Hello guys, a client of mine needs a research-based article that entails me using the darknet to source for information. I practically need to scavenge the darknet to get what I need. I've never accessed the darknet before and don't even know how to go about it. I'm considering the job because the client is paying really well. The issues are:

1) How do I access the darknet?
2) How do I use it safely, since I wouldn't want malicious users to exploit my machine.
3) How do I find the information I need there. I need to write on cyber crimes and hacking attempts, possibly before they happen...


Thanks for your inputs.
