Administrators of the most popular English speaking forum TOR1 have launched a brand new initiative for Darknet criminals. On the 2nd of March they unveiled a brand-new R. Google-like search engine (something like Google) which allows users to look for illegal merchandise from many Darknet Markets at once. Because of this, illicit information will be much more easy to locate for any cybercriminal.

An explanation of the basics for Darknet beginners This is the reason why the Darknet isn't the same as the web. There's no main website like Google or Bing that lets you look up the entire darknet. To access any website, you must to know the specific link or address. There are forums that will guide you through the darknet, but to enter them , you have to be aware they exist in the first place. That's why there have been efforts to design a proper search engine to facilitate the research of illegal activities. Of course it is true that comparing Google to R. the search engine is an enormous reduction. With Google you can search almost the whole Clearnet but with R. search, we are able to explore only darknet market (DNM) with TOR and not even all of them.

Very similar to Google

The concept of a Darknet Market (DNM) search engine that lets you look through the offers of various retailers isn't new. What is unique are the people behind it. The group is comprised of administrators and moderators of „D. forum” the largest discussion forum within the English world market link of TOR it was launched in February of 2018 as a response to the further removal of Darknet related topics on Reddit. D. became one of the main informational hubs on TOR. So whenever you look for opinions about DNM, specific DNM vendors, innovative fraud methods or you just don't know where to purchase something, that forum is the first place most Darknet users look. Also, it is a must for those looking for tutorials about the best ways to avoid fraud the latest services in DNM and the most recent events that are happening on the Darknet or anything that is related with it, whether it's frauds drug use or any other illegal or illegal activity. In this forum, you will find many sections, which contain explicit information about illegal act such as Fraud, Carding, Fraud Resources, Counterfeiting, Dark Markets, Fake ID, Fake Money, LSD, Drug Manufacture, Malware, Hacking and more.

Every big DNM and every type of drug and fraud comes with its own section. Additionally, there are sections for certain nations, currencies, and popular TOR websites. There is no restriction on pedophilia or pro-terrorism. weapons, poisons and other related to them are not allowed. Apart from that, it's full freedom of speech.

The developers of D. Forum are already one of the most influential vendors in the English speaking part of TOR and have the reputation. That's why opening R. search might give them a new position. To emphasize the relationship to the respected forum, R. search demands users to log in to D. Forum to sign-up on R. search. This is even obligatory when you're an DNM vendor who wants to make changes to your profile within R. search. There isn't a specific statement whether the R. the search engine stores information about users searches and their preferences. As we all know Google makes use of search history to track users on the internet. What do you think if it was possible that the D. team can make the same feature, and identify which users are interested in what kinds of illegal activities? There are a variety of tools to get more details about Darknet users who want to stay anonymous.

The design like R. search

R. search appears nice (in comparison with others Darknet website) and is very user-friendly. It is a basic filtering tool such as minimum and maximum prices, shipping country, Darknet Markets. At the time of writing the article R. the search engine indexed 23,7 thousand vendors, 61 thousand listings (that's what we call offers to DNM) and 1,3 million reviews from DNM users. As of now, R. search contains just 6 active DNM plus archive data about DNM that are already gone. The most important thing to consider is how new DNMs are added and who decides on it. D. Forum team is trying to establish a database comprising only the most trustworthy DNM vendors, with no scammers. Of obviously, it's their personal decision as to which DNM are reliable enough to be added to the database and which ones aren't. As a result the importance of the group's position in the Darknet information network becomes more important.

One important aspect is that R. search has in its database archived data from already closed DNMs. There are markets that operate on Darknet fluctuate between high and low, and vendors are often forced to move from one location to another. Their market statistics usually do not appear in the new location and buyers must trust the vendors' claims that they are reliable, trustworthy etc. Because of R. search, consumers can verify the credibility of vendors that were previously in DNMs. R. search is an intriguing type of search engine where you can find vendors by their PGP fingerprint or the Public PGP Key2. Thanks to that, when someone claims to be Mr. X and he had outstanding scores on DNM's that are dead, one can verify if the Mr. X on these dead DNM had the identical PGP Key. PGP Keys are the main way for Darknet users to authenticate themselves.
