[00:02] scroll through our Instagram feed, watch funny videos on YouTube, order pizza in two clicks, and it seems to us that this is what the entire digital world looks like. But this is not even the tip of the iceberg. It's just a thin film on the surface of a bottomless [00:17] digital ocean. You've 100% heard a bunch of fakes about the Darknet, movies on the Internet, in posts. We're constantly being fed stories of genius hackers who tap on their keyboards and see green numbers running across their screens. And then, a second later, [00:33] they hack into the Pentagon and buy illegal drugs. This is all nonsense. What they sell you in old videos about onion browsers and all sorts of hidden networks from the 2000s is no longer relevant. These are literally fairy tales for [00:47] schoolchildren. Today I'll take you on a completely new route. We will dive into what is now called the subnet or deep web 2.0. This, by the way, is not an instruction manual . In no case. This is more of a tough tour of an area that is [01:02] best avoided. I'll show you a map of the area that you might want to explore later, but you won't be able to. We'll talk about how the new shadow economy really works, who lives there, and what kind of people are ruining their [01:16] lives simply by clicking the wrong link. In short, the first and most important rule of the subnet: you never, ever talk about what you do there. The second rule: delete all your browsers with the onion icon, that is, the current ones. [01:32] Seriously, if you think it's easy enough to download an old program, click connect and become invisible these days, I have some really bad news for you. The corporation's special services and algorithms have long been clicking away at anonymous [01:46] anonymous people like sunflower seeds. Your regular ISP immediately notices this suspicious traffic, and you immediately fall into the red zone of attention. Nowadays, real shady businessmen are using completely different technologies. If you have [02:00] n't heard of decentralized mesh networks, then forget about server routing. The so- called phantom node system is currently used. Let me explain to you more simply, using my fingers, what it is. Your data is broken [02:15] into 1,000 micropackets, each of which is disguised as ordinary background internet noise. For example, watching a series on Netflix or listening to music. These packets then fly through the smartphones and routers of [02:29] random people all over the world. And subsequently, it is almost impossible to collect this traffic into one heap. But there is a huge, simply gigantic downside here. This is speed. If you complain that something takes a long time to load with a virus, [02:45] then you're just going crazy. Loading a single text page can take minutes. If you want to see the picture in high quality, [ __ ], I beg you, just forget about it. On top of this, there are no videos or anything [02:59] like that. Text and basic graphics are literally all you can use. And Google won't help you get there. You can't write to Google right now to download a browser for the subnet. You need a special software [03:14] called Nexus. But even if you find it and install it, you'll just see a blank screen. Without proper entry points, so-called anchors. This program is absolutely useless. And regular VPN services, for which you [03:27] pay by subscription, are some kind of joke in the world of anonymity. If anything happens, they will ask you at the first request. People there use chains of disposable servers purchased with fake crypto wallets. Now listen [03:41] carefully. The websites there look completely different from what we are used to. None there, tru. It's just a random set of characters that end in characters that end in domain. Tosadow. There [03:56] is no point in remembering them or copying them. They can only be found through closed aggregators on Telegram or on specialized hidden forums. And this is where the specialized hidden forums. And this is where the fun begins. Two [04:08] basic safety rules. First, there are no intersections whatsoever with your real life. No usual nicknames that you use every day. If you sign up as 99 everywhere, then forget this nickname. No [04:24] photos, no birthdays, even your favorite emojis or writing style can give you away. This is called a digital footprint. Never reveal even the [04:36] slightest details about yourself. In 2026, investigators and algorithms work in such a way that they match your patterns and subsequently find you easily. The second rule is to remain silent. The less you write, the less likely you are to blurt out [04:52] something unnecessary. Regular browsers like Safari or Chrome are, first and foremost, your enemies. They are literally designed to collect information from you. There is your every click, your every movement, and so on. They sell you to [05:07] advertisers every day. And on the subnet, if you leave a trace, then not only the police, but also worse guys can follow it. Let's say you've set everything up and you're able to log in. Your first stop is the Abyss Catalog. It's like a [05:24] local Wikipedia, only for the black market. It all looks like a super old, terrible website from the early nineties. Just text and blue hyperlinks. There is no design, nothing here, but this is a real vat portal. There are [05:40] sections there that, well, I personally don't want to go into, even just reading the title. Above are shadowy mixers for laundering funds, markets for stolen databases, forums for black hat hackers who rent themselves out, closed platforms for [05:54] selling corporate secrets and zero-day vulnerabilities, and so on. This is just the tip of the iceberg. But there's a huge catch here. In each category, half of the links are simply fake. Scams are literally everywhere these days. And to avoid [06:09] getting scammed, be sure to subscribe to our Telegram channel. There is already a post there about safe work on the Internet, with a guarantee and all the necessary proof. The first link is in the description; the post will be pinned or under the [06:22] Navigator hashtag. Let's get back to the topic. Regarding scammers, they use such links to create one-to-one copies of popular shadow sites. You go to a trusted forum, sign up, deposit crypto into [06:36] your wallet to buy something, and that's it . You get kicked out, blocked, and so on. And your money flies into your pocket with the camera forever. And the problem here is that you can’t complain to anyone. You won't go and [06:50] file a police report that you were scammed while trying to buy a credit database and the golden rule of the subnet. Don't trust anyone, anyone at all. Until you've checked the link three times through different independent sources, there's no point in [07:04] doing anything there. The most popular forum in this ecosystem today is called Bazaar X. It's a gigantic shadow empire. Tax evasion schemes, sale of blank documents, turnkey false identities. You can literally [07:19] order a complete virtual life for yourself. They'll create a social media history for you, diplomas, bank statements, and on paper you'll be the perfect citizen of another country. They trade corporate secrets there, as I said earlier, they leak [07:34] clinic databases and a whole bunch of other stuff . This X bazaar also has its own shadowy history. Initially, the forum appeared in a closed format for a small group of cybercriminals. The creator, nicknamed Prizrak, has established strict rules: [07:49] no deals with newcomers, access is granted only by guarantee. But then, as usual, everything went wrong. A couple of years ago, one of the admins cheated all the users. He simply stole about 10,000 Monero from the main wallet. By [08:04] the way, this is now about 4 million dollars. The man simply vanished into thin air, erased all logs and disappeared. The forum crashed, logically, because it all looked like exitc. Then it was bought by some unknown person, and they even say [08:19] that they invested a lot of money to restore their reputation, and even returned part of the money to users who were cheated on various forums. And these are not exceptions and have their own local legends. Let's take an example. The first guy is a guy [08:33] named Doctor Synth. This is a biohacker chemist. And no, he doesn't sell meth. He sells formulas for neurotropics and stimulants that are not detected by any tests, and develops schemes to circumvent doping control. Or there's a guy called a [08:49] sharkist. This is the best network breaker. Or information is leaking that he was ordered to obtain the minister's phone billing, medical history, and so on. Do you understand how scary this information is for the top officials of the states? On these [09:05] forums, everyone seems to be very polite. There are even sections for beginners, tinkering, cybersecurity topics, and hardware tips. But if you dig deeper, you fall into real [ __ ]. In closed threads, they discuss the best ways to [09:20] blackmail the company's top managers. They share schemes for cashing out funds through shell companies and charitable foundations. And the wildest thing is that many of these schemes later surface in real life in the news. A separate [09:35] topic is financial boards. These are specialized forums where cash-out operators hang out. There you can find people who will convert your dirty crypto into clean cash somewhere in Dubai or Istanbul for a percentage. There they buy and [09:49] sell bank accounts registered to homeless people and students. And these, let's say, financial forums have rules. There, the guards are forbidden to abandon their own, that is, the permanent residents of the forum. If the administration [10:03] suspects you of scamming, you will not only be banned, but first of all, you will be doxxed. That is, they will leak all your real data, addresses, names of relatives into the public domain. and then either the police or those you screwed over will get to you. At the same time, [10:18] stealing money from the credit cards of ordinary workers is considered absolutely normal there. But this is such a perverted morality. And here we come to the most terrible thing: how people ruin their lives. There are always vacancies posted on these forums. [10:33] Recruiters are looking for meat every day. They need drops, couriers, company registrars. It all sounds simply fabulous in the ads . An employee is required to work with documents. Flexible schedule, salary from 5,000 dollars per week and [10:49] complete security. Remember once and for all: you are nobody to these people. You are not employees, you are not colleagues, you are not business partners, you are expendable material, you are a gasket between them and the prison. They buy your freedom [11:05] for literally pennies. Tomorrow another equally naive fool will take your place, who believed in easy money. Large companies generally don't hire people through advertisements. They have their own, tested over the years by people whom [11:17] they do not change or change based on connections. All these open positions on Telegram or on boards are either a scam, a cop setup, or a recruitment drive for the dirtiest cannon fodder who will be turned in at the first sign of trouble. You [11:31] ask me: "Is it possible to just come in and read?" Well, like, out of curiosity, just to take a quick look at this action and so on. In 2026, even the very concept of anonymity is an illusion for the poor. As soon as you launch [11:46] their Nexus and get into the MSnetwork, you already put a cross on yourself in the analytics databases. If you just read and don't make any purchases, the likelihood of someone breaking down your door tomorrow is, of course, minimal, but you'll just be adding to [12:00] the statistics of strange traffic. And if you try to buy something there, believe me, one browser and a virtual machine won’t be enough. You will be tracked by your payment method, the cryptocurrency's path, typos in your address, and so on. For most [12:15] people, the Subnet is pure evil. A concentrate of everything that is most vile concentrate of everything that is most vile in people. And this is 95% true. This world has thrown out thieves, spies and paranoids. But we are still here for objectivity. I have to [12:29] talk about the other side. There is a small segment of people for whom these closed networks are the only way to survive. And I'm talking now about independent journalists in totalitarian countries, about political activists [12:43] who can get themselves 20 years in prison for a post on a social network . About whistleblowers who leak information about corruption in governments and mega-corporations. For them, these complicated routes and encryption are [12:56] not a toy or a way to buy drugs. It is the shield that saves their lives. Initially, all these anonymization technologies were created specifically for the sake of freedom of speech and privacy protection, and not for schoolchildren to buy [13:10] stolen accounts. SabNT is just a tool, say, like a knife. You can cut bread with it, or you can kill a person with it. In general, now you understand what is hidden behind these beautiful tales about mommy's hackers. It is a cruel, [13:24] unprincipled world of paranoia and greed. This video is created for educational purposes only, so you can understand how the modern digital world works and avoid getting into things you shouldn't. Any attempt to repeat or find what I talked about [13:39] is a game of Russian roulette with your freedom. These days, surveillance systems are so good that even the fact that you watched this video to the end has already ended up in some database for analysis on [13:52] your behalf. I've only told you a small part of what's going on there. We have n't even touched on the topic of Zero Day auctions, vulnerabilities, and neural network wars that are taking place in the shadow market.
