WHAT IS THE DARK WEB?

it's the part of the internet where people can come and have an access to it through unique softwares making those users anonymous and hide from the common internet world.

The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets, overlay networks that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations or authorization to access.

While the previous replies aptly defined what the Dark Web is, I'll care to share what is usually in there. Since it's a place that cannot be easily accessed by everyone, you'd expect topics, themes and stuff there that you wouldn't usually find in a google search. And I guess it really can pose danger to others who can get easily swayed (teens are always at risk on this) but for curiosity's sake, it's a decent place to just look around.

Dark Net (or Darknet) is an umbrella term describing the portions of the Internet purposefully not open to public view.

The term originally described computers on ARPANET were hidden, programmed to receive messages but not respond to or acknowledge anything, thus remaining invisible, in the dark.

The term has in later usage incorporated services such as the dark web, which is an overlay network that can be accessed only with specific software, configurations, or authorization, often using non-standard communication protocols and ports. Types of dark webs include friend-to-friend networks (usually used for file sharing with a peer-to-peer connection) and privacy networks such as Tor.

The reciprocal term for an encrypted darknet is clearnet or surface web when referring to content indexable by search engines

Dark Web or Dark Net is a subset of the Deep Web where there are sites that sell drugs, hacking software, counterfeit money and more.

Dark web is the part of the internet and it is not visible to search engines and requires the use of anonymizing browser called Tor to be accessed.

I would not want to visit the dark web, unless it is a matter of life and death. Too much security risks and shady people.
