Abstract

The depth of the Internet extends well beyond the surface information that many people may quickly access in their routine searches. Some people may think of the web as only being made up of webpages that can be found using conventional search engines like Google. This information, referred to as the “Surface web,” represents a very small percentage of the entire internet. The part of the internet that search engines and web crawlers do not index is known as the deep web. On the other hand, a subset of the deep web known as the “dark web” is only accessible using specialized software like Tor (The Onion Router). The surface web is primarily used for acceptable daily online activity, while the dark web is purely anonymous and is known for carrying out illicit transactions. The dark web is a small part of the deep web which can be accessed through the Tor browser. This chapter aims to examine current technology developments and some intriguing recent dark web statistics to evaluate the dark web's present state, technologies, usage, and current trends and data breaches.
