Background for this topic.
The Dark Web is a part of the internet accessible only through specialized anonymizing networks like Tor, which conceal user identities and locations. It hosts websites and services not indexed by standard search engines, enabling private communication and transactions. While it supports legitimate uses such as protecting privacy and circumventing censorship, its anonymity also attracts illicit activities.
