The "Dark Web" came in news with the shut down of Silk Road - an on line marketplace for illegal commodities. silk road operated within the confines of the "Dark Web" that operated its own DNS operated by several "volunteers" . It is almost as if the "Dark Web" is a world that runs disconnected and completely parallel to the WWW that we know about. Not even the DNS is shared.

I really am not sure how the "Dark Web" works and my basic question is where does the "Dark Web" start , once I send my (specially encrypted ) packet? Does it go through my ISP's router? Does it use an IP address (possibly unnamed) at all? Numerous things remain to investigate. I found that you need a special TOR browser to get into the TOR network of the "Dark Web". But what makes this TOR packet undetectable to even my ISP if they wanted to?

Please go over the above link and comment on the Dark Web. Supporters of Dark Web also contain political dissidents and whistle blowers, who do not trust the public Internet to spread their ideas for the fear of network surveillance. Do you think Dark Web would exist if the Internet were not subjected to surveillance and traffic analysis by political entities?
