The World Wide Web is divided into three main areas—the Surface Web, the Deep Web, and the Dark Web. The Deep Web and Dark Web are not accessible through standard search engines or browsers. Learning these concepts and their possible evolution will help you understand the cybersecurity risks that exist in the Dark Net and why it is important to have control over these areas to defend your organization from security attacks.

This book starts with an introduction to the concepts of the Deep Web, Dark Web, and their significance in the security sector. You'll then get started by installing operating systems and the Tor Browser for privacy, security, and maintaining your anonymity while accessing the Deep and Dark Web. Furthermore, this Dark Web book will also help you understand different platforms designed for advanced security and privacy such as TailsOS, Whonix, and Qube OS.
