So what is the Dark Web? Well, the dark web is “the portion of the Internet that is not indexed by search engines, but which can be accessed through special software.”
There are several reasons why people search the Dark Web. One reason is to hide their identity or to hide what they do. Another reason is for cyber crime or people looking to illegally distribute stolen goods. One of the big websites providing access to the Dark Web is The Deep Web.
The Deep Web is accessed like a normal website. There are search engines on The Deep Web and you can use Google. However, accessing the dark web from The Deep Web requires special software. The Deep Web is made up of several networks known as Onion Routers. Onion Routers are a network of computers which onion routing, effectively making a path over several networks so that no one can trace where the traffic is going.
So, what would someone find if they were to use the dark web? Well, for one thing, there are websites which allow you to buy things that are not readily available via normal search engines. This said, there’s plenty of normal sites on the dark web as well, such as Facebook, BBC, and even the FBI.
When it comes to dark web commercial sites, where you can purchase goods or services, each website is set up in a way that allows the buyers to pay for their goods with crypto like bitcoin. Unlike banks, BTC is a relatively anonymous method of payment. Transactions can be made without showing your name, address and identity.
So, how do you get into the Dark Web? As I said, it can be accessed like a normal website. You will need a VPN and a special browser on your computer. However, more importantly, you will need to be in a country that is allowed to access the Dark Web. Most countries don’t have an issue with this, though some do.
You will find that most people have assumed that the Dark Web is accessed through Tor. Tor is what is known as the open source implementation of the Onion Router network. It is a network of computers made up of different layers. Each layer allows you to see different websites. The Onion Router was developed by the US Navy with the aim of protecting communications between remote sites.
