How to access the darknet and what’s available there

When the term "darknet" is mentioned, most people have the image of a hooded cybercriminal in mind. Hackers, drug dealers, terrorists - the users of the digital underground are often classified as lawbreakers. But that is only half the truth.

The so-called darknet, which is not scanned by any search engine and is based on "hidden wikis" reminiscent of telephone directories, cannot be accessed without tools. Specially adapted browsers or other tools that redirect network traffic are necessary for access - and are not in themselves a guarantee of complete anonymity. If you want to use the darknet, you need to understand how it works. Krone+ explains how it works, how to get in, who is on it - and where the dangers lurk.
