Dark Web

What is the Dark Web?

The Dark Web is a part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines and requires special software, such as TOR, to access. It is often associated with illegal activities, but it also provides a platform for whistleblowers, journalists, and activists to communicate anonymously.

How the Dark Web Works

The Dark Web operates on encrypted networks, such as TOR, I2P, and Freenet. Here's how it works:

• Encryption: All traffic on the Dark Web is encrypted, ensuring anonymity.
• Onion Routing: Traffic is routed through multiple nodes, making it difficult to trace.
• .onion Domains: Websites on the Dark Web use .onion domains, which are not accessible through regular browsers.
