AT first glance it looks a lot like eBay. But this is no ordinary website.
For sale is a staggering array of illegal goods being traded openly online – everything from child pornography or Class-A drugs, to guns and British passports.
All this is a few clicks away on the deep web, a vast anonymous network hidden from normal web users.

Apparently it is commonly used by those who seek to destroy us.: **There are fears that terrorists are communicating and plotting on the deep web, beyond the reach of security services. All that is needed to operate is special software allowing you to connect with what lies beneath, in this shadowy online world.**
Strange. I just started reading a 2-year-old book, Windows7 for Dummies 8 books-in-One and in the "Internet" section there is a discussion about this.
So it's not really a secret, although most of us have never heard of them.

Maybe we’ll all have to be using cryptographic tools in our web surfing.
I can see how the anarchists, Arabs and Chinese are using it, for unsavory activities.
LOL at the article. Starts with a picture of a guy wearing a scary mask with a double barreled shotgun pointed at the camera. Real deep web stuff, those antique firearms! I can buy a twenty-round semi-automatic shotgun no more than a mile from my home—all perfectly legal.
Or maybe it was a deep web advertisement for the scary mask the guy was wearing. You can’t get scary masks just anywhere.
I’ll bet more than half the advertisers on the deep web are law enforcement.

When I web-shop, I usually type *Rush* into the coupon code box.
Heh.....I can barely afford fuel for my HP SUV...never mind jet fuel, silly. :)

Selling stuff out of the precinct evidence room.
And that is the real purpose of the article.
Yes, researchers do estimate that only about 10% of what is available through the internet is searchable by google, but that doesn't mean that 90% of the internet is criminal activity. Most of what is not indexable is either asked to not be indexable by search engines, or in databases connected to the web, but not searchable by search engines.
This criminal activity certainly goes on, but it is not 90% of the web traffic. Its more like .0001%
LOL. I didn’t know they let kids into the deep web. It’s pretty cool they have shopping carts, though.
But that’s one scary mask.
Selling stuff out of the precinct evidence room.
There was a thread here a while back about DoD selling military surplus to various California police agencies. All information was available to the public.
This caught my eye, also: **Experts say it is 100 or 200 times larger than the internet most users access**
It’s where they get their porn. :(
Lots of *ammo* threads too.
