New 'Google' For the Dark Web Makes Buying Dope and Guns Easy
First time accepted submitter turkeydance (1266624) writes "The dark web just got a little less dark with the launch of a new search engine that lets you easily find illicit drugs and other contraband online. Grams, which launched last week and is patterned after Google, is accessible only through the Tor anonymizing browser (the address for Grams is: grams7enufi7jmdl.onion) but fills a niche for anyone seeking quick access to sites selling drugs, guns, stolen credit card numbers, counterfeit cash and fake IDs — sites that previously only could be found by users who knew the exact URL for the site."
...it'll let the Feds find them just as easily....
Or does anyone seriously think the NSA can't use this service just as well as Random Internet Idiot?

I remember Archie. And Veronica. And I just got the references after all these years.

what he said. While countermeasures can mediate the risk, you should assume that anything you send out electronically can be intercepted, decrypted and traced back to you. You can take steps to make this extremely difficult (hopefully more difficult than catching you is worth), you can certainly take steps I personally couldn't overcome without too much effort; but beating the intelligence gathering capabilities of one or more governments is at best an uncertain proposition (IMHO).
I really miss the NEAR keyword. Unless you're searching for a specific phrase in quotes, it was the best way to search.
Now the FBI and the Sheriff would be able to set up stings more efficiently.
FBI and the Sheriff? You have no real insight in how law enforcement works here in the US of A, do you?
There are dozens(!) of different police forces, and they seldom cooperate on anything, but try to not step on each others' toes. A sheriff is county police and would not be involved in any international or interstate crime sting. Speeding tickets, serving divorce notices, arresting the busker in front of the strip mall, signing reports of items stolen, sit in cars at local road work - that's the sheriff's department. Investigative work to catch internet facilitated high crime is not going to involve the sheriff.

I still use uucp, by the way. For communicating with faraway sites where the connection depends on a shaky cell phone connection that may or may not be up, it's a pretty good way of moving e-mail and logs.
The real hidden service URL probably just changed.
The site advert'd in the Slashdot article is probably itself a "Sting" operation to tag members of the public for the purpose /real/ search site at some URL we don't know about.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree, that 'dark web' URL in slapped in such plain view.. screams honeypot. Pass.
I take it there's not a whole lot of comments because everybody's on TOR browsing summary address.
Ah, in that case, don't worry.
They'll be back the day after tomorrow, when tor has returned results...
Now there you go again, being overly optimistic.

Ah, you must've found the +1 solameitscool super-secret modification option that people with "6" Karma get to use if the computer throws a 20 on the roll of the dice when it give you mod points.
Sorry you mis-used it, it will be awhile before you get another chance.

Buying guns is perfectly legal. gunbroker.com, budsgunshop.com, walmart.com. Well, to be fair the last one tells you they are instore only, but the others will gladly and legally ship straight to your FFL.
If people think the NSA isn't all over the dark web, they be dummies.
The NSA isn't that concerned with where you buy your pot. They aren't even that concerned with where the local gangbanger buys his guns, or where the local perv sources his kiddie porn.
If you're going to wear the tin foil hat at least direct it at the appropriate three letter agencies: FBI, DEA, ATF, et. al.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
The point of darknets is not to hide the URLs of services, it's to hide the location of the server and the clients connecting to it. Otherwise it would be kinda useless, since to use it you would have to have contact with other users which is risky.

Venezuela has a murder rate of 45.1 per 100,000 post gun-ban. Are you really trying to suggest that their murder rate pre gun-ban was 45,100 per 100,000?
It should also be noted that the current 45.1 per 100K murder rate is ten times the US murder rate (4.5 per 100K)....
