How SINISTER is the Dark Web? Does it affect everyone? Do you need great expertise to navigate it safely? WHAT IS IT EXACTLY?

It is hidden and merely indicates that you need an unadvertised direct address to reach anyone on it.

IT usually has to do with nefarious activity or it wouldn't be hidden.


This article is about darknet websites. For the part of the Internet not accessible by traditional web search engines, see deep web.

The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets, overlay networks which use the Internet but require specific software, configurations or authorization to access.[1][2] The dark web forms a small part of the deep web, the part of the Web not indexed by search engines, although sometimes the term "deep web" is mistakenly used to refer specifically to the dark web.[3][4][5][6][7]

The darknets which constitute the dark web include small, friend-to-friend peer-to-peer networks, as well as large, popular networks like Tor, Freenet, and I2P, operated by public organizations and individuals. Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as Clearnet due to its unencrypted nature.[8] The Tor dark web may be referred to as onionland,[9] a reference to the network's top level domain suffix .onion and the traffic anonymization technique of onion routing.

There are lots of "Dark Webs". Big corporations usually have one connecting them to all their branches. The Military have one (or several).

It does not have to be some sinister and illegal purpose ;-))
