Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the possibilities of gaining access to the darkened sphere of the network, taking into account the technical basis of such access and their characteristics. The features of these programs determine their usefulness in crimi- nal activity, which is why knowledge of how they work becomes a kind of standard in legal practice. Considerations regarding the functioning of the TOR, I2P and Freenet networks will be preceded by an explanation of what Darknet is, what is its main pur- pose (not everyone uses the Darknet illegally) together with an indication of its place in the general structure of the Internet.
