• The internet is a much, much bigger place than you
probably realise. You know about Facebook, Google, BBC
iPlayer and Amazon, but do you really know what's
lurking beyond those user-friendly and respectable
websites?
• This is but a tiny corner of the internet, and the Dark
Web and the Deep Web loom in much shadier corners.
• Using Tor you can access them, but should you even
want to visit the Dark Web or the Deep Web?
• Let's take a tour to help you make up your mind.

• Indexable by conventional
search engines.
• Also known as Clearnet.
• A traditional search engine
sees only a small amount of
the information that is
available (4%)[Source:-
OEDB].

• Everything not found by a search
engine’s spider program is part of
the deep web
• Most webpages on the internet are
not indexed by search engines
• Some experts estimate that as much
as 96% of the entire internet is
Deep web content

• It’s not same as Deep Web
• It is mostly used by Hackers,
Mafias, Smugglers and many other
Criminals.
• It’s known as darker side of the net
because we can get any hidden
information from here.
• Anyone can find Copyrighted Media
,drugs, Hitman ,Hackers, Weapons
etc. from here.

• The Dark Web is not the Deep Web;
it’s only part of the Deep Web.
• Taking on the mining tunnel
metaphor, the Dark Web would be the
deeper portions of the Deep Web that
require highly specialized tools or
equipment to access.
• It lies deeper underground and site
owners have more reason to keep
their content hidden.

• 1994, Jill H. Ellsworth used to refer term “invisible
web” to refer the websites which are not
registered to the search engines.
• In 1996, Mike Bergman What the invisible web is.
• The first use of specific term “Deep web” occurred
in 2001.
• Used to communicate for military purposes during
its early stages.

• A browser used to setup
specific connections which is
required to access the
darknet.
• It is difficult to trace the
activities of the user when
connected in the tor network.
• It is a free and legal tool used
for anonymous browsing.

• The Hidden Sites ends with .onion domain rather than .com, .in
or any other visible domain
• Tor was developed by U.S. Naval Research Lab. For private
communications.
• As it was a great tool for anonymity, so it didn’t take a long fir
criminal minded people to use this network.
• Using Tor is not illegal, it is a open source program which is
based on firefox resource mainly used for security purpose.

• The most infamous of
the onion site was Silk
Road.
• It was an online market
place where users can
buy drugs, guns, and all
sort of illegal items

• Red room is the website where viewer is
shown video on his demand.
• It generally contains explicit harassment and
torture of subject by some person of evil
intention.
• The higher the torture more the money
demanded
• Cases Of Red Room:-
1. ISIS saying that they will behead the
turkish soldier on some specific date
and specific time and it will be live.
2. “The daisy destruction” which shook
the internet world and it is one of the
most horrific case until now of child
abuse.

• The legend of Mariana's Web appears to get its
name from the deepest part of the ocean,
Mariana's Trench.
• It's supposedly the deepest part of the web, a
forbidden place of mysterious evil or at least,
that's the myths a subset of online believers has
cultivated.
• Also known as Zion, domains use a .clos domain
and .loky domains.
• Information on how to access this part of the
web is very difficult to find, so a lot of people
either don't believe it or believe in the wrong
information about it.

• It’s basically an encrypted digital
currency.
• Bitcoin is good for transactions of
all kinds, and notably, it allows for
anonymity; no one can trace a
purchase, illegal or otherwise.
• When paired properly with TOR, it
will be perhaps the best foolproof
way to buy and sell

• browsing dark (deep) web is not illegal but
also it’s not legal.
• their are no laws applicable on browsing dark
web within the territories of our country, you
cannot be imprisoned just by browsing it.
• On what I have heard about it, I’d advise one to
stay away from it, because of the following
points:
1. YOU CAN ACCIDENTALLY GET
INVOLVED IN ILLEGAL STUFF.
2. YOU CAN BE TRACED.
3. You can end up behind bars
if you try to buy illegal
arms, or get involved in
illegal hacking activities,
child-porn etc.

• Even though a majority of the websites on the Dark web
deal with illegal activities, websites such as Facebook, The
Intercept, ProPublica have a version with .onion URL —
nothing illegal happening here.
• Journalists, whistleblowers and internet activists use the
Dark web to circumvent restrictions as well as to maintain
anonymity and privacy while exchanging information.
• No tool on the internet is bad in essence, but it’s the reason
it’s being used for that makes it so. Similarly, the Dark web
isn’t completely a thing of evil.
