Arms trade is a serious problem in the modern world, especially when conducted through the internet. Huge profits derived from this type of transaction and the ever‑growing demand for unofficial access to the means of inflicting death make this practice still valid. The international community is constantly taking new steps to limit this phenomenon, but in many cases, these are ineffective. The reasons lie on the one hand in the idea of the Internet itself, which in essence is not subject to control, and on the other, in the fact that people with weapons on offer make every effort to keep their activities hidden. In the internet itself, methods for additional concealment of activity,have been developed; namely Darknet. Therefore, all illegal transactions are carried out via dark websites.
