What is a Darknet?

A “darknet,” or “dark network” is a collection of computers that is in no way connected to the internet.

Two computers connected only to each-other form the simplest form of darknet. Another form would be one or more routers connected to each-other, with other computers connected to them, but no router or computer having a connection to the internet.

    This is sometimes refered to as an Air gaped network since there is air or space between it and any connection.
