persons in a short period of time. So where will the kidnappers take the victims? This cannot help but link it with the illegal trading behavior of the dark web.

So since the dark web is so terrifying, why did you even build this platform in the first place?

When people delved into the origin of the dark web, they realized that it was originally built in the United States.

Construction of a dark network

As early as the end of the last century, technicians at the US Naval Research Institute proposed to build an absolutely anonymous platform to transmit some intelligence information to intelligence personnel.

In order to ensure the absolute security of information transmission, they invented the "onion router", abbreviated as Tor.

In this anonymous platform, personal identity information and IP addresses are protected layer by layer like onions.

So since it is an official system operated by the United States, why would it be placed in the hands of some illegal elements in the civilian community?

Due to the slow operation of onion routing at the beginning, the US military hired two graduates from Massachusetts Institute of Technology to join and redeveloped a more powerful system.

They just didn't expect that in just over a decade, this system had already spawned countless "onion browsers" and even spread to the public.

I2P is known as "garlic routing", which is a variant technology extended from onion routing.

As a highly secretive system, one-way encryption is also used to ensure the security of end-to-end information transmission on the network. The characteristic of one-way encryption only allows information from each node to pass through.

Dark networks transmit data through a large number of servers. As the transmitted data information can only be read by subsequent nodes, the IP addresses and user information of dark network visitors will be protected, and the external world cannot track the relevant user data information.

Ordinary users need to use VPN and Tor browser to achieve anonymous access to the dark network. It is precisely because of the encrypted calls between users, including anonymous chat room conversations, document sharing and transmission functions, that so many users are attracted to participate.

The dark web is like putting a mask on every visiting user, achieving the ultimate goal of network freedom.

Due to the increasing demand for transactions on dark networks, users in different regions of the network are unable to use real currency, which has brought certain obstacles to the development of dark networks.

Afterwards, the dark web gradually introduced the use of virtual currency for trading, and the emergence of virtual currency became a booster for promoting the rampant growth of dark web trading.

Since then, the scale of the dark web has grown stronger and has spread to various corners of the world, with more and more illegal elements conducting illegal transactions on it, and the user group has gradually spread to ordinary people's homes. Any netizen who uses crooked thinking to seek stimulation and explore the legal red line cannot escape once they penetrate into it.

So, why do every insider of the dark web keep quiet about this matter? Are they also accomplices in promoting illegal and criminal behavior?

The concerns of those who have experienced the dark web

Let's decipher the silent truth from a well-known incident, which is the N room incident.

Since the construction of Room N in 2018, there has been continuous participation from netizens. In a short period of time, the number of registered members alone has reached 260000.

The number of victims is also constantly increasing, many of whom are minors, and the youngest victim is even just two years old. At the same time, the content of these chat rooms is constantly refreshing the lower limits of humanity.

Undoubtedly, the 260000 members who participated in watching the chat room were all accomplices to committing illegal acts. However, due to the large number of people and the difficulty in tracking their IP addresses, many perpetrators cancelled their accounts and were able to escape after the incident was exposed.

Some of them are 1/260000 like the incident in Room N, and if they expose their own experiences, they may be questioned and pursued by the police.

Even if it has not yet constituted an illegal or criminal act, it will still face moral questioning and the condemnation of many netizens. They often choose to remain silent and deny their previous behavior in order to escape the condemnation of their conscience.

And another group of people infiltrated the dark web due to curiosity, and this group of experienced individuals refused to reveal the truth, which is likely to be out of protecting their own safety.

The dark web is a criminal zone that is difficult to control, and the transactions involved are not something that ordinary people can afford. If one exposes one's identity and is targeted by criminal organizations, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If they learn about the criminal activities of other organizations during the process of accessing the dark internet, they are highly likely to be subjected to retaliatory actions. These end users can view human life as worthless, and not only their own lives will be at risk, but even their family and surrounding friends may be implicated as a result.

It is precisely because those who have experienced the dark web are silent at critical moments that the police also find it difficult to obtain relevant clues and informants when investigating cases, resulting in the low efficiency of similar cases that are difficult to solve.

So, how far is such a terrifying dark web from our online life? How should we, as ordinary netizens, strengthen our protection and protect ourselves from harm?

How far is the dark web from us?

At present, China's regulation of the online environment has reached very strict standards, establishing a very strong barrier for us, but there are always some fish who like to take risks.

According to statistics, the proportion of netizens who log in to dark websites on a daily basis in China is relatively small. However, based on the characteristics of most netizens interviewed, the majority are young men, with Guangdong netizens accounting for a relatively large proportion, accounting for 21% of the total number.

The dark web may seem far from our online life, but in reality, it may silently fill our surroundings.

Therefore, the government has been implementing strict measures to crack down on the regulatory issues of dark networks. Any attempt by netizens to provoke cybersecurity and trample on legal dignity will ultimately face serious accusations.

As ordinary netizens, we cannot take it lightly. In the face of numerous and diverse information on the internet, we must strengthen our awareness of prevention, avoid seeking cheap opportunities, and do not trust any high paying job channels, because any simple yet quick to make money method is written in the criminal law.

In recent years, telecom fraud cases in northern Myanmar have been common, and many young people have been scammed into it and unable to escape. These bloody facts happening around us are a warning to us.

The so-called "curiosity kills the cat", if blindly and confidently step into the door of the dark web and attempt to take risks, it will only lead oneself into the abyss in the end.Because when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes at you.

summary

The dark web is an invisible hand covered in blood, constantly waiting on the internet to drag people down.

The terrifying level of the dark web is something that no one of us can compete with alone. The only thing we can do is protect our own privacy information and not randomly click on unfamiliar links.

In recent years, as the country has increased its crackdown on illegal activities on the internet, it has also given us confidence that we do not need to be overly fearful and firmly say no to illegal and criminal activities!
