DARK WEB AND DEEP WEB

            DARK WEB AND DEEP WEB

Introduction:

So maybe you saw a picture of an iceberg on Google somewhere that says that's.

Well, you have four percent of the web. That is the surface web. And then you have the deep web that is like from 94 96 percent of all web Well this picture is a bit too wide because technically the deep web is just another part of the Internet. It's like the hide on the web. The deep web includes all the pages that are not indexed by a search engine for example by Google. So what does this make? Well, this includes pages, for example, YouTube Facebook or any other Web site that is indexed by Google will be the surface web as I said or pages indexed or the surface web. And then you have all the pages that are not indexed. So you have millions of billions and billions and billions of pages. And those pages are mostly well boring stuff. For example, it could be your bank account. It could be your e-mail. It could be pages that will be all pages that are protected by password could be for example a Web site that is under construction right now. So, for example, a Web site that is under construction will not be indexed by a search engine. And if it's not indexed by a search engine well this means that the Web site is not on the web yet. Well, he's maybe on the web but he is not indexed. So it's part of the web and as soon as it gets indexed Well it's going to be part of the surface web

What’s the Difference between the Deep Web and Dark Web?

Many times the two terms are used interchangeably as if they are more or less the same thing. This is very inaccurate, as the deep web just refers to non-indexed pages, while the dark web refers to pages that are both non-indexed and involved in illegal niches.

This image using an iceberg metaphor should clear it up in an easier to comprehend way. As you can notice, ironically, the dark web is deeper than the deep web.

The bottom line is this: the deep web might be made up of non-indexed pages simply because search engines fail to see them or because they’re not deemed relevant enough to be indexed. In contrast, the dark web wants to be hidden, since it’s a hub for shady business on purpose. The deep web is ethically neutral, it can be used for good or for bad. The dark web is where the parts of the moral-lacking economy and society come together. As far as the relationship between them goes, not all deep web is the dark web, but all dark web is the deep web.

Is It Illegal to Access the Deep Web or the Dark Web?

In short, no, it is not illegal to go browsing on a non-indexed page. Or to use a high-privacy like Tor, traditionally associated with browsing the deep web and dark web.

Part of the deep web might include your old blog from 10 years ago which search engines fail to index because it’s very old and devoid of content. It seems pretty harmless, right?

What is illegal is not just to access and browse the overlay networks called the deep web or dark web, but to look into illegal services sold on these networks. Or to attempt to hack things without permission. That’s what can get someone in trouble, not just simply the browsing.

Still, you should note that accessing the dark web without plenty of cybersecurity precautions can be dangerous for a layman. It can expose you to various dangers, which I’ll elaborate on below. If you absolutely must satisfy your curiosity on this, I will follow up with a guide on how to access the deep/dark web soon

What Are the Main Dangers of the Dark Web?

Returning to cybersecurity issues, I need to stress that the dark web is a dangerous place, especially if you’re a non-technical person just looking to satisfy a curiosity. Don’t go snooping around there, or at least not without preparing.

I will put together a guide on how to access the dark web if you must, sometime next week.

In the meantime, you should know that the dark web can pose dangers to your safety even if you don’t meddle in it.

You know why?

Because of one of the most often transaction goods on the dark web marketplaces are your data. There are tons and tons of gigabytes of leaked credentials and personal information for sale for hackers. That’s where hackers get their data for credential stuffing attacks, identity theft, and other shady business.

In an experiment I wouldn’t care to replicate, Cnet journalists wanted to find out exactly what the dark web knew about them. The answer: too much.

How to Stay Safe from the Dark Web

First of all, don’t go there. If you go then very careful about your security

Second of all, guard your data well. Be careful what data permissions you give (don’t just mindlessly click ‘yes’ on every pop-up just to get to a website). Follow the steps in our password security guide. Don’t use funny passwords which are easy to crack.

Sooner or later, some of your data will spill over to collections available for sale on the dark web. What you can do to protect yourself is to make sure that data is not accurate anymore, not detailed enough to cause harm, and that you have multi-factor authentication enabled everywhere you can use it. Having reliable anti-malware protection active is also very important.

If you need to go to the dark side to check it out, take precautions. Use an encrypted privacy browser (like Tor), don’t share any real info about yourself there, don’t buy anything, and don’t talk to anyone. Don’t install any software you come across while there. A guide on all this to follow soon.
