As it\u2019s the only platform for the whistleblowers to raise their voices, \u201c<em>Robin Hood<\/em>\u201d hackers to bring back what was stolen from us and, the flourishing debate between Satanism and Godliness to take place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1096 size-full\" title=\"Hamza Bendelladj, an Algerian hacker\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artattackk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/4-1.webp\" alt=\"Hamza Bendelladj, an Algerian hacker\" width=\"978\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2015\/09\/algerian-hacker-hero-hoodlum-150921083914167.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamza Bendelladj<\/a>, an Algerian hacker, who robbed several US banks and distributed the money (close to $400 million) among the Palestinian activist organisations.

We know nothing about them as moral terrorism is yet to be famous), terrorists (the \u201creal\u201d terrorists as far as I know!), journalists (yeah, like the real ones!), etc.<\/p>\n<h2>How Can I Access the Dark Internet?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1093 size-full\" title=\"Access the Dark Internet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artattackk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/113.webp\" alt=\"Access the Dark Internet\" width=\"978\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The term Dark Net is first coined during the late 70s, which however became famous only after the introduction of \u201cTor browser\u201d in the year of 2004 under a general license category. The <strong>Tor browser<\/strong> was developed by the <strong>US Naval Research lab<\/strong> during the 2000th year of our Lord with the purpose of protecting U.S. intelligence communication online. (It\u2019s still in the protecting mode but the \u201citem-of-interest\u201d has changed.) It currently is a non-profit organization and also a kingdom of knowledge by not telling the users what they can or can\u2019t look for on the internet. (Not the stupidity of keywords here mates.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #80ff80;\">Many people would say that it is rich in the illegal content section so, why doesn\u2019t the government shut it down? I would remind them once again that it\u2019s always the people uploading these \u201c<em>fine pieces of art<\/em>\u201d not the creators! So, just because someone is using it in the wrong manner, we can\u2019t punish its creators. (Imagine Punishing <strong>Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar<\/strong> for making this country democratic!)<\/p>\n<h2>How Tor Conceals the Identity of its Users?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tor<\/strong> lists (<strong>.onion<\/strong>) websites that are not-indexed by any other search engines. A dark net URL will look something like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/Http:\/\/pwoah8foa6nu2pul.onion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Http:\/\/pwoah8foa6nu2pul.onion<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>(Where the domain name is always utter gibberish succeeded by a dot onion extension which can be accessed by Tor browser only.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The client can obtain the list of Tor nodes from any directory server and can take any random path to get to the server which makes it almost impossible to trace back the thread\u2019s original location. (Although, the <strong>FBI <\/strong>did stop a terrorist attack from happening by intercepting \u201c<em>peace talks<\/em>\u201d between <strong>Al-Qaida<\/strong> personnels on the darknet. How did that happen? I\u2019ve absolutely no idea!)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1108 size-full\" title=\"Al-Qaida \" src=\"https:\/\/www.artattackk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/56.webp\" alt=\"Al-Qaida \" width=\"978\" height=\"331\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tor uses <strong>Bitcoins <\/strong>which is a digitally encrypted currency, making the transactions seems almost anonymous.<\/p>\n<h2>Some Facts about Tor Browser<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Getting someone killed has never been easy. You can hire \u201c<em>specialists<\/em>\u201d to kill an ordinary person for something like twenty thousand US Dollars. (Like Seriously! $20k is the actual worth of your life, and here, you\u2019re thinking about a \u201c<em>bulletproof<\/em>\u201d billion dollar idea, how will it matter after your death?)<\/li>\n<li>All \u201cgood\u201d things come out of the US only, and this one is just a brilliant example to depict the same. Almost 80% funding for Tor\u2019s operations come from the <strong>US government<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Edward_Snowden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edward Snowden<\/a>, a former CIA agent and true nationalist, used the dark web to leak the classified information about the <strong>NSA\u2019s mass surveillance programs<\/strong>. (And we thought God\u2019s eye was fiction! Also, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/artattackk.com\/blogs\/social-media\/from-orkut-to-facebook-the-evolution-of-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> which is pretty much the same thing).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1095 size-full\" title=\"Edward Snowden\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artattackk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/35.webp\" alt=\"Edward Snowden\" width=\"978\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/nation.time.com\/2013\/10\/04\/a-simple-guide-to-silk-road-the-online-black-market-raided-by-the-fbi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silk Road<\/a>, a black market site, made one thing exceptionally clear to everybody out there, which is to \u201c<em>live like a boss and die like a king<\/em>\u201d after making almost 1.2 Billion Dollar transactions before going down in flames.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019re suggested not to go wandering on the dark side of the Internet as it can make your personal details openly accessible to the vast universe that is just hungry for the sensitive information. There is one particular example of a guy who tried to expose the credit card fraudsters of the dark net and got rewarded by a gram of heroin and a bunch of <strong>SWAT <\/strong>guys at his door.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GCHQ <\/strong>(Govt. Communication Headquarters) and <strong>NSA <\/strong>have formed a joint operation cell to cut down on the illegal activity sites based on the report provided by an IBM security research group called X-Force.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency<\/strong> (DARPA) has started indexing sites that have their safe abode on the servers of the dark Internet. (Arduous task really but somebody has to do the job, right?)<\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #80ff80;\">So, until that happens, hands off the darkness as the world needs positivity, not the rebellion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":814,"template":"","class_list":["post-813","digitalmarketing","type-digitalmarketing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
