How is the dark web accessed ?
- The dark web can't be accessed through your typical browsers, such as Firefox or Chrome. It can only be accessed with a specialized, anonymous browser, such as Tor or the Invisible Internet Project (I2P).
- This type of web browser keeps a user's identity hidden by routing web page requests through a series of proxy servers that renders an IP address untraceable.
- Websites on the dark web have an unconventional naming structure. Therefore, users need to know the URL they want to access beforehand. Furthermore, dark web search engines aren't as effective and prominent as Google.
- Instead of ending in .com or other common suffixes, dark web URLs typically end in .onion, a special-use domain suffix. Dark web sites also have URLs that are a mix of letters and numbers, making them hard to find or remember.
- For example, the now-defunct darknet black market, The Silk Road, went by the URLs silkroad6ownowfk.onion and silkroad7rn2puhj.onion.
