Abstract: In the recent years, the digital currency (Bitcoins) and some illegal services has led to the emergence of a new software and mechanism to hide the privacy in the internet. this latter, is the service that interconnect the computer resources using different protocols (TCP/IP, FTP, etc.). The web is one of those services that offer the possibility to the internet users to navigate between a number of websites. Those websites can be found either from a search engine or directly from a link. In the case of a search engine, the website must be indexed by the search engine indexation robots unless it will not appear in research results. In the internet the search engines appeared websites compose just 10% of the whole websites that exists. However, the other 90% are existing in the dark web. In the dark web, the users use the anonymity systems such as Tor to hide their privacy and the possibility of non-detection. In this paper, we seek to define the dark Web, it’s characteristics and tools. Also, we will present some statistics about the use of Tor browser either for Morocco or the whole world.
