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 is a subset of the Deep Web, which encompasses all parts of the internet not indexed by conventional search engines, including databases and private content. The Dark Web is often associated with anonymity and privacy, allowing users to browse and communicate without revealing their identity or location.
While it can be used for legitimate purposes, such as protecting the privacy of individuals in oppressive regimes, the Dark Web is also known for hosting illicit activities, including the sale of illegal drugs, weapons, and stolen data, as well as various forms of cybercrime.
