A Dark side of Internet you know nothing about

Dark Side of Internet

In the 21st Century, the Internet has become a vital part of our lives. We are entirely dependent on the Internet. From getting information to file an income tax return, we can almost do everything on the Internet. It is only because of the Internet our lives had become at ease. Everything can be accessed easily. But what if I tell you that a significant portion of the Internet remains hidden and cannot be accessed by anyone. 

The Internet is divided into three layers. They are -:

  1. Surface Web 
  2. Deep Web 
  3. Dark web.

Now I am going to explain all of the layers in detail. 

What is Surface Web?

The surface web is a part of the World Wide Web whose contents are readily available for the general public and can be accessed by local search engines such as Google, Yahoo, etc. Famous examples of the Surface web is Wikipedia, Amazon, Flipkart, etc. There are a total of 1.5 billion websites on the surface web, but you will be surprised to know that these 1.5 billion websites constitute only ten percent of total sites present on the Internet.

What is a Deep Web?

The deep web is a part of World Wide Webs whose content is not available for the general public and cannot be indexed by any local search engines. They can only be accessed by a specific software configuration and by particular individuals. It is illegal to access deep web because criminal activities take place in these webs. Though everything on the Deep Internet is not illegal, you can read a lot of Government's classified files and share your experience without being detected by an authoritarian regime. In my opinion, the Deep web is the 'Grey Side of the Internet.'

What is the Dark Web?

Dark webs are nothing but a more profound and more mysterious form of the deep web where nothing is legal. Together Deep web and Dark web constitute ninety percent of the total websites present on the Internet. Isn't it refreshing to know that a significant portion of the Internet remains hidden from the reach of the general public?. Dark web or most commonly known as the dark side of the Internet because this place illegal activities take place. It also referred to as "Hotbed of Criminal activities." One can buy credit card numbers, all sorts of drugs, guns, stolen subscription credentials, hire hitmen and hackers, watch strange videos that make no sense at all or read a government classified files or documents proving the existence of Aliens, about the assassination of John F Kennedy or the Russian Sleep Experiment. One can purchase a lifetime Netflix account just at $6 or buy seven prepaid debit cards, each with a balance of $2500 only for $500. 

What is the Use of Deep and Dark Web?

Deep and Dark webs can only be accessed by specific software and are only used by terrorists, professional black hat hackers, and all sorts of Serial killers, pedophiles, etc. The dark web is also used by Journalists and Whistleblowers because they can get a lot of information, which will help them to expose illicit government activities or an organization. General people also use dark webs when it comes to sharing any information if their life threatened or when they avoid detected by the authoritarian regime.

Conclusion 

After thoroughly reading this, I hope that you can understand what deep and dark web are. Even though accessing the deep Internet is not exactly illegal, but I will suggest that you better not try to access these sites because with one wrong click you can become the center of attraction for a terrorist group, a serial killer or a professional black hat hacker which can cause damage which is beyond repair. It goes with an age-old adage, "Knowledge is Power, but Ignorance is Bliss when Knowledge becomes so dangerous." Thank you.
