Abstract
The internet consists of or can be divided into three parts. They are known or referred to as surface web, deep web and dark web. The dark web also known as the ‘dark net’, represents part of the deep web. TOR, 12P, and Freenet are some specialized tools needed to access the dark web as they cannot be accessed ordinarily. These tools anonymize the internet protocol address of the user. This web level is characterized by notoriety and the operation of illegal markets and activities such as the sale of illicit drugs, firearms, and hitman services amongst others. This review seeks to find out the usage of the dark web, findings in related literature, the ethical and unethical sides of the dark web as well as its involvement in cybercrime.
