Hands-On Dark Web Analysis

Working with the Deep Web

What goes on in the Dark Web? What can you do there?

In Chapter 9, What Goes on in the Dark Web - Case Studies, Chapter 10The Dangers of the Dark Web, and Chapter 11, Using the Dark Web for Your Business, we will discuss case studies and stories of what goes on the Dark Web, and in this chapter, we'll discuss what you can do there. We'll talk about Dark web markets, and digital currency, browsing the Dark Web and more.

In this chapter we will cover the following topics:

  • Maintaining privacy on the Dark Web
  • Transacting on the Dark Web
  • Deep web emails - Onion Mail

Maintaining privacy on the Dark Web

Privacy and anonymity are the underlying reasons for using the Dark Web, but why?

And how?

Privacy and anonymity are necessary for a functioning society. People want to feel safe and not monitored or investigated.

Even with the proliferation of social networks, and the oversharing of personal information there, many people still want to keep their data private, and to keep their personal information to themselves.

The internet provides a way to communicate and share, but as time goes by, its becoming a way for vendors to collect information about us to offer us products which are supposed to be what we want, according to our behavior on the network. It's also way for governments to monitor us, and a way for scam artists and criminals to collect information about us for their malicious intents.

Using the Dark web allows people to communicate...

Transacting on the Dark Web

To buy or sell on Dark Web markets, you need to understand a little about cryptocurrency. You've all probably heard about Bitcoin, which is the most well known one, but there are many others.

There are various ways to obtain Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, like purchasing or mining.

One of the important topics, transacting with cryptocurrency, is to maintain privacy. This is done by obfuscating the origin of bitcoins in a bitcoin wallet and the identity/location of the receiver.

This is usually performed by a 3rd party application/service, where the process can take between minutes to hours. Be careful when you look for one of these services, as there are scams in that market, usually due to the fact that they cost money, and provide vectors for scammers to steal our money.

Fraudulent sites pretend to be obfuscating services (also known as...

Deep web emails - Onion Mail

Onion Mail is another working anonymous email service provider at hidden web.

To create a new Onion Mail account, you need to click on Download option and then you will notice another window with a message To create a new OnionMail account click HERE. For more info about Onion Mail features and services, please visit Tor URL: (http://it.louhlbgyupgktsw7.onion/).

CryptoDog is a private chat server on the Dark Web:

There are also many forums sites on the Dark Web, for example:

  • Anonymous Forum
  • Pedo Support Community
  • Glazy2
  • 8Chan
  • Nnptchan
  • HiddenChan

DeepDotWeb is a blog which covers the latest deep web news and other useful tutorials like how to buy drugs online, PGP tutorials, how to access dark web links, and more:

Wikileaks is the infamous news leak site:

SoylentNews has content regarding multiple topics:

BitStore and Mobile Store sell mobile...

Summary

The Dark Web has many uses. Some of them are benign and some are malevolent.

Part of the goal of this book is to expose you to them, so you will be better prepared and will be able to avoid problems or prevent them.

The important thing to remember is that you just need to be careful, take the precautions I will tell you about, and keep your eyes open.

Hands-On Dark Web Analysis is both well-written and great for anyone who wants to start safely exploring or researching the Dark Web.We all need to begin somewhere and Sion Retzkin brilliantly explains in plain english what the Dark Web is and how to navigate this part of the hidden internet. I am a legal researcher, IT engineer and ex-librarian. This book was perfect for me and answered everything I wanted to know. It is not an exhaustive explanation of the Dark Web but which book is. Never rely on just one book for understanding a concept or topic.The book description lists exactly what is contained in Hands-On Dark Web Analysis. You therefore know before purchasing, what you are getting. I would recommend this book.

This book really appears to have been (badly) written by ChatGPT with some editing. The rambling and stilted style appears like word salad - you just read something, but nothing was really said. Content is mostly chapter titles followed by definitions that could have been pulled from the Internet. I would give it zero stars, except there was some redemption in the 3 chapters about Linux distributions (chapters 6, 7, 8). I consider my money wasted on this book. I bought it in a bundle with John Foresay's The Dark Web Dive, which was actually quite good. I recommend you get that book instead.

As a security enthusiast I was really let down by this book. Reading the description you get the impression you will be learning all the different ways you can safely navigate the Deep Web as well as the Dark Web. But in reality most of it is about installing different operating systems and the author just rambling about the most common known ideas about the Deep Web and Dark Web.

Written when sensationalist tones. Reminded me of the 2001 NBC Dateline talking about “raves” and teenage drug use. Only useful tidbit I got was discovering an ultra obscure & secure version of Linux. Packt is a fantastic publisher, but I don’t know what happened with this one.

This is a seriously crappy book. It actually feels like half a book. After the first chapter the bodies of following chapters end with an ellipses, suggesting more to follow,but there is nothing. Do not choose this book even if it is free.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
