Deep Web vs Dark Web vs Shadow Web: The Ultimate Guide (In 2019) – A normal tech-savvy guy may not know, but he may not be able to use hidden internet ever in life. What is hidden internet by the way and how does it work?[br][br]What is the difference between the deep web and the dark web? Actually, the whole web or internet has been divided into three total parts i.e. Deep Web and Dark Web and Surface Web. First of all, the surface web is that internet which every normal internet user in the world is using right now.[br][br]In fact, this guide you’re reading on Xclub media is also a part of the surface web only. Thus, the Surface web is a web which can be accessed without any permission from anyone and can be accessed from anywhere on the planet earth (even space). [br][br]Thus the information which can be accessed from a simple google search, or unhidden link of any website or something that’s not unusual on the internet. Thus the websites which have you used till date which is publicly made available such as your songs websites, movies websites, games websites, Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Torrents etc. are the surface web.[br][br]But you will be completely shocked to know that Surface web is just 5% of the whole internet? And, according to the studies remaining 95% of the internet is a deep web. Others may also feel tremor or earth shaking under their legs when they will come to know that Surface Web is just 5% of www content and Deep web is just 96% of www content.[br][br][br]
[br][br]Now, what is stored in the Deep Web? All those data which is stored online on cloud storage whether it is in Google Drive or Dropbox. All the researches and all the important database stores, largest bans of fortune 500 companies, some secret details of any government that cannot be shared publicly.[br][br]Basically, anything that you can never find in a Google Search. To access the deep web, you need a special web address or special server login. Login is mainly required for the permission that you’re eligible to access that data. Thus, you will need permission that you’re eligible to access that information. Because all the information of the deep web is not indexed in Google. [br][br]Deep Web vs Dark Web vs Shadow Web: The Ultimate Guide (In 2019)[br][br]Now, there is one more thing which is called as Dark Web. You’re kindly requested to take care of the Dark Web. Dark web is illegal and should not be used by an individual. Xclub media in no forms promote the use of Dark Web in any manner.[br][br]You can do anything on the dark web, whether it’s a drugs training, arms pieces of training and a lot many things which cannot be discussed here. Like the deep web, the dark web can also not be accessed from Google or any public platform. The dark web can be accessed only using the TOR browser.[br][br]Dark Web is a hub for completely black digital marketing. The TOR browser has its own way of working. The dark web was initially created for the US (United States) Navy. But the TOR browser has expanded like anything in the past and is accessible by lakhs of internet user across the globe. TOR can be used as a VPN (Virtual Proxy Network).[br][br]There are lots of illegal things you can do on the internet, but only after using the TOR browser and in the dark web. So, initially, deep web is just a clear and good web containing important data which cannot be accessed publicly without permission. But, Dark web is something opposite. It can also not be used publicly but is harmful or illegal to use anyway. [br][br]Where does this dark web come from? In 1969 a couple of university students send the world’s first computers to compete for a message. It was sent on ARPANET an early ancestor to the Internet.[br][br]The concept of connecting computers together was a radical idea at the time and at a certain motion, the progression to the modern internet. But ever since there has been the internet or any form of internet, people have used it for illegal online activity.[br][br]Infact, one of the first ever e-commerce transactions was a drug deal in 1970, it was done between two students at MIT and Stanford. In the 1980s, people also attempted to create data heavens in small countries with relaxed laws.[br][br]These early examples were nowhere near as sophisticated as the modern dark web. However, they illustrate the point that they have always been people who wanted to use the web to escape the eyes of the authorities or everyone’s eyes for that matter.[br][br]In the mid-1990s, things started to get interesting, a technology called TOR was created, TOR stands for The Onion Router and this is a browser which allows users to exchange information anonymously online, peer to peer, networks like TOR are the backbone of the dark web.[br][br]For the dark web to exist, it needs anonymity, TOR manages this by hiding the identity of the user by bouncing the connection through three different servers around the world. Adding a layer of encryption each time.[br][br][br]
[br][br]Hence the name Onion. It would be logical to assume that tall was invented by a group of anti-establishment coders and criminals trying to evade government control, looking at the illegal activity of the dark web, this makes sense.[br][br]However quiet paradoxically TOR was invented by the US Naval Research Laboratory to allow intelligence personnel to transfer information securely. Another agency of the US Department of the defence called DARPA further developed TOR and in 2002 they made it available to the public.[br][br]From that very day, TOR is still funded in part by the US government. But why would the US government fund and allow the general public to access TOR? Well, the idea was to make it difficult for anyone to decipher which information on the dark web was created by intelligence officers. [br][br][br]
[br][br]It’s easier to remain anonymous in a sea of anonymous users. Simply, the more users there are, the better. It’s important to note that without TOR, the darknet would still exist. TOR is simply one dark web browser to which there are many.[br][br]It’s kind of like if Google Chrome was shut down tomorrow, the internet would still exist. In 2014, Dr Gareth Owen provided a breakdown of the sites on the dark web by classification.[br][br]His research found that drug marketplaces were by far the most common type of websites in the dark web, followed by other marketplaces included fraud sites and Bitcoin sites which are mainly used for money laundering.[br][br] |
