IT'S NOT ALL THAT DARK

The Internet Behind the Internet

An average person using a computer along with an Internet connection can get access to a hell lot of information. Yet, there exists an entire world, which is unseen by your daily web browser.

Those hidden areas of the Internet are known as the Dark Web. Still it is not difficult to access the tools you can use to get to the deep web. Nowadays, more and more people want to use the Web secretly by signing in.

All the ‘House of Cards’ fans may be able to recall the Deep Web used into the plot of one of the seasons. The character named Lucas, who is a newspaper editor by profession, was trying to find a hacker. And he gets a little crash course from one of his reporters as follows: About ninety-six percent of the Internet cannot be accessed through standard search engines. Although the majority of it is useless, this is the place where you go if you want to find anything of everything: Bitcoin laundry, narcotics, child porn, and hackers for hire ...

Leading researchers believe that the show got it almost right. However, they should have shown a clear difference between what’s called the Deep Web and what the Darknet sites are.

Simply put, the Deep Web is anything that is not accessible through the standard, commercial search engines.
