Dark Web Demystified

Description

Online Anonymity is the concept where the identities of communicators are kept secret. Online privacy is more than just encrypting/decrypting data, where, the identities are also hidden. Dark Web is that part of the Internet, which achieves anonymity and security to the highest level. Requiring specialized access methodologies unlike the normal web, Dark Web is most popularly known as "Evil twin of the Internet,” as more than 57% of this space is filled with illegal content. Onion Routing is the protocol used for anonymous and secret communications over the Internet. The Onion Router (Tor) is an implementation of the Onion Routing protocol, which is free and open source. Tor constantly encrypts messages that traverse through various nodes of a network, before reaching the destination. Onion services are the building blocks for Dark Web, which can be accessed through Tor.

Dark Web addresses are not indexed by any search engine and are also not ‘guessable’; the secrecy being the strength of onion services. This book explores the great potential offered by underlying technology (Onion Services) of Dark Web in realizing the much-needed anonymity and privacy of the current Internet.
