The Deep Web
1) The start of the deep web was in 1980 with Tim Berner-Lee . In 1994 the term
‘invisible web’ came about thanks to Dr Jill Ellsworth.
2) It’s estimated to be about 500 times the size of the web as we know it. In other words,
96% of the internet is beyond Google’s access
3) The deep web is the part of the internet which isn’t indexed thus, making it invisible to the mainstream public.
4) Downloading the web browser TOR (the onion router, which was originally developed by he US Navy) seems to be the key to the gate that separates us web crawlers from the deep web.
5) Among those that use it are the military, police, journalists, whistle-blowers and real nasty criminals, scum of the scum kinda peeps.
“Journalists in heavily censored countries use the deep web to communicate and exchange information.” Michael Koh
6) Users are anonymous
7) Since users are anonymous there’s an area of the deep web called the dark web which is full of criminal activity like drugs, child porn, weapons trading and hitmen for hire.
8) There’s a directory of sorts in the deep web called Hidden Wiki. thehiddenwiki.org
9) Before accessing the deep web you must take a variety of precautions to keep your identity anonymous. This involves changes to you computer settings.
10) Accessing the deep web without proper precautions might compromise your identity and location.
