This is a diagram of the Internet. The Darknet is there, too, but you can't see it because it's ... [*duhh*] ... dark!

Darknets are the back alleys of the internets, moving data around with varying levels of security and speed. Kazaa is a good example of a fast darknet, while at the opposite end, Freenet is slow as balls but secure enough to have become the haven for all sufficiently paranoid whistleblowers publishing journals, thieves fencing stolen items, child pornographers trading collections, crackers in organized crimes dealing computer exploits, and terrorists instructing manuals.

At its most basic level, a darknet is any network that the authorities are monitoring around the clock and around the world. Short of outright banning all darknet traffic and seizing all nodes of the network at the exact time in every countries, there is no way for any authorities to nail any single user for breaking any law in any country. Since most western democracies has safe harbor laws to protect network providers, a constant source of lulz is when police seize darknet nodes in criminal investigations only to return them without being able to charge anyone.

The #darknet channel is also a famous source of lulz and drama on the EFnet IRC network. It is currently the primary place for skript kiddies to trade 0-day exploits.

Entropy

Freenet

The migration of Pedobear from 0.5 to 0.7 is causing much lulz as the developers is trying the add new functionality in the newer version to reject Pedobear.

GNUnet

I2P

OFF System

The pirates created OFF specifically to rape the MIAA MPAA. OFF is fast compared to the rest, but it rape bandwidth by consuming three times the size of the data.

TOR

Developed by Navy, Tested by Anarchists, Approved by Pedobear -- TOR's Slogan

The United States Navy created TOR to generate drama in Tibet for China. Much lulz was created in the brutal crackdown in Tibet. The anarchists at EFF then adapted it to promote free speech. Much lulz was created when music and movie pirates settled down on TOR. Eventually, Pedobear got hold of TOR. Much lulz was caused in Germany as authorities try to seize all TOR nodes to catch Pedobear.

Wikileaks

Wikileaks, a Swedish-based news agency, can be found on TOR. If the main site is being censored by your local government try the site on TOR. They reported the URLs in Australia's Internet blacklist. The blacklist contains gambling sites, fascist sites, CP sites, a medical doctor's business site mistaken for CP site, a US-based anti-abortion site with pictures of dead fetuses mistaken for CP site, and even Encyclopedia Dramatica. Drama ensued as every Pedobear in the world tried to reach Wikileaks and download the Australian blacklist effectively DoSing the site.
