Deep Web: The Forbidden Area of the Internet!

[Anonymous]

What do you think about when you hear the word "internet"? Instagram? Youtube? Facebook? These are the first things that come to our mind when we hear that word. But internet is not limited with these things.

Like everything else, internet also has a dark side that not everybody can reach.

You probably heard about deep web. This name is given for the dark side of the internet. Most internet users don't know deep web because searching tools doesn't let you search for these web sites.

We can only reach 10% of the internet.

All the bad and illegal things are done through deep web. For example: serial killers are waiting there for you. They are ready to kill anybody and record it as a proof.

There are some search engines which can reach to deep web. But it is very dangerous as your pc has no protection.

So just don't try to reach there just because you are curious.

There is the deep web and the "deeper" dark web. The internet is just one of the networks that comprises the world wide web. An outdated, but still useful network is Usenet, which is accessible with a newsgroup reader, and contains text newsgroups, as well as binary newsgroups.

As you mention, there are the sites on the hidden wiki, accessibly by the onion router software called Tor.

There is also another network that is accessible with specialist software, but in case people do not know it, I will attempt to keep it that way, as it is potentially more dangerous that onion sites.

There are, of course, private networks accessible only by the commercial enterprises that use them. They run alongside the Virtual Private Networks (VPN's) that we can all use.

Good take, as well!

[myTake Owner]

Thank you

[Opinion Owner]

No probs!

[goaded]

Freenet?

As to searching onionland: Google anything with "site:onion. to"

[Opinion Owner]

@goaded Do not mention that here!

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you for MHG!

Been there, saw a woman getting scalped.
Fun times. ( I need help)

[myTake Owner]

really?

[Opinion Owner]

Jup. Regretted going the minute I figured out what I was looking at.

[bekkesmash]

You can see far worse than that on bestgore. com, and that's not on the deep web.

[Opinion Owner]

@bekkesmash That shit was live.

[bekkesmash]

O shit, ok.

[mamamai]

Nope, not for me! My friends tried showing me a beheading and another where a child was getting beaten. I couldn't even get to the hotel part, I started closing my eyes in the beginning.

[Opinion Owner]

@mamamai Silver lining, I'm desensitized to most things now.

[mamamai]

Yeah, I guess that helps in some ways but I like caring about people.

[JudgmentDay]

"DARK" Web, it's Dark Web.

[razor97]

the dark web is more visible. and can be reached using normal browsers

[JudgmentDay]

@razor97 Dark Web is for things lik TOR, political protest, drug trafficking and other illegal activities, other times it's called "Dark Net".

It has no more or less protection than the regular web. I don't think you have the first clue what you're talking about.

I work in IT and this entire post is nonsense.

[Maik567]

What you're talking about is actually the dark web. All "deep web" means are the content of databases and other web services that for one reason or another cannot be indexed by conventional search engines.

So basically even private facebook profiles count as "deep web". Dark web however is where a lot of the illegal things you were talking about happens. Dark web is basically a part of the internet that can only be accessed through specific software like the Tor browser for example.

[JGodwin0425]

I was in a Computer Science class and learning about all the differences and things that classify as whatever was crazy. I didn't know about private facebook accounts being "deep web" and it was really interesting.

[genericname85]

you confused the "deep web" with the "dark web"

you are right about that we only see 10% of the web but the other 90% is made up of the "internet of things" where all kind of internet enabled devices communicate with each other and exchange subsurface level information that we don´t need to see as it would bore us the fuck out.

the "dark" web is a fraction of the "visible" web. all you need is a specific browser and some links to work with, as there´s no such thing as "google for the dark web". and it´s called dark web, cause most average people never make an effort to see it. it´s also called dark web cause of the crime associated to it but not all things are evil. yeah you will come across hit man ordering sites, child porn, all kinds of fraud and scam instruction sites and of course drug stores but those are largely infiltrated and monitored by FBI nowadays so most of the "dark web" is used for political information and whistleblowing nowadays.

[genericname85]

it´s only "dark" cause your is mostly safe on there, unless you do crime, then it´s a gamble and the FBI can actually get you if you´re unlucky.

[genericname85]

your identity*

[frozenhorizon]

Man yet another person trying to offer an improved explanation and getting it wrong. Deep web = content that is accessible on the internet but not indexed by search engines. So it is "visible" if you have the exact link. Dark web = not accessible even with the exact link unless you are connected to a specific virtual network (e. g. tor), and thus not indexed by search engines... but could be indexed by search engines if the search engine was on that particular network. Has nothing to do with IOT, jfc.

[genericname85]

@frozenhorizon dude your definition of "accessible" is totally bullshit. deep web isn´t always "accessible" it can also be encrypted or run on protocols that are not used by standard browsers. so by that definition of "accessible", the dark web is as "inaccessible" as the deep web, cause it runs on a different protocol.

there are search engines that do run an index of onion sites but like google, they both don´t index the "entirety" of the web you can reach by using ip adresses or isp adresses.

it´s just a different protocol. by the way even google chrome supports onion links via plugins nowadays. so the tor network couldn´t be further from "inaccessible". however the deep web is largely "inaccessible", cause you don´t have the passwords to get into it or you can´t resolve the internet of things communications code and by that it is "inaccessible" to the general public unlike those tor links that everybody can open using tor browser or a puny chrome plugin.

[frozenhorizon]

I'm just saying you explained the deep web as communications between internet of things devices which it isn't

[genericname85]

@frozenhorizon it is among other things. however it´s usually protected by passwords or the gibberish that´s on there won´t tell you anything or if it does, it´s mundane shit that you don´t care for. but you know an opinion can only have so many characters so i had to leave something out xD

[meowcow]

The only reason to avoid it is if you don't understand it.

The deep web is home to virtually everything. If you are living in a dictatorship country and you want to protest or avoid prosecution, the deep web is the place to go for support. If you simply don't trust gov't organizations to protect your privacy, the deep web is the place to go.

You will only find something bad if you make the effort to seek it.

[Himig_Ng_Pag-ibig]

I've already visited it.. You need thor browser as an example. Then you get the address as an example 'hidden wiki' which has addresses that ends on. onion. It's not really dangerous unless of course if we're talking about viruses or malware, ready your anti-virus. Just don't actually go to the sites and do transactions.

[Himig_Ng_Pag-ibig]

tor browser*

[J-Rock]

haahaha, yeah right.

I've been online since 1995 and I've seen it all. There is no super-secret website. The "deep" web they are talking about are just invite only websites and what not.

There are no people ready to kill you at the blink of an eye.

[1whetam1]

She was actually mistaken... the dark web is where all the bad stuff is

[bellpepprs]

Just google deep web exploration on youtube, There's a youtuber named SomeOrdinaryGamers who has done many videos on it. Its crazy

[JGodwin0425]

You have to secure all of your personal data. If someone get your IP address they can really fuck with your computer, steal passwords, send viruses, etc.

[Mr-Kabuki]

You know apparently there was an underground music scene that existed only on the deep web in the early 2000's. It was an industrial influenced noise punk scene and started somewhere in australia. The bands would write songs about hacktivism, conspiracy theories, anti governmentalism, and the right to free information. They called this music, Neo-trash.

[bekkesmash]

Yeah, get TOR, then all the kiddie porn, drugs, weapons and hit men are available to you. My friend use to order drugs off silkroad on the deep web

[frozenhorizon]

It's the dark web, not deep web.

[bekkesmash]

It's called either, they are the same thing.

[Josht13]

bitch whachu talkin bout. The deep web isn't the dark web and it's basically just a safer more anonymous version of the web. I have used it to download a few things and never had any problems.

[razor97]

that's true, but some parts of the internet have viruses

[frozenhorizon]

lol omg nobody here knows what they're talking about. deep web is just anything that isn't indexed by search engines.

[razor97]

@frozenhorizon true

[John_Doesnt]

Telling people "Don't try it" is a guaranteed way to make sure people try something.
Any half-ass psychologist will tell you that.

[myTake Owner]

Hahahaha maybe that's what l'm trying to do

[Unit1]

The deep web is my home. The government can't stop me hopefully.

[JudgmentDay]

I think she meant Dark Web or Dark Net, check my response. If you ever used TOR then you'd be able to access content in the Dark Web, it's where the internet black market is.

[Unit1]

@JudgmentDay I'm using a VPN service already, that i rent. I can access the entire web for now.

[Dale1982]

Computers and the web bore the tits off me anyway. How can folk live their lives out staring at a screen

[Dog19]

I do, I only have one friend and he's 14 years older than me

[Dale1982]

@Dog19 fuck me. Your a kid, get out there and tear that world apart or you'll regret it. I had tons of mates at your age. I was in the middle of a jail sentence for attempted murder at 19. Nothing to be proud of I admit but it felt great at the time. I was defending my part of town, or so I thought. Ffs don't go out trying to kill anybody, I ain't encouraging that shit. I'm just saying live. I lived more in my life by the time I was your age than most cunts live in a lifetime. If you can make one friend you can make a thousand. Likewise if you can make 1 enemy... bla bla. Stop thinking about you and think about others and you'll make tons of pals. We're not here to think of number one. You look after yourself you'll only have you giving a fuck about yourself. You look after others you'll have tons of pair of eyes watching you're back

[Dale1982]

I mean you'll have hundreds of pals.

[Dog19]

That's the most beautiful thing I've heard all day

[Dale1982]

@Dog19 if you're with mum and dad, move out. Move somewhere nice. Get a job. Get to knkw people in the pub and work. Be nice, show respect. Remember everybody is a friend until they prove otherwise. If they aren't get them to fuck they're poison. If you're friend needs your flat or apartment , your car , the shirt off of your back, give them it, no questions. If they fuck you over, warn them, if they do it again, get rid of them. Everybody deserves 2 chances at least. Let the boundaries down and let people in. We aren't to live alone thinking of our own needs. We ain't designed that way. Treat everybody you meet like a sibling. If they ain't worthy of your time walk away from them. But don't judge

[SnowHearth]

There is the web, then the deep web, and at last the dark web.
My advice is to never go to place you know you won't return from

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for sharing with us , very well written MyTake of yours ~!!!

[Fortheholidays]

I wonder how vr will play out in relation to the internet. Could be cool or really scary to explore first hand in a virtual body

[caligirl03]

How do people access it?

[myTake Owner]

by using tor browser

[walkietalkie1990]

Thanks for the warning

[razor97]

I've been on the deepweb, it's boring.

[alice55]

This is creepy
