I2P: Tor; No thanks! Dark Web migrates

The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is an anonymous network layer that allows peer to peer communication.

Anonymous connections are achieved by encrypting user traffic (using end-to-end encryption) and sending data through a network of volunteers with approximately 55.000 computers distributed around the world.

Due to the very large number of possible routes that data can carry, it is rather unlikely that a particular connection will be monitored by a third party.

Το λογισμικό που υλοποιεί αυτή τη διεργασία ονομάζεται "I2P router" και ένας που τρέχει το συγκεκριμένο λογισμικό ονομάζεται "I2P node". Το I2P είναι ένα ελεύθερο και ανοιχτό λογισμικό, και δημοσιεύεται κάτω από πάρα πολλές άδειες.

I2P

Libertas Market is the first underground market to completely abandon the Tor network for I2P.

Authorities' recent success in identifying and tracking Tor users has forced cybercriminals to look for alternative platforms for their activities. According to ZDNet, at least one underground market has already migrated from Tor to the Invisible Internet Project (I2P).

Libertas Market, a website that has illegal , is the first underground market to completely abandon Tor for I2P.

"Το δίκτυο Tor δεν είναι κατάλληλο για κρυφές υπηρεσίες λόγω της ύπαρξης τρωτών σημείων που επιτρέπουν επιθέσεις άρνησης παροχής υπηρεσιών. Αυτά τα σημεία επιτρέπουν στις υπηρεσίες επιβολής του νόμου να καθορίζουν ποιες κρυφές υπηρεσίες επιτρέπεται να λειτουργήσουν."

Underground market users have long been urged to leave Tor long before Libertas Market finally decides to take that step.

Tired of the endless DDoS attacks and the constant difficulty of accessing users, many users asked its administrators Dream MarketOf Wall Street Market, Cryptonia and Empire Market to switch to I2P. No effect.

In fact, attempts to switch from Tor to I2P have already been made, but without much success. But after the closure of AlphaBay, Hansa Market and RAMP in the summer of 2017, interested users tried to further encourage drug market managers to change the network to I2P.

Here we should mention that after of Libertas Market, we expect others to follow. At times much has been heard about the Tor network and the US government it appears to be to the project sponsors.

A few words about Tor's rumors

Το Tor project, είναι ένας ιδιωτικός μη κερδοσκοπικός οργανισμός, γνωστό και σαν "NSA-proof" ή ένα portal για το "Dark Web". Το project αναφέρεται από μερικούς ότι είναι 100% χρηματοδοτούμενο από την αμερικανική κυβέρνηση, Για παράδειγμα δείτε τα έγγραφα που παρουσίασε ο ερευνητής δημοσιογράφος και συγγραφέας Yasha Levine.

Το πρόγραμμα περιήγησης Tor, ξεκίνησε το 2001, και χρησιμοποιεί την αποκαλούμενη τεχνολογία "onion routing" που αναπτύχθηκε από το Πολεμικό Ναυτικό των ΗΠΑ το 1998 για την παροχή ανωνυμίας στα δίκτυα that they were using.
