Preface

The World Wide Web is divided into three areas: the Surface Web, the Deep Web, and the Dark Web. The Deep Web and Dark Web are the two areas that are not accessible through general search engines or browsers. This provides several advantages, such as anonymity and privacy, but it also provides people performing illicit, illegal, or nefarious activities with the same benefits. IT and security professionals also gain benefits by accessing these areas. 

This book will initially introduce you to the concept of the Deep Web and the Dark Web and will examine their significance. Then, we will deep dive into the recommended ways to access them, by using various operating systems and tools such as the Tor browser. We will also discuss what data can be obtained there, best practices for using the tools for the best effect, and who uses the Deep Web and the Dark Web.

By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience of working with the Deep Web and the Dark Web.
