The speaker, Atila, a research biologist, discusses the internet's two main layers: the surface web and the deep web. The surface web, visible to search engines like Google, includes sites like the Android store or the Blonde's home page. Information behind login and password is not accessible through traditional links or search, such as emails or messages. The deep web, on the other hand, is a level deeper, where pages open on Facebook's surface or closed web groups are accessed. However, accessing the deep web does not guarantee privacy.
The speaker then introduces the dark web, a part of the deep web that provides anonymity and privacy. Websites on the dark web are not indexed by Google and don't have a common address to access them. To access them, one needs to connect to a special network, the best known being Tor, a public non-profit organization. Tor uses a program that can even access normal websites anonymously through union routing, adding several layers of encryption.
The speaker also mentions the Silk Road, a famous website on the dark web that transported herbs and other products anonymously. The Silk Road and other hidden services are almost impossible to track, and they use the Tor network to achieve total anonymity.
The speaker then discusses the arrest of Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, in 2013. Ulbricht made a mistake by asking a question on the Stec forum about how to hide Tor services using his real name, even though he changed his nickname a few minutes later. This was enough for the FBI to connect all the facts and arrest Ulbricht, along with his treasure of 3.6 million dollars in bitcoins.
The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of privacy and anonymity on the internet, stating that these technologies are neither good nor bad, but can be used for both good and ill. The speaker also mentions an extra episode every last Wednesday of the month with content brought by him and Paulo Silveira from the student online technology courses.
