The TOR browser and other Dark Web technologies
The overall concept of Dark Web technologies is about routing users’ data through several intermediate servers (nodes). Only a following server on the path, which leads to the exit server, is capable of decrypting the transmitted data. This type of technology ensures anonymity and protects the users’ identities. This section covers the three main Dark Web technologies, which are the TOR network, IP2, and the Freenet software.
How the TOR network works
The TOR browser is a low-latency circuit-based anonymous communication platform. As with other low-latency anonymity networks, TOR aims to make it difficult for attackers to correlate communication patterns or correlate multiple connections to or from a single user. It works on the internet, requires no special modifications or kernel privileges, requires little coordination or synchronization between nodes, and provides a reasonable trade-off between efficiency, anonymity...
