-Of course, there is a technological space called the dark web, where the servers of websites are hidden behind a veil of cryptography, and users also enjoy strong anonymity protections. But that space is nothing like the fairy tale that has been concocted around it; that of a colossal ocean of digital stores selling exclusive products, where criminals are free from prosecution. That characterization is not true.

+What we call the dark web is tiny. In short, the number of people visiting the dark web is a fraction of overall Tor users, the majority of whom are likely just using it to protect their regular browsing habits.
-Tor originally stood for The Onion Router. It's a worldwide network of servers designed to help users browse the Web anonymously, along with software to access the network.

-The open-source software was developed 11 years ago with funding from the U.S.  military, but no single person or organization controls the network as a whole.
-That sounds really complicated. Can ordinary users use it?
-To make the system easier to use, the Tor project provides the Tor Browser Bundle. That's a version of the Firefox Web browser that's been pre-configured to send all of its traffic through the Tor network. So to anonymize your traffic, all you do is download the Tor version of Firefox and use it like you would an ordinary Web browser. No special configuration or technical knowledge is required.

 What the Tor network allows is what's called a mixed routing experience where, due to a voluntary cooperation of peers around the Internet -- around the world, across borders, across jurisdictions -- you get individuals who are able to share traffic in ways that don't require them to be able to read the content of it. So you don't have to trust every participant of the Tor network to know who you are and what you're looking for.

+Can digital rights management technology stop the unauthorized spread of copyrighted content?
+Ten years ago this month, four engineers argued that it can't, forever changing how the world thinks about piracy. Their paper, "The Darknet and the Future of Content Distribution" was presented at a security conference in Washington, DC, on November 18, 2002.

The Guru 42 Universe is not run by a university professor with a team of editors and advisers working to developing a website. Tom Peracchio is simply someone who loves technology and history and is amazed by how little people know about the great minds in the world of technology.
