You can even find human trafficking and other terrible things on the dark web. Almost everything can be traded here at the price. But not everything is illegitimate here, some people even use it for communication media like Facebook to connect with people. 

How to Access the Dark Web?

Entering the dark network websites is much difficult as compared to accessing the regular www sites. However, if you still decide to ever access the dark web, enter at your risk because you can be tricked and trapped here by cybercriminals and experts.

Just like you use chrome or internet explorer for accessing the websites, you need to use the TOR browser for accessing the dark web sites. The TOR browser allows a user to browse the web anonymously. You also need to connect to the virtual private network service to mask your IP.  Google will never index the dark web websites, also accessing dark web via Google is challenging. DuckDuckGo is the search engine used for entering dark web websites.
