CS Dark Web
This lesson is part of Cyber Security · All levels
Summary
The dark web is a hidden part of the internet that can only be accessed with special software such as Tor, so the identity of the user and the owner of the site is relatively protected. This section is often associated with illegal activities such as the trafficking of stolen data, although not all of them are negative. Because of its anonymity, the dark web has become a favorite place for data leakers.
Key points
- The surface of the web can be indexed by search engines; the deep web contains regularly indexed content; the dark web needs special tools.
- Tor hides the user's identity through layered onion routing.
- Dark web service addresses are generally expired.
- Transactions are often made with cryptocurrencies to make it difficult to track.
- Individuals need to monitor data leaks and use MFA to make the credentials of the breaches meaningless.
