The deep web consists of websites with encrypted
networks that no one can know the users’
locations or identities.
Due to this, it has become a place on the
internet with the most
mysterious discoveries.

The Hell Forum
This is an infamous deep web hacking forum
dubbed Hell, unquestionably up to no good.
It is
used by criminal hackers and scammers to share
stolen data, usually of very high value and
importance, hacking tips and other techniques
with each other.
The forum gained notoriety early 2015 when
a hacker known as ROR[RG] posted a message
board called “Hacked Data” with fifteen
spreadsheets on it.
The message board also had a
motto that read “sharing and caring”.
The data came from the hack of the popular
online
dating/hookup site Adult Friend Finder, which
has more than 60 million members, making it
the
biggest splashy hack of that time.
These files contained highly personal information
about almost four million people.
This
included their names, locations email addresses,
and their sexual preferences.
For more than one month, almost no one outside
of the Hell Forum seemed to notice the
undoubtedly enormous data breach, with millions
of people’s private lives at stake, some
of
whom were likely married or in stable relationships;
making them targets for extortion.
Hell
indeed.
It wasn’t until three months later when
a British Tv station, Channel 4, broke the
story that the
rest of the world found out.
This is when the Adult Friend Finder admitted
to the breach on its
website.
The number of the Hell Forum users doubled
with numbers increasing by a hundred
each day.
The popularity also brought some unwanted
and unwelcomed attention to the forum.
Cops
began lurking the forum.
Despite the admin’s, also founder of the
site known by the pseudo
name of “Ping”, attempts on shaking them
off by deleting inactive accounts every first
day of
the month, Ping disappeared suggesting rumors
that he had been arrested.
He returned a few
days later but the forum remained closed.
In early 2016, an old Hell admin going by
the name “HA” relaunched the forum which
has the
same appearance and experience as the old
one.

Assassination Market.
You in the mood to buy some murder with your
Bitcoin?
Well, that’s the whole idea behind
Assassination Market, the Kickstarter-like
website which allows users to crowdfund murders
through donations of Bitcoin, the anonymous
digital currency.
The hidden internet marketplace
could be a nightmare for world leaders.
Founded in 2013, the site is only accessible
through Tor network with a list of bounties
all of
which target various government officials.
Forbes reporter, Andy Greenber, talked to
Kuwabatake Sanjuro, crypto-anarchist and founder
of the Assassination Market (not his real
name), who holds the belief that the site
will change the world for the better by destroying
all
governments everywhere.
Sanjuro’s main argument is that once a few
politicians get killed the ‘war on privacy’
that they
are apparently waging will end.
A few months after the site was founded, former
chairman of
the Federal Reserve System Ben Bernanke got
the most money in his ‘dead pool’ with
a listing
of 124.14 Bitcoin or about $71,000 as at November
2013.
Jyrki Katainen, former prime minister
of Finland, Francois Hollande, President of
the French Republic and Barrack Obama, former
US
president appeared on the list.
To collect the money after a kill the would-be
hitman must prove that they are responsible
for
the death by predicting the date of killing
ahead of time and embedding it in a donation
of one
Bitcoin or more.
Sanjuro would collect 1% of the payout for
himself as a commission fee.
In late 2016, a similar site appeared on the
dark web calling for donations to facilitate
the
assassination of President Donald Trump and
Vice President Mike Pence, both of the US.
The
Termination Donald Trump site includes the
address of a Bitcoin wallet to which people
can
make donations.
By August 2016 the attached account had received
115 Bitcoin or $88, 550.
The site stated that the consequences of having
Donald Trump and Mike Pence as leaders of
the free world are extremely dangerous.
And that the political, environmental, and
social
consequences will change the US for the worst.

The Mysterious Photo of a 15 to 16 year-old-girl
Mark Spielman is a former police officer who
prides himself as an expert in exploring the
darker
corners of the web.
It then happened that someone with his particular
skill-set was needed in
the local police department to assist in criminal
investigations where critical evidence might
have been hidden in the deep web.
The job started by tracking sites and secret
networks notorious for sharing child pornography
and other concealed illegal activities.
Mark could track down any user, even those
who hid
behind multiple proxies and the evidence he
gathered helped the department crack multiple
cases.
It even extended to him tracing people who
hacked into the police database and altering
evidence.
Mark then found what he believed to be one
of the largest child porn rings ever discovered,
tracing a single lead, the URL Sweet15, which
led him to a virtual warehouse of depravity.
As he
investigated further, he saw dozens of links
to image files with a name; ‘Katie.jpg.’
‘Peggy.jpg.’
He decided to click on one of these links
named ‘Cathy.jpg.’
He was presented with a photo of a girl, around
15 to 16 years old smiling faintly while standing
in a dimly lit room.
She was not depicted in a sexual way she did
not appear nervous or
threatened.
Prepared to move to the next link, he noticed
the URL corresponding to the image,
which read ‘Janice.jpg.’ not ‘Cathy.jpg.’
He tried another image link this time ‘Susan.jpg.’
he got
the same result.
Same photo of the smiling girl, and again
under the URL ‘Janice.jpg.’
He ended up opening up 100 photos both with
the same picture.
On the last page of the logs he
saw a single file name ‘Truejanice.jpg.’
immediately he clicked on it his computer
erupted into a
flurry of critical error messages before completely
freezing.
His computer had been infiltrated
with a malicious application which deleted
every one of his files and replaced them with
newly
downloaded image files.
They were the images of the same girl, only
she looked scared this time.
As he pressed onwards
image revealed a progressively more horrifying
scenario with the girl’s expression turning
from
terror to agony as the room became darker
and darker.
Toward the end of the file list, the girl
was tied to the bed frame with a male occupant
using sharp instruments on her, as she lost
blood severely.
Most of the images were solid black now, by
the second last file, Mark saw ‘Janice’
facing the
camera as she had in the beginning with her
eyes sunken her skin drained of color and
her face
dotted with dried blood.
He clicked the final file and was met with
a single line of text.
Who is
Janice?
According to the police report, the word document
of the entire ordeal was the only evidence
found on his computer.
No trace of the Sweet15 directory was found
on his computer.
The
report also states Mark had disappeared after
he’d left work that day and to date, his
whereabouts are still unknown.

Sad Satan
Sad Satan is a horror game unlike any other.
It can only be downloaded via the tools that
can
access the hidden depths of the internet.
Jamie, owner of YouTube Channel Obscure Horror
Conner received a link one of his subscribers
sent him to a game called Sad Satan located
in a deep website.
The Subscriber found it in a
forum post listed as the link to the game
signed with the initials ‘ZK’.
Jamie downloaded the file and ran a malware
check on it.
According to him, everything seemed
to check out so he started playing it and
recording videos for his YouTube Channel.
For most of
it the player walks down a series of hallways
in the dark maze and usually, the footsteps
make
the soundtracks.
Occasionally the visuals are interrupted by
brief flashes of black and white
photography.
Towards the end, the soundtrack builds to
a loud rumble accompanied by what
sounds like a dialogue track extremely slowed
down.
The two images flashed in the first video
is a gentleman at Konopiste in the Czech Republic.
It
was the last residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand,
the man whose assassination started WWI.
Sad Satan has several other parts and the
internet does not have a conclusion to its
course yet.
It is simply a creepy oddity and holds inside
of it several references waiting to be decoded.
1 Red Room
A red room is a hidden website available in
the deep web where you can participate in
torture
and murder, as the stories go, sometimes rape.
Red room generally contains explicit
harassment and torture subjected by a command
given by an evil person online.
The person
will pay for the torture online using Bitcoin
where the video is then telecasted live.
According to the amount of money transferred
to the owner, he will start making torture
as per
the typing instruction.
More money, more tortures.
The blood and screaming do serve as some
sort of entertainment to the users.
The proof is yet to be found that these sites
actually exist.
One case that suggests red rooms
might truly exist is that of Peter Scully,
a pedophile currently facing trial in the
Philippines.
Users of the pedophile site paid up to $10,000
to watch videos of Scully abuse and torture
a
young child.
The video, Daisy’s Destruction features
horrifying abuse and sexual assault of the
child.
It was streamed on ‘Hurtcore’ pedophile
sites where the Philippines watch torture
and
abuse of children and babies.
