POLICE bust Child Porn website with 87,000 users!

Really, this is top of the website?

Wake me when 'Police' bust website promoting war, race hatred, and bigotry.

Better yet, don't bust the soldiers, go after those in charge of the war making, the funders, the builders and the legislature that allowed it.

Forget the prisons. The methods of Vlad the impaler comes to mind. Those SOB's deserve nothing less.

So, another holocaust then?

I think there are at least some sites that flag and delete underage content reliably, I know of one in particular. It would be a nice thing to search for "teen" and know that all porn stars involved are over 18.

It would also be nice if Google blocked this particular content from their searches (I'm not normally for net censorship) and I believe they do to an extent, but I also believe it is fairly easy to find what you are looking for if you happen to be looking for this kind of stuff.

I've never been on the Dark Net but it sounds even sketchier than the real internet.

You cannot compare people that were wrongfully persecuted (Jews) to deranged predators such as pedophiles.
They do not deserve compassion.

Actually most child molestation cases are done by a family member

And those same family members would also be interested in watching child porn too.
Guess what.. Pretty much every pedo that's been captured has photos, videos, etc. I worked with a detective a lifetime ago whos job was busting pedophiles. You wouldn't believe the pics and videos found in their computers. Absolutely disgusting.

Can I say all viewers of child pornography have committed that crime? No I cannot. However, I'm sure many have. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in that sense.

There's a bit of tech ignorance here. You can't go find the name and location of these users, at least as long as they're not a complete moron.

People don't use any identifying information, everything is fabricated. Server logs would have the IP of a tor router, not the individual. That's the whole point of TOR, to anonymously transfer information. You would need control of the exit node for individual users to get them all, and then you'd have to be looking for specific acts happening.

The only people being busted is the owner, and the few morons who gave identifying information. I can't believe the guy actually used his own server at his physical location? Not bright at all.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but this may coincide with another darknet bust. Silk Roads predecessor Alphabay has been down for 4 days now with many speculations circulating reddit. Exit scam or linked to Canadian raid? Cryptocurrency and the deep web fascinates me: and it has already started to REALLY put the fear into the centralized banking cheats that free society can function without them completely.

If you do not currently invest in some form of cryptocurrency I strongly recommend you start ASAP. Just one BC is worth over 2000 USD now. It's not going anywhere guys and gals.

87,000 people can't be wrong.

Remember, gays and lesbians were persecuted too.

Today, we praise gays and lesbians, and Prime Ministers march with them on pride day.

Waiting to see the leaders of nations march with these wonderful people called pedo-philiacs and hold them up as pillars of the society.

Not even the darknet want to deal with these people. They'll blacklist anyone who tries to put up links to these sites. Then the only way to put up a website like that would be to have a server at home, and have the details passed on by mouth-to-mouth reference.

Good news! Better if they can track down all involved scum, and rescue the children involved.

Only good solution for that sort is the death penalty.

So start killing them. Do it publicly, in the street, see where that lands you...

With TOR, doesn't the person who controls the nodes control the data or something like that? I use it every day, but can't for the life of me remember.

Rev

I think only the first node knows the user's IP address, and only the last node knows what site the user is looking at, but there are ways to find more about the users.

Someone running an exit node can see the unencrypted data, like user names.

Theres a conspiracy that Tor has a backdoor used by the CIA. Probably just a rumour to prevent people diving in to something thats unpolicable... who knows whats true?

The FBI did take down a network that was operating through Tor. They got the webpage to send some JavaScript to the remote web browser, snarf the IP address and send it back to the network server.

Again this is tech ignorance. You can host TOR from just about anywhere. It may be against a hosting policy, but they're not likely to find you out. I trust people can understand as soon as something goes mainstream it's no longer edgy. The darknet is just the tip of the iceberg.

Practically every TOR browser warns against scripts and has buttons to easily disable JavaScript on sites.

a reply to: Kalixi

Don't know about good news considering the implication that 87,000 paedophiles have been doing the rounds and essentially operating with impunity via this type of nefarious website, and others, for quite sometime.

Fact of the matter is that unless the 87,000 beasts that used the site are tracked down and prosecuted to the full extent of the law then they will still be out there and a significant treat to our children.

And that will simply never happen.

Looks like they put some hyperlinks into the video player script that redirected to a non-TOR file transfer:

www.theregister.co.uk...

www.nbcnews.com...

There are many ways of getting people's IP addresses, if they are not careful, that's one of the reasons producers are harder to catch, as they are more careful.

Once law enforcement agencies get control of a server everything is easier, like in those cases.

From what I could find, in this case the server operator did not collaborate with the police, so they couldn't keep on using the server to get more information about the users.



Good news, it looks like they got some of the abusers and at least one of the producers.

The main suspect, a 39-year-old German national, was identified and arrested after several months of painstaking investigation. He is suspected of operating the platform, providing the technical infrastructure for it to operate.

Another arrestee, a 61-year-old individual from Bavaria, is suspected of the production and dissemination of child abuse material. In addition, he is suspected of the sexual abuse of two children aged 5 and 7 years. The victims are the children of an Austrian forum member.

An additional arrestee, a 56-year-old individual from Baden-Württemberg, was arrested under the suspicion of being the moderator of the forums of the platform and the chat groups.

In Austria, a 28 year-old individual was arrested. He is suspected of having participated in the dissemination of child abuse material, of having severely sexually abused his two children for years and facilitated the sexual abuse of his children by the above suspects.

Further arrests are to be expected shortly in Germany, as well as in other European and non-European countries. To date, a total of 14 suspects have been arrested, among which 12 are suspected of having actively taken part in the abuse of children.

It's 2017. Normal, educated people who aren't retarded stopped comparing gay people to child molesters decades ago. Your ignorance stinks or does it hide some repressed feelings?

That's not correct. This is the TOR network. It just doesn't work like that. The only care you need is to not give out your private information, and disable scripts. Nothing more sophisticated is necessary. 14 out of 89,000 shows you how little effort is needed here.
