Now in this article, I’ll tell you the top 5 things you can find on the dark web. The dark web is popular for dark scary illegal things such as illegal guns, stolen credit cards, black hat hackers, killers, cannibals, and even weapons of mass destruction.

However most of these stories are not true, so let’s dive into the top five things you could possibly encounter on the dark web.

Legal and Illegal Drugs

Drugs are one of the most rampant things you can find on the dark web. They make up a good portion of the dark web services. You can find drugs like marijuana, cocaine, edibles, meth, MDMA, LSD, other pills, the list goes on. Above all, the scary thing is that these drugs are relatively easy to find and several websites that offer these services.

There are also dark web marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, etc but for drugs. Therefore they offer a platform for drug sellers to offer their products to buyers. So Marketplaces are generally more popular because there are tons of sellers and products to choose from. Most markets offer rating systems so it’s more credible. Also, other buyer’s reviews reduce the chances of getting scammed or receiving bad products.

The drugs are easy to conceal and ship to buyers. But caution should be exercised as the seller is anonymous, so it’s easy to get scammed, or worst, you could receive a dangerous product. Be warned, before embarking on a drug shopping spree you should know that there are a lot of scammers who are there to rip people off their money. So they pose as drug sellers and some people do fall for these scams.

Sadly, government agencies could also set up fake websites that sell drugs. Why you may ask, they do it to catch people who purchase drugs through the platform, such websites are called honey pots. Making a purchase on one of such websites means certain jail time.

Weapons

You can prepare for an assault robbery with the weapons you can find on the dark web. Guns, ammunition, grenades, military gadgets, and even weapons of mass destruction are available on the dark web. The dark web provides anonymity for the sellers of weapons as they can carry out their trade in the shadows. They trade arms and make payments through cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin or other altcoins.

You can discover several stories of people who have purchased guns through the dark web, there are also several movies about it. Sadly, most of the stories end in tears. Items such as guns, ammunition, etc carry way too much heat even for the dark web. Therefore most marketplaces ban or restrict the sale of weapons on their platforms.

In other words, the heat these weapons bring makes it risky for marketplaces to trade. However, some individual websites trade weapons but from my research most are scams, they rip you off and disappear. I might add that it’s better than someone losing a life.

There are some popular websites that claim to have nukes, nuclear bombs, and even anti-matter bombs. I wonder if anyone has come across such websites.

In conclusion, weapons can be bought on the dark web but you have more chances of getting scammed. However, weapons are items you want to stay away from. I mean even marketplaces avoid it, it brings way too much heat.

Hackers

Hiring a hacker or a group of hackers is a common find on the dark web. You can find hackers offering services to the general public usually at a ranged price. These hackers provide several cyber services such as hacking social accounts, school records, attacking other websites, or cyber-attacks on a person or organization. These hackers usually have years of experience. In other words, they know what they are doing.

Hackers can form groups and work together towards the same aim. A hacker group “Anonymous” almost routinely breaks into protected systems. Anonymous is known for breaking into websites through distributed denial of service attacks or for revealing personal information.

In conclusion, it is possible to find genuine hackers for hire but there is also a chance your money will walk away from you forever.

There are even more advanced bots that can connect to a server and act as a control center for a number of other bots. This network is a Botnet. 

In addition, Malware Bots are difficult to detect so caution is advised because you can get infected and won’t even know it.
