Summary/Abstract: The development of information and communication technologies, especially the Internet, has led to drastic changes in all spheres of human life and work.

One example of the latter is a new kind of terrorism and criminal activity which is based on the use of the non-indexed part of the Internet which is called dark Web.

This paper gives a brief overview of documented ways for accessing this part of web, and examples of abuses of its features
