Darknet is an overlay network that can only be accessed using specific software,configurations,or authorization.
It is part of the Deep Web, because its contents are not accessible through search engines. But it is something more, it is anonymous.
It hosts anonymous websites. Yeah, you wouldn’t know who the owner is unless he explicitly reveal his information. It offers full anonymity to users too. Darknet anonymity is usually achieved using an Onion Network
I am sure you have cut an onion once in your lifetime and you had been crazy about the number of layers it has, same happens when you use an onion network. There are numbers of encryption layers that hide your true identity.
Use of Dark Net
Ok, so you have grasped what Darknet is, Now you may ask me why should you use it.
Well the reason could be any of them:
To better protect the privacy right of citizens from targeted and mass surveillance.
Whistleblowing and news leaks.
Hacking and Computer Crime. Maybe,you may wart to chat with the most dangerous of hackers.
Sale of restricted goods.
File sharing.
How to Access Dark Net
Well the most popular way to access Darknet is by using TOR browser.
Technically, it stands for ‘The Onion Router, and it is as simple as installing a new browser.
After that you would need a URL or directory that contains URLs to different websites or class of websites so that you know what to type in into the browser’s address bar.
You can easily get URLs in Onion Directory of Darknet at ttamdw / or just google for DarknetSites.
Make sure you use TOR browser.
