👉 Dark computing refers to the use of computing resources and technologies that operate outside of traditional, transparent, and regulated environments. This includes activities like data mining, surveillance, and the use of unregulated or illegal computing power for nefarious purposes. Darknets, such as the Tor network, are a key component of dark computing, providing anonymous and encrypted channels for communication and data exchange. These networks allow users to bypass censorship, access restricted information, and conduct activities that might otherwise be illegal or heavily monitored. The term "dark" in dark computing signifies the hidden and often secretive nature of these activities, making them difficult to detect and regulate by conventional means.
