What is Dark Web?
The regular internet that we use is called the open web in technology parlance, meaning open to all. It can be used very easily through mobile or computer through which internet facility is available.
However, the dark web is not like that. It can be used only through specially coded software. Common people can never get any information about it. The Dark Web continues to operate in the bowels of the Internet. However, it is impossible to trace it.
For example, when you use the Internet through any device, that device saves its IP address. So if something goes wrong tomorrow, it can be traced. However, the IP address of a person using the dark web is not saved on any device in the world and cannot be traced.
The workings of the dark web are simple. Basically, from where it is used, the device is not exposed. However, it requires an IP address; But he doesn’t understand either.
In the open web system, the dark web targets any website that offers porn or online gaming or betting or any insecure website. When a person watches porn or goes to some website, they gain access to that website by granting many permissions through the device that has used it. But he escapes separately.
A software called The Onion Router is famous for dark web. Millions of people from all over the world do their business through this medium. That’s where they have their websites and they do business through those websites.
Finding these websites, finding their origin is a very demanding task for investigative agencies. You don’t get access to the dark web unless you enter a certain circle. Once entered, you can experience the full scope of creation beyond sight.
As it is almost impossible to trace these websites or the transactions on them, criminals seem to be using them extensively. Drug trafficking is a big factor in it. In the last four months in Mumbai, drug trafficking has been caught by various investigative agencies. In at least ten cases, it has been seen that the drug transactions took place through the dark web.
