What does Dark Web mean?

[Starmix]

The Dark Web is a hidden part of the internet that requires special software, like the Tor browser, to access. It is intentionally designed to be anonymous and difficult to trace. The regular web that you access with Chrome, Firefox, etc., is indexed by search engines like Google. The Dark Web is not. Dark Web users can hide their IP addresses and identities using tools like Tor, making it harder to track their activities. The Dark Web hosts a wide range of content, some legal and some illegal.

Some people use the Dark Web to protect their privacy and avoid censorship. Others use it to engage in illegal activities due to the anonymity it offers. Accessing the Dark Web itself is not illegal, but many activities that take place there are. It can be risky to browse the Dark Web, as you may encounter illegal content or malicious actors. In short, the dark Web is a hidden part of the internet that offers anonymity, but it is also associated with illegal activities and risks.

Wow, cool! Do you enjoy exploring the dark web? You're right. We need a dedicated Tor browser, a VPN, and a powerful antivirus. The dark web also has communities and discussion forums, and dark web users often use virtual machines to protect their devices. The dark web isn't always bad; it can also be accessed for legitimate, yet hidden, activities.

That's right, there are many discussion forums or communities on the dark web, such as
LeakBase and Altenen, two communities that focus on trading leaked data, such as bank customer data and credit card details. Dread is a forum like Reddit, so you can read reviews about vendors, etc.

The dark web is very risky, and one needs to know what they are doing before they even think about accessing it. It's better not to if you don't have anything to do there. Majority of the things that goes on there is risky and illegal.

Indeed, just the name itself signifies malicious activities. There might be a hidden agenda that could destroy our activities online.
