When the big markets collapsed, Dream Market was a popular alternative

When both AlphaBay and Hansa collapsed, Dream Market became the market leader. But now, some Reddit users on the thread r / Deam_Market have expressed concern about this website since 2013.

Real IP Highway on Dream Market

Another Reddit user said he had discovered an unencrypted IP address on the source code of the Dream Market, that police could take control of the market and are now monitoring visitors.

Detecting unencrypted IP on Dream Market

After a bit of research, the author found the IP address 194.9.94.82 mentioned in the JavaScript file (lchudifyeqm4ldjj.onion/market.js) of Loopia AB, a Swedish hosting company. This file is not newly added or edited, it has been there for at least 9 months and does not show signs of hijack or interference.

However, one problem is that the real IP address of the server is exposed, although it must be hidden behind the Tor Onion Router, which is one of the biggest mistakes made by the Dream Market operator because it provides the opportunity for contestants. The law ambushes the hosting company and takes control of the server.

Although it is not certain that Dream Market is completely under police control, it is possible that market participants are manipulated. Many other Reddit users also encourage and call people to calm down. Thanks to the lowering of competitors, Dream Market currently has 57,000 drug lists and 4,000 drug lists.
