—¿Deep Web? I heard something about that ...

—Yes, 96% of Internet is not accessible through standard search engines. You can find everything there: kiddie porn, bitcoins laundering, narcotics buying ...

—¿And how you are accessed?

—It's pretty easy, but be warned: eye where you click. There are crazy things that complicate.

Luke Goodwin dialogue and a minor character in House of Cards S02E02





When I finish watching an episode of House of Cards, I usually put the next and repeat the process until you fall asleep. This time I turned off the TV and went straight to the computer. Let's see, I told myself, how much fiction there in what just happened in the series? He had never entered Tor and really wanted to know if you can hire hackers hired as anyone looking for a plumber in Google. I downloaded TorBrowser and in a minute was on the Hidden Wiki, a directory of pages that can not enter without a proxy.

Thus began my week of immersion in the deep web, inspired by hatred of Frank Underwood and the curiosity to explore this moral netherworld distracted that is the darknet. Anarchy, "fun without limits", the PS4 at a suspiciously low price ... Here begins a story about the only place in the world where if your camel you with a delivery fails, you can open an online dispute to recover your money.





This is what you will find in the Deep Web





The Hidden Wiki

The Hidden Wiki It is traditionally the box out of deep web: a directory of other invisible pages that users themselves checked daily. It is an essential service because the pages are constantly changing domain and Tor is only navigable with an updated list of links to hand.

It is true that there are other wikis and even a search engine, but the hidden wiki has acquired an official character in the deep web. It works well as an index; So if we look at the map content of your homepage we do a pretty good idea of what sites and services hide behind Tor:





Financial Services: washing bitcoins, PayPal accounts stolen, cloned credit cards, counterfeit banknotes, portfolios anonymous money ...

And ¿what I came to do here, anyway? Oh yeah.





Hackers Custom

Rent-A-Hacker: hired a cracker using Comic Sans





In House of Cards, Luke Goodwin took advantage of the anonymity of Tor to hire a hacker who could help puncture the phone vice president. And in the end it turned out that yes, it's that easy to find hackers hired in the deep web. Hidden Wiki linking itself to various services and hacking forums, I had only one click.

I was struck "Rent-A-Hacker," a European Computer who claimed to have twenty years of experience in social engineering and illegal hacking. DDoS attacks offered, zero-day exploits, Trojans "highly customized" and phishing; but no trace of the phone pricked vice president.

The minimum amount for less work was 200 euros, from there everything you want. The guy had even a referral program: if you invited your friends, you were wearing 1% of what they paid. Despite this advantage, Rent-A-Hacker I did not quite convey confidence; perhaps the head in Comic Sans. So I kept looking.

The next option I found was "Hacker4hire | Cyber crime solution" yes desglosaba service prices:

Hack a web server (VPS or hosting): $ 120

Hack into a personal computer: $ 80

Hack a Facebook profile, Twitter, etc: $ 50

Develop spyware: $ 180

Find someone: $ 140

Investigate someone: $ 120

Cyber-extortion "budget request by mail"

They were more affordable than Rent-A-Hacker, of course. But there was a problem: a quick search on Google warned me that it could be a scam. This was my first encounter with one of the undisputed protagonists of the deep web: the scam.





Free bar scams

In a completely free market, which proliferates faster are the scammers. We are already quite accustomed to the scam on the Internet (when we offer the legacy of a Nigerian prince, never accept), but in the deep web, where the only thing that protects you as a buyer is precaution, the scam can become very sophisticated and compelling. One of the scams that you look not to come and already has a name is the exit scam: when a salesman, who had a good reputation in the market, decides he will close your account but still receive orders until they begin to suspect buyers. Tor there are people doing everything possible to keep your money, and in the end this also harms legitimate vendors. So there are some mechanisms to stop the scam, as the Escrow. When a store offers Escrow, it means that will intermediary in the buying process: retains the transaction until the seller sends the product reaches the buyer. If a problem occurs, the store itself allows you to open a dispute, such as PayPal.

Of course in the deep web is not enough to be wary of scammers: there is the FBI. A "honeypot" is a false web mounted by a bailiff to catch you doing illegal activity. You see that unless you go sightseeing like me, the deep web have to walk on eggshells.





Big surfaces

Methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine for sale in Middle-Earth





Silk Road needs no introduction, is the most famous brand Tor. It was known since 2011 as the Amazon of the drug until the FBI managed to find servers store and close it. Then came Silk Road 2.0 and it happened again the same.

But here I was an orphan Tor browsing and trying to figure out what the new "Amazon of the drug". By sales volume it seemed to be clear: Agora darknet is the largest market and the second Evolution. Moreover, in DeepDotNet they have a list of stores with safety information and user reviews. After checking out, I decided to register on Agora, Evolution and Middle-Earth (the three offer Escrow). The process was the same in all three cases: there was no need email; elegies a user name, a password and pin you had to remember. After you were inside. These are some of the illegal products that can be purchased:

Narcotics: there are a lot of supply; Evolution 18,700 and 14,500 results in Agora. It sells wholesale and girls quantities, but according to a study are small traders who buy more. There are also a lot of variety, drugs with more results include marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, hashish, methamphetamine and heroin.

Premium accounts: annuities Spotify, Hulu, Netflix and Minecraft for two euros.

the three stores are in short supply; especially guns, which are usually sold used. Ammunition all you want, either AK-47 cartridges. Hacking: the same services that we traded before here too.

The interface of the small Middle-Earth eats the Agora and Evolution in charm and functionality (for example, can change prices of bitcoins to euros at any time), but Agora and Evolution provide more information on the reliability of vendors apart from that are ten times more supply and a good community forums and Reddit. Amazon are the real drug, or rather the eBay black market.

"I'm gonna get lucky"





But I still had to discover Grams, the Google web dark. Grams is a product finder algorithm which integrates several criptomercados drug; ie if you are looking cannabis him in Evolution, Agora and several others. It also has its own "pagerank" sorts the results according to the number of purchases and positive ratings.

Grams is a very recent web, but that soon has integrated several interesting services to its users, always around your main product is the search engine. For example, they have an advertising platform called TorAds. What are you going pillaging: everything is intentionally inspired by Google.





Local stores

C'thulhu: solutions to everyday problems!





If the deep web facilities puts someone is to entrepreneurs. I was especially struck by the gunmen, "C'thulhu", "Quick Kill" or "Contract Killer" contract killings offer from $ 20,000 in prepaid always. ¿Scam? I want to think so, but for now no one has delegitimized (maybe because no one dares to make an "empirical verification"). Scam or not, they have all studied. Table I C'thulhu price is detailed for example how much it would look like an accident: would be $ 75,000 for one person and $ 300,000 heap for high office. If too, you can always opt to leave them paralyzed for half the price.

PS4 and Xbox One stolen





Another group that has taken advantage of the opportunities of the deep web is the thieves and pickpockets. I found several pages of individual selling cloned credit cards, next-gen consoles at half price and Apple products: iPhones and iPads many stolen, despite how easy it is to block them for iCloud.

Counterfeiters are also at home. There is a page in Tor specializing in counterfeits of euro and dollar, with very convincing pictures of the results. For small amounts, they charge 40% of the value of the actual ticket; for large orders, they ask only 25%.





A library for libertarians

The World According paraZite





Tired of going shopping without buying anything, I decided to find some reading. What forbidden books hid the deep web? I came across paraZite, a psychedelic collection of links and anarchist texts. a pro-atheism community, pro-suicide, hard pro-drug and pro-several other things are declared; and anti-censorship, anti-copyright, anti-anti-moralism and various other things.

paraZite offers hours of reading through hundreds of text files with fragments taken from Internet forums, blogs, emails and books. Some headlines:

cheat.txt: how to copy in exams.

how to copy in exams. smoking.guide.txt: how to smoke marijuana.

22 ways to kill a man with your hands. dogsxgui.txt: a guide to sex with dogs.





The engine without fuel that the government does not want you to see





The more mature and complex literature found on another website: The Tor Library. This project is now in the 160 gigabytes of ebooks, nine of them in Spanish. In the catalog English saw a little of everything (from the planes engine without fuel to how to decorate cakes), but in Spanish themes vary between anarchy, anti-capitalism and self-reliance.

They have written home content by hand and scanned (Wind Energy: A Practical Handbook for the construction of windmills), copyrighted books (the mythical The Anarchist Cookbook) and several manuals hundreds of pages to antisistemas: from jungle survival until " security for activists, "with instructions to protect our data and communications. All available for direct download.





Theories of almost everything

One theory about time travel Cebolla Chan





Cebolla Chan (in spanish) is the standard bearer of the deep web in Spanish. My favorite section of the forum is to conspiranoia, where issues that indoctrinated minds do not come to understand, as the theory of the hollow earth, Satanism, anything that has to do with aliens or the thousand ways the government to have us discuss controlled: chemtrails, fluoride water ... the conspiracy theorists are everywhere, and the deep web could not be less. I have in the download history to 40,000 words a pamphlet arguing that the Holocaust never happened.

Even the deep own site has its particular urban legend: that of the Web Marianas. It is said to be the deepest level of Internet and if you managed to access it you'd see things that incite suicide. The reality is that it is a trolling of 4chan.





And worst of the deep web

"This site has been confiscated hidden"





Before starting this article, I opened a thread on 4chan asking if anyone knew interesting links in Tor, for if I had missed something. "I do not want drugs and child pornography," I clarified. "I'm just looking websites that are different." The only answer was:

— ¿What you wanted then you enter the deep web?

There are many webs of exchange of child pornography on the web deep, but there you go looking for them to meet them. The Hidden Wiki does not link CP (child porn) on the cover, only on an inside page besiege Constantly other users. There is also the disadvantage that they are very likely to change pages domain or turned off for a while. The FBI has managed to close a few at this time. Moreover Tor is so easy to configure that many communities of child pornography have become Freenet and especially to I2P.

Notice of child pornography in a forum snuff content





So that it is easier to run into it is with gore pages. One day, I'm not sure how I ended up on a board in which pictures of women crushing animals were shared; with heels, with the ass or the neckline. I saw only tiny frames in videos, but I had nightmares about it; There are fetishes that one can not come to understand.

There has also been much mystified ecosystem snuff videos (containing violence and murder). There are recordings of everyone talks and no one has seen, others just discovered they were a montage ...

But those do not count when you find barbarities as Daisy's Destruction, a series of sickening recordings distributed in the deep web in exchange for bitcoins. We need more Rust Cohle and Martin Hart in the world.
