The so called "Dark web" isn't all sinister or secret. More like an unlisted phone number or back door for employees, or loading dock rather than the front door via the domain name. We've had remote staff and used the dark web for years for staff interaction, scheduling, etc. I imagine other businesses that use the internet as part of their entrant has done likewise.

@Heartlander Large companies that need protect themselves are far more likely to use an internal network, not the "Dark Web", to protect sensitive material. That "intranet" can be extended to linking departments separated geographically, too; and this has been possible since well before the "Dark Web" as such emerged.
The "Dark Web" itself might not be sinister but has proven a useful tool for organised-crime gangs including dealers and smugglers in drug, paedophilic material, arms and money-laundering. It's this criminal use, possibly its major use now, that has given it an evil reputation.
It can be cracked using appropriate forensic software and skill, and though that would be expected for criminal detection; it would be make it dangerous for business and governmental agency use. For the more universal the system, the easier it is to be attacked.

@ArishMell Understand. We are a tiny-tiny company and we have to roll our own :) We eventually abandoned the darker web because of the need for the more expensive static IP, and most providers prohibit running a server in their user agreement.
Interestingly, we run our internal affairs now through a password protected part of our web site. The current site itself has been up now for 6 years without harassment so knock on wood :)

@Heartlander It helps if the company can employ IT specialists to oversee the system. I have no idea what ISP my last employer used, but it did have secure servers which I imagine did separate the intranet and internet traffic.
We also used passwords which we had to change every few months, though it up to us to create our own, subject to certain conditions. I think I made one from details printed on some electrical equipment on the wall.

I downloaded a TOR browser and visited Silk Road a few times when it was up and running. I never bought anything but it seemed to be the ebay for illegal items. I don't recall ever using TOR for anything else.

It's not as "dark" as some of its users like to think... It can be cracked open by specialist security and forensic work, and has been quite a few times now.

@SW-User Oh, I know what it is but I have no idea how and where you find the software.
That is because like most WWW users, I have neither need nor wish to use the "Dark" version. Have you?

Not yet. Have thought about it and I might do one day out of curiosity but no real desperate desire to.
