A majority of Internet traffic and online data lives beneath the surface of the Web as we know it. In the darkest, hidden recesses of the Internet, individuals engage in illicit activities and cybercrimes, but also in substantial activism, journalism and sensitive communications. Hackers operate anonymously and in great numbers in this environment. In various secretive forums, they discuss techniques, software vulnerabilities and exploits, and tools of the trade.
