Top 7 Bizarre Deep Web Facts
The dark web is a place only accessed by specialized
web browsers.
This software anonymizes the user’s real
location, IP address and identifying factors.
This is done by sending the internet connection
throughout various "Relays" which are comprised
of thousands of computers based throughout
the world.
Sites on the dark web can’t be found on
search engines such as Google.
This means the things you will find there
are often illegal, bizarre and terrifying.
We do not condone use of the Deep Web and
strongly discourage anyone from attempting
to use it.

Global Drug Market
The dark web is home to a large number of
underground drug marketplaces.
Within these websites you can easily access
listings for Cocaine, Heroin, Meth, Marijuana
and any other host of recreational drugs.
However other more sinister drugs can also
be found such as those designed to incapacitate
or kill anyone exposed to them.
In February of 2015 a man from Liverpool England
was apprehended after purchasing 500mg of
what he believed to be Ricin.
This deadly poison is capable of killing humans
exposed to even the smallest traces.
However the deep web seller turned out to
be an undercover FBI agent who mailed the
suspect a toy car containing several hidden
vials of inert powder.
The suspect was arrested and charged although
his intentions for using the poison remain
unknown.
6.
Counterfeit Kingdom
We have all seen the fake Rolex watches and
Nike shoes sold on street corners around the
globe; however the deep web has taken this
to the next level.
By logging on you are provided with an online
shopping experience allowing you to browse
a selection ranging from fake consumer products
to false identification documents.
Things such as Fake ID’s for college kids
are a common sight, but it’s not all fun
and games, within this marketplace you can
find birth certificates, police badges and
passports often used by terrorists and criminals
to avoid detection.
These fake documents can be used to flee countries,
board planes and create entire new identities,
making this a top security concern to law
makers.
5.
Money Laundering
With so much illicit cash at stake criminals
have established a system to launder illegal
proceeds into clean money.
Users offer services to cash out bitcoins
which are the virtual currency used to anonymously
pay for goods on the deep web.
The sellers will make a profit by adding a
5-10% fee for allowing users to cash out.
Once ordered an envelope full of bills is
sent direct to your doorstep.
This nearly untraceable method is an integral
part of the system, allowing users to discreetly
collect funds and reinvest them back into
their criminal enterprises.
4.
Weapons Trading Ground
The anonymity of the deep web brings with
it a host of illicit items for sale, one of
the most popular is weapons.
Black market weapons sites are easily accessible
and provide users the ability to shop for
items such as fully automatic machine guns,
grenades, RPG’s , sniper rifles and any
other modern weaponry.
With no background checks and no questions
asked its clear to see why this is a concern
for law enforcement.
This year alone several individuals were arrested
trying to order weapons through the mail.
However for every shipment stopped hundreds
likely make it through, leaving us to wonder
where these anonymous guns end up and what
crimes they may be used in.
3.
Rent A Hacker
Whether you are a disgruntled lover or a criminal
looking to crack a bank account the deep web
has you covered.
Large scale forums and communities of hackers
for hire have sprung up all across the web
offering services such as a “Virus Creation
Kits” or a spy tool that injects itself
into a user’s computer allowing you to listen
in.
Some of the more advanced offerings include
hacking designated bank accounts or shutting
down websites you specify.
A hired hacker can steal thousands or hundreds
of thousands in funds from a target bank account
in seconds, a problem that has cost financial
institutions millions in recent years.
2.
Killer For Hire
As we inch closer to our top spot we reach
a topic that is both terrifying and interesting.
Organized groups of hitmen have begun to proposition
themselves throughout the Deep Web offering
services ranging from kidnap to murder.
A profession once reserved for the depths
of crime syndicates these killers display
their offerings to potential customers, murder
of a common man may only cost tens of thousands,
where-as the killing of a high ranking individual
will cost hundreds of thousands.
Although ruthless, the criminals draw the
line by specifying they will not kill anyone
under 17 years old or anyone involved in politics.
Interested parties have the option to contact
the killers to discuss the job in depth, often
arranging chilling phone calls to hatch their
plan.
1.
Red Rooms
Our top spot is taken by a chilling part of
the web, so deep very few have ever been there.
Far beyond the reaches of the average user,
these areas are only accessed by a selected
group of sick and twisted individuals.
A red room is said to be a live-stream hosted
where a victim is shown, usually trapped or
bound to prevent escape.
Chillingly a masked person appears in the
frame, the start to a horrific show.
It is said users pay thousands of dollars
to be invited into the twisted video streams.
With an available chat box the highest paying
viewer directs the killer on what to do with
the victim, often time torture ensues, making
this the most chilling part of the internet.
Believed to be hosted in lawless foreign countries
these streams are rarely seen and only a few
documented instances exist of users claiming
to have viewed them.
Many speculate that Red Rooms may simply be
a false rumor started to spread fear among
the internet, however continued police raids
of dark web sites lead many to believe they
do indeed exist.
