Surface web, deep web and dark web




 

 Not everything can be accessed by you on the internet. A large part of net is hidden. Let's know about it.

 

SURFACE WEB- It is the part of the internet that everyone can access through their browser and can search it on the search engine. It comprises of only about 3-4% of internet. The major part of net can not be accessed by you. It is hidden. 

When using the Surface Web, you access data directly from the source.

This direct approach tracks the information downloaded, from where and when it was accessed, and your exact location.

Files are shared through any number of computers connected to the internet that hold the information you need. This is known as peer-to-peer networking.

 

 

The hidden part of the net comprises of Deep web(can be legal or illegal but mostly it is legal) and Dark net(illegal). Let's see what is it. 

 

DEEP WEB-  Deep web is that part of the net that is hidden. It basically contains legal information of any company that cannot be seen by public but only by them. It also contains information of army or and country or recipe of any company etc. It is also known as the ‘Invisible Web’, it is the content that cannot be indexed by search engines. And it is hard to keep track of.
Information on the Deep Web cannot be accessed directly. This is because data is not held on any single page, but rather in databases, which makes it difficult for search engines to index.

 In order to access the Deep Web, you need to use a dedicated browser. TOR (The Onion Router) is the most commonly used.

This method of sharing encrypted data makes it difficult for your location, and the kind of information you access, to be tracked or monitored.

 

 

IS IT LEGAL TO SURF DEEP WEB ? 

Yes. You use it as you would any other internet browser. Many people are now beginning to use TOR as a way to maintain their privacy whilst online.

  • Who else uses it:

    • Military
    • Police and crime units
    • Journalists
    • Whistleblowers
      • Edward Snowden
      • Julian Assange

      

     

DARK WEB-  The part of the internet which is also hidden but it contains illegal information only. Ilegal work is done here. Illegal work like torturing, drug smuggling, black marketing etc are held here. You can hire hitman here or can buy guns illegally. It is illegal to surf dark web and you could get arrest if you are caught surfing it. So it is advisable not to surf it. Because there are illegal things only then if you will surf it, you are also considered that you are involved  in doing illegal things. 

You can be in big trouble if you will surf it. There are some things or videos that no one should see as it maybe harmful for you. So do not ever surf it. Otherwise you can be in a big trouble.
