Jiang Tian continued: "As far as I know, the concept of the dark web was proposed by American military scientists in the nineties of the last century. Three scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory wrote a paper titled "Hidden Path Information" that proposed a new system that would allow users to connect to the Internet without revealing their identities to servers. They call it 'onion routing' because the passwords to protect data are layered like an onion. Later, this idea began to be implemented in earnest. This is the precursor to the 'dark web'. ”

"In the early days of the Internet, users could use pseudonyms to create an 'alter self' on the Internet, which had nothing to do with their real identity in life," Fang said. However, with the development of the Internet, some dating sites have begun to rise on a large scale, and the online identities of netizens are increasingly overlapping with their real identities. Nowadays, no matter what we post on the Internet, we are constantly revealing our information: IP addresses, web browsing traces, etc. But none of this happens on the 'dark web'.

"On the 'dark web,' any illegal crime is invisible: the military and intelligence agencies can communicate secretly, certain countries can have secret contacts with spies they cultivate, drugs, arms dealing, smuggling, organ trafficking, human trafficking, killers, hackers, cults, terrorist organizations, financial crimes, money laundering, and so on."

"I know one more thing." "There's a black-market site called SilkRoad that sells all kinds of drugs, guns and contraband, and the whole site is traded in Bitcoin," Fang said. And this website is really like a regular shopping website, with buyer and seller evaluation, after-sales guarantee and other functions. It has been seized several times, but it has been resurrected again and again, and it has been banned repeatedly. ”

After hearing this, Xu Ang lost his mind for a long time before he looked at Jiang Tian and Fang Jinyu with the eyes of a monster, and said with a smile: "Are you two still human?" How do you know everything? ”

Jiang Tian and Fang Jinyu glanced at each other, pursed their lips, and looked at Xu Ang with slightly contemptuous eyes at the same time.

"Ahem." Xu Ang coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then said, "Forget it, OK, then we have two directions of investigation now." The first is to investigate the people who have recently come to Ningzhen or left Ningzhen, especially those who are fresh, because judging from the current four homicides, it is more likely that outsiders will commit crimes. Second, find a group of cyber experts to re-examine the phones and computers of the four deceased people to see if there are any missing or unfound traces of access that have even been deleted. ”

Fang Jinyu's face was a little worried.

"If all this is true. The four people, the cleaner, the housewife, the deputy mayor and the students, cover so widely, has the hand of the 'dark web' been stretched so long and so deep? ”

H City, a long-term private room in a hotel.

A man in his mid-thirties walked anxiously around the room.

He was holding a satellite phone in his hand and was talking to the other party fiercely:

"What to do? Recently, there have been a lot of strange IPs, although they have been disguised, but I checked, it is those people from the Red Alliance. They don't come for no reason, we must be targeted by the police. ”

"Don't worry." The other party said unhurriedly, "It doesn't have to be the police, they may just be watching the excitement, don't worry." ”

"That'...... What if it's really the police? ”

"Then shut down the website and delete all the records."

"But, I ...... I'm not reconciled! The man gritted his teeth and said, "After so many years, I have been preparing for so many years, and now finally, it has finally come true!" I can finally start destroying them slowly, but now, all these efforts may be in vain at any time, and I am not reconciled! ”

"Hmph, who can blame that?" The voice on the phone was also a little annoyed, "It's just that you are in a hurry for quick success, and your hand is stretched too long!" ”

"I ......"

"You must know that our original purpose was to use the 'dark web' to slowly disintegrate this country, corrupt this country, and spread our ideas. Wait until you have a certain number of people, and then rise up to subvert the country! But now? What did you turn it into? Human trafficking, drug dealing, and even some kind of killing game, do you want to turn this sacred place into another 'Silk Road'? ”

When the man heard this, he slammed the phone to the ground, and the phone was torn apart.

With a maniacal smile on his face, the man shouted hysterically:

"I'm not going to be your puppet, never! I will destroy in my own way! ”

L City.

"You're saying that such a huge network of human trafficking is organized through such a website?" Shensen looked at the website called 'ShadowWeb' on his computer, and he was shocked by what it said.

"It's not just human trafficking." Lao Chen said with a worried face, "There is also a drug trading area and a killing game area above." There is also the most serious one, there is a section on it that advocates opposition to our country, which is full of obscure and sensitive content, and there are about 20,000 netizens who follow this section. ”

"If this website continues to exist, I don't know how many people will be poisoned!" Shen Sen said hatefully.

"Originally, this website was only accessible through a specific browser called 'shadow', but just now, something very terrible happened."

"What's the matter?"

"A few minutes ago, this website opened up access to all search engines. At the same time, the Great Firewall of our country was paralyzed for a few seconds by a powerful attack by an unknown foreign cyber force half an hour ago. In just a few seconds, any internet-connected device, whether it's a PC or a mobile phone, will receive a push email with a link to the 'ShadowWeb' web page. If you click on the link, you will be taken directly to 'ShadowWeb'. The state immediately took measures, but, alas, it was a step too late. ”

"Oh my God, isn't that, it's over?" Shen Sen's eyes revealed despair, "Can you know?" How many people are there? How many people have visited this site? ”

"Conservative estimates, about a few hundred thousand."

"So, what to do? If people are instigated, will things get bigger and bigger? ”

"Let's wait and see what happens later." Lao Chen said helplessly.

H City.

"Officer Wang, we still haven't helped." The detachment leader was ashamed, "If we had reported to the higher authorities earlier, the country would definitely have taken precautions, and it would not have been taken advantage of by those villains." Now, what if people are affected by the content and make a fuss and become out of control? ”

Wang Tao looked at the topic on Weibo that was slowly detonated, and his expression was calm.

"We, should believe in our people!"

City of T.

A teacher from Ningzhong walked into the Ningzhen police station tremblingly.

"Hello Mr. Wang, is there anything wrong with you?" A policeman recognized him and asked respectfully.

Mr. Wang has been teaching in Ningzhong for more than 30 years, and he is very respected and respected.

Long.

"I'm turning myself in." After Mr. Wang said this sentence slowly, his expression became relieved, as if he had finally untied the knot in his heart that had been entangled with him for a long time.

"Huh? What do you say? Surrender? The police couldn't believe their ears and thought they had heard it wrong.

"Yes, turn yourself in." Teacher Wang shed tears, "Lin Xiao, I killed you." I was wrong. ”
