Pizzabagel was the executive business director of an extremely large illegal enterprise that made well over eight digits on the dark web. His insight into the criminal networks in the dark web will enable cybersecurity students learn of the criminal activities like the red room, a mythical room to commit murder that in his opinion exists but he has not encountered it, lets not forget of the gangs network. 

 As Pizzabagel (moniker to protect his own confidentiality and safety) exposes some myths about the dark web. What are the difference between the clear net, the dark net, and the deep web. His own explanation will enable learners in cybersecurity to learn and get an experience on how criminals operate in the dark web. He compares the web like an iceberg, the top most part or floating part is the legal web and the waterline is where things get complicated in that thats where the dark web begins. In his own words, “Anything that’s not indexed by a search engine, as in, anything that you can’t pull up on Google so it’s not ending in a normal domain, 
dot com, dot gov, dot org, it is part of the deep web. If something is on the deep web, in the parts of the deep web that starts to get into criminal activity, that is the dark web.” Students are advised against entering the dark web in which this is not an appropriate method, for learning purposes it would be effective for them to interact with the dark web as kit is legal, it only gets illegal when  you start buying things, shipping things, and distributing content. Credentials selling is a common thing in the dark web and cybersecurity students can get to experience on how transactions occur their to be able to anticipate on the weaknesses of the systems passwords and therefor upgrade credentials. Mr. Pizzabagel advocates that the dark web is a good and safe place and wants to reduce the stigma behind it. The dark web started and still largely operates as a safe space for people to convey ideas, messages, without fear of repercussions. 

Information from criminals can be used thereof to determine the type of methods used to access or make certain transactions that are illegal in this case, the dark web.
