Description
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the Darknet, from its origins to its modern functionality. It is designed for individuals who want to gain a foundational understanding of the technologies and structures that make up the Darknet. The course begins with a general introduction, followed by an explanation of the various layers of the internet, helping to position the Darknet within the context of the broader web.The module on the history of the Darknet explores the development of the network, while the section on the precursors of the Darknet covers early technologies that paved the way for modern Darknet protocols. The course also looks at standard internet communication and contrasts it with how anonymous networks operate.A key focus of the course is the comparison between the two most well-known anonymous networks: TOR and I2P. The course explains how TOR works in detail, and through the visualization of relay distribution and performance, it enhances the understanding of the TOR network's operation.Practical tutorials guide participants through installing the TOR browser, followed by an exploration of a TOR website for hands-on experience. This practical section allows participants to apply the theoretical concepts learned throughout the course to real-world scenarios.Overall, the course offers both technical knowledge and practical skills, providing participants with a complete understanding of the Darknet and equipping them with the tools to navigate anonymous networks safely.
