What is the dark web?

 

The dark web is a part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines and is not accessible using standard web browsers. It is a hidden network that can only be accessed using specialized software, such as the TOR browser.

The dark web is often associated with illegal activities, such as the sale of drugs and weapons, human trafficking, and the distribution of stolen credit card numbers. However, it is also used for legal purposes, such as anonymous communication and the sharing of sensitive information.

It is important to note that accessing the dark web is not illegal, but participating in illegal activities on the dark web is a crime. It is also important to be aware that the dark web can be a dangerous place, as it is often used by cybercriminals to facilitate illegal activities and can be a breeding ground for scams and other fraudulent activity.
