The introduction of better tools and sophisticated techniques has assisted law enforcement agencies on the internet.
It is possible to analyze packets and end users with time and effort, but even after repeated attempts to bring down criminal sites on the dark, they have had little luck.
Today it is even harder to track any malicious activities.
But in recent years, few attempts to bring down marketplaces selling illegal goods were successful.
This makes the future of TOR is unpredictable.
Whether it will flourish as a new technology promising more anonymity or will it just be a criminal swamp to eventually taken down by the authorities.
Lately, authorities are attempting to trace more and more e-commerce platforms in the dark net.
If the situation continues and authorities improve, more sellers will be forced to leave TOR networks, but the dark net will be less private.
TOR, as of now has a strong user and has 3 percent of market share.
But, the currently many dark web links are currently unstable.
