What is Dark web, Deep web and Surface web

What is Dark web, Deep web and Surface web

·         

The Internet which we use or which is known as www (World Wide Web) is divided into three parts.

    1. Surface Web: Websites which are used by us or generally which are available on Google and it is only the 4% of complete Internet.

    2. Deep Web: Website which cannot be access by everyone but they are present on Google. They are present with different addresses or they are hidden. We can access those websites but we do not know about them and some of them also requires particular username and password to access.

    3. Dark Web: We can’t directly access to these type of websites with our ISP or through any of the browser (Chrome, Internet explorer, UC browser etc.). These are also not available on Google or anything.

We can access to these webs as well through our own Internet, ISP and SIM only, which is possible through some technology, algorithm, encryption and onion routing.

Generally when you surf any website like Google they know everything about you or they do get all your information which means nothing is secure.

                                    ONION ROUTING 

Onion routing is the method by which you can surf any website anonymously or without showing your identity to that websites.

In onion routing you surf websites with different-different VPN’s in the same time so backtracking is not possible for number of VPN’s which results in your identity is hidden or safe. But you have to use those VPN’s on your own which takes too much time in loading a video or website and you will not get access because of time out connection.

And for this “TOR” browser is used, because it already has list of VPN’s and your IP also automatically changes in sometime.

NOTE: TOR browser is legal and developed for protecting our privacy by hiding the identity and location etc. details.

There are some websites by the domain  “.onion”  which you can access through TOR browser only and not through any other browser. Those websites are hosted websites means they are private. So when you surf any “.onion”  website through TOR browser your identity is safe and no one can get your any information because of private connection and you are surfing with the help of different-different VPN’s whose backtracking is not possible. That’s why  Dark webs can be or they are dangerous and also many illegal works take place on it because no one knows who is hosting or surfing the website.

So I suggest please do not visit these type of sites. TOR browser is completely legal and even sponsor by the Google and the US Govt. But still it’s not safe because many illegal works like drug dealing etc. takes place in these sites or webs because the identity is hidden. If someone is stopping you from visiting those sites then the reason is that, professional hackers can hack you, because who knows if you are visiting any site and that site only had hacked you..!

The complete network is like open source. TOR is safe but some websites (unknown) are not safe because who is hosting the site is anonymous and it is same for all the sites in TOR browser. Facebook also has a domain with ‘.onion’ which you can access only through TOR browser.

FACEBOOK DOMAIN: facebookcowwwi.onion

So if you want to create a website with ‘.onion’ domain then that is also possible and completely free as well.

 Downloading and Testing:

1)  Firstly you have to download the TOR browser from www.torproject.org . The file will be of nearly 50mb something.

NOTE: i) Please download it from the official website only because downloading it from other websites can put viruses in your Laptop or PC.

ii) In some countries the TOR project website is blocked or censored and it is not possible to download TOR directly.

2)  After downloading, run the file and extract it. Tor works with different-different VPN’s so when you start the Tor it will ask you to configure the VPN or connect. Simply click on connect and it will automatically provide you the available VPN and IP address of any country (which is fake and your real IP address is different).

3)  For testing it there will be an option of ‘test for network setting’ on welcome page of Tor. Click on the option and you can see your IP address (which is Fake address).

4)  Now go to chrome or any browser and check your real IP address on Google.

5)  To know more about your fake IP address copy the address from Tor and check the details of it on any other browser on google.

You won’t get any single detail about it because everything is unknown and anonymous and this is what the Tor browser is about “Privacy”.

  TO CREATE A WEBSITE WITH <.ONION> DOMAIN:

There are bunch of videos for it. Please check any video because that is little bit tricky thing and video will make you understand better.
