![]() ![]() ![]() Subreddits and subdreads are usually based on areas of interest. Moderators control what type of posts are allowed, and they can ban users from their subreddit or subdread if they think they’re a jerk or breaking their rules. Anyone can make their own subreddit (or subdread). Just as darknet markets are based on the eBay model, Dread is based on the Reddit model. If they don’t sell what they say they sell, their reputation takes a hit. Vendors and sellers develop a reputation based on their honesty. In the same way, the administrators of darknet markets don’t directly sell illegal drugs and malware, they provide the platform. eBay doesn’t directly sell video game consoles and shoes, they provide a platform for vendors to sell those things. Cybercriminals have simply replicated some of eBay’s mechanics, but for selling illegal products and services rather than things which are lawful to buy. I must emphasize that there is no connection between the eBay corporation and darknet markets. So it’s time for another topic of fascination, the Dread forums.ĭark Web markets are based on the eBay model of online retail. I enjoy doing cyber threat intel research there, I learn more and more everyday. Our readers love learning about the intriguing internet underground of the darknet. Just because arsonists exist, doesn’t mean lighters and matches should be banned. That being said, I strongly support the legality of Tor and I2P technology. These technologies are simply cybersecurity tools which can be used in a multitude of different ways.īut indeed, because of how Tor and I2P obfuscate the IP addresses and MAC addresses people use (and therefore make identifying cybercriminals a lot more difficult), they facilitate crime. Access to encryption and privacy benefits good people doing good things as much as it does bad people doing bad things. Mainstream companies and organizations such as Facebook and the BBC also have a presence on these networks. The darknet is simply a part of the internet which is only accessible through encrypted proxy networks, namely Tor and I2P. Not all activity on the Dark Web or “darknet” is illegal. It’s one of the main types of sites on the Dark Web where people go to buy and sell illegal things. I previously wrote about Dark Web markets.
