If you're a novice in the field of hacking. You're in the right place. Here, you will get acquainted to the most fundamental hacking terms so that you can go ahead.

Hack in other context can also refer to a strategy or technique for managing one's time or activities more efficiently, but we're not gonna talk about it. We are discussing about the cyber-hacking.

That’s because the Dark Web is actually a (very small) subset of the Deep Web and includes censor-resistant platforms, like Tor, Freenet and I2P (Invisible Internet Project). A huge majority of websites on the Dark Web are on the Tor platform, and have .onion as their top-level domain (TLD). Those on the I2P platform, meanwhile, have .i2p as their top-level domain name.

Often called the modern Wild West, the Dark Web is a completely different sub-system that’s far-removed from the regular ‘surface web’ that you and I access everyday. It has its own search engines, the most famous being ‘Grams’ that looks and feels a bit like Google, and is even referred to as the ‘Google of the Dark Web’ by fans and critics alike. Accessing the Dark Web It is a fairly simple p

Linux is a one of the much admired and loved OSs by IT Pros, ethical hackers and computer enthusiasts. After mastering Windows and macOS, it's time to switch over to Linux. Many must have used it. It has numerous distros (flavours), available free all of them beeing open source and free with GNU Public license. Linux is a way ahead when it comes to hacking.
