The Dark Web refers to a part of the internet that is not indexed by traditional search engines and requires specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. It exists on an encrypted network, often using technologies such as Tor (The Onion Router) that anonymize users’ identities and locations. The Dark Web is known for hosting a variety of content, including forums and marketplaces where users can exchange information and goods, some of which may be illegal, such as drugs, weapons, and stolen data.
