DNM (Darknet Market)

A Darknet Market (DNM) is an online platform that operates on a hidden part of the internet called the dark web. These markets facilitate the buying and selling of goods and services, often including illegal items like drugs, stolen data, and weapons. Access requires special software like Tor, which anonymizes users' identities and locations. While legitimate products can sometimes be available, these markets are mainly known for facilitating illicit transactions due to their secrecy and difficulty of regulation. DNMs exemplify the intersection of advanced technology and ongoing security challenges in digital commerce.
