..some quotes from the article above:

The Dark Web is a small and secretive part of the regular web that’s become a haven for drug markets, paedophiles and sex traffickers.

It’s dark because it uses encryption to hide the locations of everything on it from everything else. Users are anonymous and protected by a raft of privacy features baked directly into the Tor browser, which is the browser used to access it.


That leaves law enforcement not knowing where the websites are, who owns them, who uses them or who to arrest.


At least that’s the theory.

The reality is that while it’s hard to see in the dark, it’s not impossible to find things and over the last few years plenty of people who thought that Tor was a cloak of invisibility have come a cropper.
The people trying to hide on the Dark Web occasionally open doors that let the light come flooding in, bump in to the person chasing them or accidentally annoy organisations that happen to own very powerful torches.

Yup, there are in fact many ways to get busted on the Dark Web.

TOR browser is good, if you want to take a peek at dark web, but for something more serious, Tails is better suited.

^^ Maybe it's better to NOT offer "better"" solutions this kind of stuff in site like MalwareTips.... i could be wrong of course.

I agree with you, but i don't really understand "the dark web" to be honest, i just imagine that it is full of people who have something serious to hide and if they do then i hope they are tracked down.

It is best to stay far , far away from that. one mistake and you might end up on a site that you do not want to be on , if you know what I mean. plus the danger from balckhats , honeypots and all sorts of agencies and sick minds. no matter how careful you are or wich security measurements you take. if you want to see the deep web in action , check this youtube channel , the guy who makes these videos is hillarious :)

I figure if someone's that curious to see what's lurking on the dark web they'll end up there regardless. Still, not a place to explore willy-nilly and definitely isn't worth the possible prison sentence if you end up on a site slinging CP or something else just as vile.
