2. WHAT IS THE DARK WEB?
The dark web, also known as the
deep web, makes up a large
portion of the internet. The dark
web contains information not
searchable by traditional search
engines such as Google because
the websites contained in the
dark web are not indexed and are
therefore not easily traceable.
3. HOW DO YOU ACCESS THE DARK
WEB?
The dark web can be accessed
through specific browsers. The
most popular browser is The
Onion Router or simply known as
TOR. Because the websites in the
dark web are not indexed, the
use of TOR hides the IP
addresses of websites within the
dark web to maintain its
anonymity. The IP addresses are
hidden using the .onion suffix.
4. WHAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE DARK
WEB?
Since the content found in the dark web is anonymous and not easily
traced, most of the websites offer illegal services. These include mail
order drugs, online black market, hitmen/assassins for hire, hackers
for hire, human experiments, illegal purchase of firearms and the
like.
