The dark world of Internet , oblivious to conventional search engines, hide selling drugs, pornography, organ trafficking or smuggling of weapons , has ceased to be an impenetrable wall Spain. For the first time, the Civil Guard has succeeded in taking this “deep internet” illegal page.
A “very important” step Efe highlight military institution researchers, in collaboration with European and US police forces have culminated this week operation Onymous , one of the world’s largest market research undeclared moving in the “parallel” network.
At sixteen arrested in US, UK, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland and Ireland, adds a person arrested in Spain, in Barcelona . A citizen in his thirties and Argentine origin, a self-taught but with advanced computer skills, was mounted on this side ‘B’ of the network with which a page ripping other users with purchase of counterfeit euro bills.
Like many of those created in the “deep web” was not easy to access the page of the detainee. For who searches Google wants to buy a liver, buy cocaine or counterfeits, selling personal and banking data, providing a powerful computer virus, exchanging child pornography and even hire a hit man?
A complete black market that has found a powerful ally in internet through TOR (The Onion Router) network, created by the US, though, to establish secure communications between military and whose Anonymity is taking the crime.
Ramon Gonzalez Gallego, Group Captain Telematic Crime Central Operations Unit (CCU) of the Civil Guard told Efe that TOR is identifies an onion because the user goes deeper into encrypted layers to make it very difficult locating servers that host user forums and pages of ads of any kind.
The Lower Depths of the TOR network, Gonzalez warns currently home to the “core crimes such as child pornography has been moving in P2P programs file sharing and private forums to find the” underground “of the onion a perfect partner for evade police tracking.
But that impunity is slowly breaking. Security forces are making inroads as Onymous operations coordinated with Europol, Eurojust and the US Department of Justice ., With which he has dealt in seven countries hit hard these website.
Overall, 410 domains evicted , including popular ones such as ‘Silk Road 2.0′, with more than 1 50,000 users and dedicated to the sale of drug has been dismantled by the FBI.
Not as important -the detention arrested in Spain continues to be a con man played the guy trying to scam other criminals more dangerous than he, the captain of the UCO itself adds value to the research carried out for months have been revealed where he hosted server and remove the page.
A detailed work, as the only way to reach the web server that -alojada a home of a relative of a detainee who was unaware of the fact-find the key file that allowed the management of this website.
Gonzalez revealed that the arrested using TrueCrypt, a simple computer application used to encrypt data that users deems reserved, ie, a kind of small hard disk to hide files.
Civil Guard found that the prisoner had hidden in a music file key to managing this website, which supposedly was offering counterfeit notes 10, 20 and 50 euros in exchange for Bitcoin, virtual currency.
His business was false -the most offered in the “deep web” no- but being in the TOR network gave credibility to your prospects, says Gonzalez, who makes clear that the arrested without being the biggest offender moves in parallel internet, it did have many computer skills.
He had gotten even decrypt the encrypted tickets Barcelona Metro. “For all practical purposes savings that could be was trivial but being able to breach computer security to access the subway is not negligible, “says Gonzalez and watching other objectives
and issues a warning.” Ojo who is in TOR and crimes committed. There is unpunished. “
