Varin Khera, Anand R. Prasad, Suksit Kwanoran · River Publishers eBooks · 2024
As mentioned in the previous chapter, the dark web is a tiny part of the deep web that we cannot access using regular search engines. The dark web is not one single network; it is composed of many private darknets that collectively form what is known as the dark web. A darknet network is a decentralized peer-topeer network. Some of the darknet networks are relatively large and powered by official organizations or public initiatives, while others are small and run by individuals. The most famous dark networks are TOR ( https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href=" https://www.torproject.org "> https://www.torproject.org ), I2P ( https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href=" https://geti2p.net "> https://geti2p.net ), Freenet ( https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href=" https://freenetproject.org/index.html "> https://freenetproject.org/index.html ), and Riffle ( https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href=" https://github.com/kwonalbert/riffle "> https://github.com/kwonalbert/riffle ).
