Russian President Putin has been strengthening wartime control and shiring information networks.The last hope for gaining the right information is the dark web, which has been considered dangerous as a hotbed of crime.[Video] Putin "Parkinson's Theory" re -floated Russian telecommunications regulation authorities, Roscom Nazol, blocked access to national news sites in Europe and the United States on March 4.As a result, the BBC, Voice of America, and German Deutsche Velere, etc. from Russia have made it impossible to view them.In addition, Roscom Nazol has blocked access to Facebook and Twitter by the 7th.From the 14th, access to Instagram will be blocked.These SNS have been delivering the Russian people with no bias, such as suppressing fake news by Russian state -owned media and transmitting a vivid battle situation in Ukraine in videos.There are concerns about the expansion of the government's propaganda due to a series of access blocking.There is a TOR, a kind of dark web, which has been called a hotbed of crime and has been considered dangerous.The dark web is excellent in the protection of users, but on the other hand, legal and illegal sites are mixed, from unauthorized distribution of copyright content to business negotiations for personal trading.The dark web, which has been regarded as a dark internet space, is now becoming a last resort for Russian people to get true information.■ If you describe the encryption dark web with a triple onion structure, it is a network that can hardly track who accessed which site.By driving a dedicated URL into a dedicated browser, it is accessed to the TOR -only site operated by each company and individual.If it is a normal net (called a "clear net" for a dark web), even if the communication content is protected by encryption, it cannot hide which site is communicating.。As a result, Russian providers (internet connection companies), who were instructed by Putin, can detect and block communication to specific services such as BBC and Twitter.With information restrictions, Russia has been spreading through TOR, a type of dark web.TOR is an abbreviation of "The Onion Router", named because it encrypts the destination address in multiple layers like onions.Through TOR, the address of the communication site is encrypted in triple.Later, every time you go through a volunteer intermediate server participating in the TOR network, you will be unlocked one by one, as if you peel the onion.As a provider, it is possible to know the first intermediate server address to pass communication.However, it is encrypted and cannot be deciphered to which sites you want to access to which site you want to access.For this reason, access cannot be blocked for each destination.Major SNS and news companies have evaluated these characteristics and have decided to open a dedicated site.In addition to Facebook, which had completed TOR in 2014, BBC, British Guardian, and Twitter, etc. have recently opened TOR -compatible sites, supporting access from Russia.■ TOR's weaknesses aimed at regulatory authorities, but Russian regulatory authorities are also unprecedented.Last December, he blocked the entire communication to the TOR network.Normally, TOR goes through three intermediate servers, but the address of the first server group, which is the entrance, has been released.Otherwise, the user would not be able to use it, but this was the weakness of TOR.The regulatory authorities referred to the list of the entrance server and gradually blocked access.However, the TOR side does not succumb.To date, the TOR project has developed a technology called TOR bridge that publishes available entrance servers each time, and has avoided the list of lists.It is now recommended to use software such as SnowFlake to make the government more difficult.This provides countless new entrances instead of the already censorship list server.When a Russian user installs Snowflake, communication is sent to volunteer cooperative users who also install SnowFlake overseas, functioning as an entrance to the TOR.It is provided as a general browser plug -in (functional expansion) and is easy to install.The Russian government would like to add all overseas users to cooperate with the TOR bridge to the ban list.However, there are about 25,000 cooperative users, and users who operate software at that point fluctuate every moment.Since the IP address also changes, it is virtually impossible to block the omission.Deutsche Vele stated that "those who think that Russians who are looking for information do not have the knowledge of turning this obstacle (access blocking) are wrong."ing.■ Against the regulations of the authorities and the Itachi pretends of the TOR project continue one after another.Authorities have blocked the access to the project website to make the TOR itself and to obtain software.The TOR side is preparing a mirror site (another site that provides the same content).The TOR user in Russia is ranked second in the world, with more than 300,000 users per day.According to the project, "This situation quickly develops into a blockage of TOR throughout the country, so it is our urgent opposition to this censorship."are doing.Dark webs such as Tor have been useful as a means of privacy protection due to their high confidentiality.At the same time, due to the nature of almost impossible to pursue identity, it is also used as a place to replace illegal information without pursuit of investigative agencies.Dark Web, which has attracted only a small number of users, seems to be becoming a Russian general user's hope as a means of opposition to the government trying to hide information.
