Silk Road 2.0 and 400 other sites believed to be selling illegal items including drugs and weapons have been shut down. The sites operated on the Tor network - a part of the internet unreachable via traditional search engines. The joint operation between 16 European countries and the US saw 17 arrests.
Although details of how the sites were identified are not given, it does suggest that software now exists that removes the veil that behind which the DarkNet once hid. Any Soylentils have any ideas of how this might be achieved? This story might be the clue.

Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.

I define an exit node as the last node in the chain to emit a TCP SYN packet. Sites of interest receive large numbers of TCP SYN packets but don't emit a corresponding number.

Tor hidden service connections as far as TCP go are outgoing from both the user and the server. They meet somewhere in the middle of the Tor network. This makes clients and servers pretty similar from a traffic perspective.
