The Deep Web and How It Works

​An online marketplace for illegal goods, the dark web has many innovations from legitimate online sellers like Amazon and eBay.

These features include customer reviews and seller ratings, but have been adopted to facilitate the sales of black market items, such as drugs and stolen goods and illegal services .

• ​Drug-dealers,
• Hackers
• Prostitution
• Hitmen 

Other illegal operatives advertise their services in ways they could not over traditional channels. The dark web attracts users who seek anonymity when conducting business.
