Agora Market, an online black market on the dark web.

2. When people think about the Dark Web,
the first thing comes to mind is the Silk
Road marketplace, which is now taken
over by Agora Market.
The platform used to sell illicit drugs
among many other things. In 2013, FBI
arrested its founder Ross William Ulbricht
and shut down the website. He was later
sentenced to life in prison.

4. The Silk Road 2.0 started by former site
administrators in November 2013, but was
soon closed down as part of “Operation
Onymous” and left the field open for Agora.
Even though the Dark Web is a place of
illegal activity and illicit trading, but it is also a
place of safety for those who wants privacy
and for dissidents of tyrannical regimes.

6. What is Dark Web?
The Dark Web is World Wide Web content
that only exists in darknets – networks that
require specific software or authorization
to access.
These darknets are made of small peer
based networks, and large, publicized
networks and marketplaces – some of them
operated by organisations.

7. The Dark Web is a part of Deep Web, a
part of the Internet not indexed by search
engines like Google, Yahoo, etc.
According to estimates, Deep Web is 5000
times bigger than the “standard” Internet
people access every day.

8. You will not find these darknets with Google
searches is because of –
 Non-HTML/Text content
 Intentionally hidden content and can only be
accessed with specific software
 Sites need registrations to log in
 Unlinked content
 Sites has technical limitation to their pages access
 Pages varying for different access in contexts of
client IP addresses

9. What is Agora Market?
Agora Market is an online black market
and operated as Tor hidden service. It was
launched in 2013 and in September 2014,
it surpassed Silk Road to become the
largest online black market site.
Agora was unaffected by Operation
Onymous, a law enforcement operation
that seized several major darknet markets
including the Silk Road 2.0.

11. Agora Market has become the biggest
illicit market on the darknet after the
disappearance of Evolution Marketplace
with all of its users’ funds worth $12 million
in bitcoin at that time.
