I am finding a lot of stuff telling me the darkweb is an “overlay network” meaning it is built on top of another network. What? How?
Sincerely,
An idiot

Technically ‘dark’ web is any server page or folder not accessable to the general public or a web search engine crawler. The Google search engine page? Not dark web. Your Google apps data folder? Dark web. The us military network connecting military bases together? Dark web. Video calls, sms text messages, chat rooms, etc are ‘dark’ web since they are not seen by search engines and the general public. Typically the dark web needs a login and password to view it.
If you are talking about “illegal” dark web, there are many ways to hide. Shuting down and changing servers on a regular basis, encrypting data, special viewers, etc. It could also hide in plain sight like password protected files in usenet forums.
