This question was raised in my mind after watching the trending web series on Netflix. After watching the complete web series, I get an idea that what is the dark web. Then, started searching about that. Was shocked on seeing that. First, when I heard the term dark web, I thought that would be something like usual web pages. But it was completely a different thing which many of us weren\u2019t aware of what it is. Even I was not aware of this web until I saw it on web-series. The dark web itself will tell you that it\u2019s related to something which many of us weren\u2019t aware of or unable to see. People look at that as a threatening one and there\u2019s a strong reason behind that. It&#8217;s none other than the part of the internet but made of hidden sites that can\u2019t be found by usual web browsers.

You can<br \/>\nfind all types of illegal activities from illegal drugs, gun sales, illicit<br \/>\npornography, stolen credit cards, and social security numbers. Many who opposes<br \/>\npoliticians from their government use this darknet web to communicate with each<br \/>\nother. And few use to get medical advice from the darknet web to remain their<br \/>\nproblem anonymous. Even, journalists use the dark web to talk about most<br \/>\nconfidential issues.

Tor browser and Tor-accessible sites are the sites that are used among the darknet users and they can also be identified by the domain \u201c.onion\u201d. Tor browsers work as a creator which creates a pathway for the user and also encrypted entry points, which allows the dark web user&#8217;s searches and actions to be anonymous. User\u2019s locations and identities cannot be tracked down as it was protected with a layered encryption system. The websites allow users to talk, blog and also share the files confidentially as the communication among users is highly encrypted.

The websites of the dark web are unusual as it<br \/>\nmakes it difficult to find them. Sites of Tor are made up of random series of<br \/>\nnumbers and letters to make it difficult.
