There is a section of the internet known as the "Dark Web" that is concealed from view, despite the fact that a large percentage of it can be accessed by conventional search engines like Google and Bing.The Dark Web is a section of the internet that is only accessible using specialized software, such Freenet, I2P (Invisible Internet Project), and Tor (The Onion Router). Users can interact with one another anonymously and visit secret websites thanks to these software solutions.The Dark Web is frequently linked to illegal operations like the trafficking of people, guns, and drugs. It's crucial to remember that not all of the content on the Dark Web is unlawful, even though it is true that illicit actions do occur there. Anonymity is provided by the dark web, a hidden section of the internet that also presents serious hazards to society by supporting both good uses like shielding dissidents and whistleblowers and illicit ones like drug trafficking, cybercrime, and the sale of stolen data.The author of this study article concentrates on providing a thorough description of the dark web and its impact on society.
