Not only drugs but also firearms are also traded on the deep web.Ī deep web user identified as movad posted a comment on a page saying, "I am selling a SIG Sauer sp2022 pistol made in China. Buyers and sellers communicate only by e-mail or encrypted Telegram Messenger and rarely meet in person. The members use bitcoins instead of fake bank accounts or cash. The site also introduces marijuana dealing manuals, how to grow cannabis and even tricks to evade police crackdowns. "We provide qualified marijuana products, and safety during the trade is guaranteed," said High Korea's operator, identified only as Neo, in the webpage. With a membership of nearly 3,000, High Korea is one of the drug community sites introduced on the Hidden Wiki. The most popular web directory in the deep web is the Hidden Wiki, which provides direct links to pornographic and snuff videos as well as online drug traders. The Korea Times installed the Tor browser to access the deep web and test accessibility to such illegal activities. It bypasses Internet traffic through complicated global networks to conceal a user's location and activities, and thus is often used for illegal trade of drugs, firearms and even human organs. Tor, a free software product based on onion routing, enables anonymous access to the hidden underbelly of the Internet. The deep web, a secretive network of hidden websites also called the darknet, is increasingly being used as a channel for illegal trafficking of drugs and firearms, sources said Thursday.
