Darknet Content can be accessed only through special
anonymizing software called TOR.
TOR Stands for The Onion Routing, it protects the user from
being traced, as the name suggests it has layers of bouncing

referred to as Chorbazar of Internet, and its market is so big
that Amazon and Alibaba Together will appear a Dwarf if
compared.

11. How IT works ?

12. Currency of the Deep Web
Bitcoins an electronic cash system using peer-to-peer
networking, digital signatures and cryptographic proof to enable
irreversible payments between parties without relying on trust.
Payments are issued and transferred by the Bitcoin network.
Participants begin using Bitcoin by first acquiring a Bitcoin wallet and
one or more Bitcoin addresses. Bitcoin addresses are used for receiving
Bitcoins, similar to how e-mail addresses are used for receiving e-mail.
In April 2014, 1 BTC traded at around $4.80 (288 INR). Taking into
account the total number of Bitcoins in circulation, the market
capitalization of the Bitcoin network stands at over 40 million USD (2400
INR)

13. Top Threats posesSed by DarkNet

Threat #2: Drugs are available in plenty
It is estimated that over 50 percent of the darknet
markets that function using Tor offer narcotics for sale.
These are easily accessible and are sure to incite
interest among the ones that are ready to enter the
world of drugs and cybercrime.
Threat #3: No legislature in place for use of hidden

14. Threat #4: Cybercrime-Child Pornography
Though it is a fact that the financially and politiccally
motivated often are involved in blackmailing,their
actions are more challenging and they are harder to
control. And since there is no boundation or limitation
and certainly its impossible to impose censorship on
contents on web, hence the major source of
childpornography on the darkweb is the one of the
biggest problem that government all over the six
Continents are concerned about.
Threat #5: Seamless terrorism and
cybercrime
The spread of cybercrime is inevitable and is, of course,
hastened by the facilities provided by hidden services.
