The ability to securely and anonymously host websites is a standard feature of the freely available, open source Tor software.

Tor was originally funded by the EFF and the US Navy. So yes, the authorities most definitely know of its existence.

Thanks for the pointer, I'll have a look at Tor software. But I find it scary the existence of a website offering highly illegal services where only a selected few can access.

What's so scary about it? It's no different than meeting someone in a park, or the basement of a bar, to do the exact same things. Places where "highly illegal" services are offered where only a select few can access have been around for ages. It's just much more convenient to do it on the internet.

Anyone can access it...
