Dark Web: Sex, drogy a bitcoiny – Stroukal Dominik (2020)

The Dark Web is a mysterious and myth-laden place on the internet where you can buy all sorts of illegal things for virtual money. People send drugs and forged documents through the mail, purchase stolen credit cards, and watch pornography that is on the edge of legality. However, the Dark Web also has its bright sides. Journalists from the BBC, The Guardian, and even Facebook use it to share information that needs to remain confidential. But don't imagine inaccessible parts of the depths of the internet — you can access the Dark Web with just a few clicks of the mouse. There are many tales about what goes on there. Can you easily and anonymously buy a weapon? Or even hire a hitman? Or even pay to watch a murder live? This book is a guide to the dark side of the internet from its beginnings to its future. It shows how the rules work among people who want to trade but never reveal their identity. Why do they not steal from each other under the cloak of anonymity, and what happens when they do? Why are governments successful in catching the creators of illegal marketplaces, and how do these marketplaces defend themselves? What is fact on the Dark Web, and what is myth?
