Abstract: The Internet today is beset with constant attacks targeting users and infrastructure. One popular method of detecting these attacks and the infected hosts behind them is to monitor unused network addresses because many Internet threats propagate randomly, Deep web content cannot be indexed by search engine such as Google, Yahoo and Bing and Darknet is lies within the deep web. Dark web has been intentionally hidden, and it is not accessible through standard browser. Deep web can be accessed by anyone who has The Onion Router (TOR) browser. TOR is a virtual and encrypted tunnel which allows people to hide their identity and network traffic and allow them to use internet anonymously. Dark web is virtually online market for anything, including but not limited to drugs, weapons, credit card data, forged documents, hire services for murder, narcotics and indecent pornography etc. Because of these reasons, it is difficult for law enforcement agencies or digital forensic professionals to pinpoint the origin of traffic, location or ownership of any computer or person on the Darknet. Silk Road was only accessible via the TOR network and hidden from mainstream web. There has been lot of buzz around Bitcoin, TOR network and Darknet, because most of the Darknet sites carried out transactions through anonymous digital currency, pear to peer, distributed and Bitcoin which is based on cryptography principal (D. Rathod, 2017). In this research paper, I proposed the rise and challenge of Darknet. I am also proposed and discussed Darknet Deployment and why use the Darknet.
Keywords: Introduction to the Darknet, history of the Darknet, Why use the Darknet, The rise and challenge of Darknet, Assumptions of the Darknet, Darknet Deployment.
