There are two webs. There’s the normal web most people use every day, which is easily accessible and indexed by search engines. And then there’s the “dark web”–hidden websites that won’t show up when you search Google, and can’t be accessed without special software.
The dark web, also referred to as the darknet, is an encrypted portion of the internet that is not indexed by search engines. The dark web is a subsection of the deep web. Neither dark nor deep web pages can be found on search engine results pages (SERP), but deep web pages can be accessed by anyone with a browser who knows the URL. Dark web pages, in contrast, requires special software with the correct decryption key, as well as access rights and knowledge of where to find the content.
The dark web exists on darknets, which are “overlay networks”. They’re build on top of the normal Internet, but they require special software to access, so they aren’t normally visible or accessible to people who aren’t in the know.
For example, the free software Tor hides a darknet. While you can use Tor to anonymize your web browsing activity on normal websites, Tor also offers.
