The dark web is a hotbed of criminal activity, including drug dealing, black-hat hackers and terrorists. It’s also a venue for those who are a bit shady such as hitmen human traffickers and corrupt officials. However, the dark web isn’t just bad. It also serves as a sort of bridge between people who are politically outcast and those in the free world and serves as a platform for those who wish to share anonymous information (whistleblowers).
To access the dark internet, you’ll need a special browser known as Tor. It works a bit like a VPN by encrypting your data and removing geo-location labels that your ISP or government could use to track you. Tor also improves your privacy by routing your request through a network of volunteers servers in the world.
After you’ve installed and configured Tor, you can start surfing the dark web. Content isn’t as indexed as on the surface web, but there are still many sites worth checking out. There are sites where you can buy illegal drugs and guns and also guides on how to hide your digital footprint and launch ransomware attacks.
