What lurks behind the curtain = { isn’t that scary}
The internet you use and the websites your browse — these are just a fraction of the entire web. Some of you would be not knowing this widely popular fact about the hidden world of Darknet. But, your knowledge shouldn’t be limited to this fact. So, here is more about this underground world for the “underground”.
The Darknet can’t be accessed using the regular web browser. You can access this by using encryption mechanisms like TOR or some other password protected forums.
Many of you would be aware that the TOR network (The Onion Router) was developed by the United States Navy Research Laboratory in 1990’s to communicate securely and its code was later released to the world under a free license.
By configuring your TOR browser, you can access the Darknet websites. Apart from being a means to express your views freely, whistle blowing and secure communications, the Darknet is home to illegal products(a lot of them). It’s widely used to share peoples information, drugs, and other illegal information.
The Darknet has existed for a long time and it’s impossible for the governments to control what’s going on there with the available tools. — I say this cautiously. For it has been long rumoured that all activities can actually be monitored.
For the curious minded, have a blast finding out what is behind the curtain. If it was developed by the government, why did they release the code, after all its the government we are talking about.
Either way a tool is a tool. A hammer in the wrong hands sees everything as a nail.
