After a lengthy 16 trial, unprecedented in the history of the global judicial system, Ross William Ulbricht was found guilty of seven charges, including money laundering and drug trafficking. It all started in Deep Web.
Ο Ross William Ulbricht, επίσης γνωστός και ως “Dread Pirate Roberts,” είναι ο ιδρυτής της online ναρκο-αγοράς Silk Road, διάσημη για τα τις συναλλαγές ναρκωτικών και γενικότερα με οτιδήποτε έχει σχέση με έγκλημα. Αντιμετωπίζει μια πιθανή ισόβια για συμφωνίες που έγιναν σε έναν χώρο που όλοι μοιραζόμαστε και συνήθως θεωρούμε δεδομένο: τον κυβερνοχώρο.
Most people heard about it Deep Web, when Ulbricht was arrested and details were made public on how big a site was Silk Road. It is now known that the Deep Web is a source of content that is not visible to those who do not know.
Our daily online habits take place on the surface of the web, and include web browsing that their content is indexed by crawlers searching and collecting data. On the surface of the web, search results show social pages, games, and more.
It is believed that the surface tissue is estimated to be is only 0,03% of the total content of the Internet detected by search engines.
The researchers of Trend Micro defined the term "Deep Web" as "a category of content on the Internet that, for various technical reasons, is not indexed by search engines."
To put it literally, content hosted on the Deep Web is hidden, hard to track and anonymous. Recently, the film Blackhat introduced some of its defining characteristics DeepWeb, such as the Onion Router (TOR) used by hackers (and not only) to hide their location.
Note, however, that many mistakenly equate the Deep Web to refer only to the Onion Router (TOR) network. This is extremely inaccurate since TOR is only one of the three darknets networks which offer anonymity. The other two are I2P and Freenet.
DeepWeb is also full of websites and content hosted on alternative top-level domains or "rogue TLDs" that are not visible to most of us.
