- 2. The DarkWeb, also known as Darknet, is a part of the world wide web where most of the illegal activities take place on the internet. From phishing to scams and much more, these attacks are very harmful, and most cyber experts are trying to figure out a way to solve this problem.
- 3. You musthave heard of the dark web in movies and pop culture, but it is not what you see there. It is a much more complicated place on the internet. So, lets get started on the Dark web and its meaning.
- 4. What isthe Dark Web? The dark web is a part of the internet where the identity of the individuals or groups present inside is not tracked. Hence, for hackers and criminals, it serves as a place to hide their identity and stay anonymous from the real world. This is how hackers stay out of the radar of crime agencies, and conduct illicit activities without any disruptions.
- 5. How doesthe Dark Web Work? The dark web is an unsecured place for any user. However, due to increasing trends and curiosity, many users find ways to access the dark web. This is mainly done using specialized software services like Tor, and advanced search engines like Onion. These services offer anonymity, and users can utilize these facilities for both legal as well as illegal activities.
- 6. Some ofthese features are given in the following section − • Identity Hiding − As we have already discussed, the dark web uses a different server that hides information about users and their identity. • Easy Access − The dark web is easily accessible to anyone around the world. This helps different scammers connect with a global audience who are desperate to find something on this platform. • Market for Illegal Goods − All major illegal cyber activities find a home on this platform. These include activities like scams, frauds, money laundering, illicit deals, and many more.
- 7. Onion Routingin Dark Web The dark web can be accessed in various ways. One of the most popular ways to access the dark web is via Onion routing. Onion routing is a wide term for different service providers that use the dark web.
- 9. One ofthese services is Tor, which is very popular for accessing the Dark web. When you use Tor, the internet traffic loaded in the servers is encrypted in multiple layers. This layered data is sent through random servers or nodes which are operated by users worldwide. At each node in the network, one layer of encryption is destroyed.
- 10. After successivetraversal of nodes, the data would have lost its original encryption, and it becomes anonymous. Thereafter, by routing traffic using multiple servers, just like the layers of an onion, Tor masks the IP address of the users. This masking makes online tracking of activities nearly impossible. As a learning activity, we can access dark websites by installing special software packages like Tor. After successful installation, we need to change the address of the websites by replacing .com or .net with .onion.

Editor's Notes
- #1 Thank you for that introduction . In order to understand my presentation better and provide context on why I chose to make my presentation the way I have, I wish to briefly introduce myself. I , alongwith a number of my colleagues from the member states of the WTO work on the alleged reform of the dispute settlement understanding. We are a band of mostly happy lawyers who have been kindly accused in the past of fixing what aint broke as most people would agree that by and large , the system of settlement of disputes has been delivering regardless of the impasse in the DDA. Therefore what follows , is to my mind, a creative look at what could be the shape of things to come.
