The internet is much,much bigger than you realize.A normal person can only access 4% of the internet which is visible to them.The internet is divided into 3 layers;surface web,deep web,dark web.The surface web is used by normal people like you and me.The deep web is usually used for government and academic information.The dark web is used by hackers and are used for other illegal activities. Dark web is the world wide web that is only accessible by means of special software and only allowing users and website operators to remain anonymous.The dark web is a subset of the deep web.The dark web was created by the US government in order to allow spies to exchange information completely anonymously.The dark web hides things including identities and actions.The dark web also prevents people to know who you are,what you are doing and where you are doing it.
The dark web exists on dark nets, which are “overlay networks”. They’re build on top of the normal Internet, but they require special software to access, so they aren’t normally visible or accessible to people who aren’t in the know.
Dark nets hide websites that don’t want to be on the normal internet,where they can be tracked down. These websites comprise what’s known as the dark web.
One of the most widely known examples of a dark website was Silk Road, a huge black market website where drugs were offered for sale, with payments made in Bitcoin and drugs mailed to buyers through the postal system.
It’s worth noting that not everything you see on the dark web is legitimate most of it might not be, especially the more extreme listings. Are the criminal services and products advertised real, or do they just exist to scam people out of their money? Perhaps some of them are traps laid by the authorities to catch people who try to hire assassins, buy weapons, or acquire counterfeit currency.

If you’re a whistle blower and you need to leak documents to the media while maintaining your anonymity, that might be another good reason to visit the seedy underbelly of the web.There’s a lot of nasty stuff on the dark web even if a good amount of what you’ll find there are scams. Journalists and activists also use the dark web to avoid being traced by governments or other actors that might want to harm them.However, the dark web is also being used for many other activities that are mostly legitimate (though not necessarily legal, depending on your perspective). Edward Snow-den, the famous whistle blower who exposed the U.S. government’s mass surveillance program, used the dark web to send information to reporters and media outlets.In countries where the government restricts access to specific websites and social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, dark web tools can help circumvent censorship.
