What is the Dark Web?

Do you know what the Dark Web is and how it works? Nowadays almost everybody uses the internet. People use the Internet for different kinds of work like reading news, watching videos, using social media, etc. We normally use the web to do exchange of information, which is called the World Wide Web.

What is the dark web?

You know that whatever information is on the web, we can easily access it with the help of our Web Browser. But you will be surprised to know that whatever we do daily access on the internet and which we can easily search in any search engine, it is only 4% of the entire internet, 96% of the rest is a common man search. 

All the search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, they can explore only 4% of the entire web. This shows that a large part of the Internet is out of our reach. This largest part of the Internet is called Deep Web and Dark Web. In this article, we will know, what the Dark Web is and why we all people call it dangerous?

 What is the Dark Web?

The internet or web we use is divided into three parts which are given below -

1. Surface Web 

2. Deep Web 

3. Dark Web

In this, Surface Web is the web that can be explored by search engines like Google, Bing, etc., which means we can open all the websites that come within the Surface Web through these search engines. Furthermore, the part of the Web that cannot be explored by these search engines because Google and other search engines are prohibited from indexing and crawling these websites.

But if we have the URL of that website, then that website can be opened by search engine but these passwords remain protected. This type of web is called Deep Web. It contains information about Banking Information, Database Information, and Secret Agency.

Also, the Dark Web is such a part of the entire Web that neither search can be done by any search engine like Google, etc. nor can they be opened. A Dark Web website cannot be opened by a common browser such as Chrome, Opera, and Firefox, etc. It is opened with the help of a different browser called Tor Browser. Tor Browser is also known as Dark Web Browser.

The Dark Web is called the Internet black part because it contains all the illegal things like Drug Selling, Hacking, and Pornography, etc. These things happen in this because it is difficult to track anyone in the dark web.

How Does Dark Web Work?

The website of the dark web is completely different from a normal website because it can neither be searched by a search engine nor can be opened by a common browser such as Chrome, Opera, and Firefox. It is opened with Tor Browser. Apart from this, the domains of these websites are also not like the common domain, it contains websites by doing.

how does the dark web work?

It is opened with the TOR browser and it is also necessary to have a VPN. If you do not have a VPN, you can still open the Dark Web because it already has some VPNs. VPN is used in Dark Web because the website cannot track visitors. Let's understand it well -

Whenever we visit a website, our IP address goes to its server, with the help of which we can be tracked like our ISP (Internet Service Provider), Location, Device information, etc. But if any website is visited using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), then our real IP will not go to it, but the IP of that VPN will go. In this way, we find it difficult to track. The same happens in the Tor Browser. VPN is used to stop tracking and VPN changes every 5 to 10 minutes in the Tor Browser, which also changes the user's IP.

How to access the dark web? 

A VPN and Tor Browser are required to access this Web because it cannot be accessed from a normal browser. Surfing the Dark Web well can be quite difficult for a normal user as you do not easily get these Link in it. Anyway, there is no need for Dark Web for a normal user. To run this Web, Tor Browser has to be installed on the computer first. Then after that, you will be connected to Tor's network by clicking on Connect.

After connecting you will be shown your IP Address on Tor Dashboard which will not be your Real IP. Meaning if you visit any website, the same IP will go on its server. But still, you cannot hide completely, if you do any Hacking Activity, then you can be tracked. If Main talks, then people use this to hide their identity so that any website they are visiting does not know about them.

Why not run Dark Web – is the dark web illegal?

Anyway, there is no work for us on the Dark Web, so we should not run this Web. Let us know about why the Dark Web is dangerous -

1. Hacking - 

Almost all types of Hacking are on this Web because it is difficult to track hackers. In this, the Hacker hides in such a way that his IP changes every minute. There are many types of viruses on the Dark Website, if you visit, then your system can be infected.

2. Illegal Information -

Illegal information is bought and sold on this. Whether it is the data of a website or the information of a debit or credit card. According to the recent news, the Debit Card information of about 1.5 million Indians was being sold. Many such illegal things are kept on Dark websites.

3. Cyber ​​Attack –

If you do not know much about this Web, then you should not run the Dark Web, because many websites on this are made from Purpose to hack people. If you visit these websites, then your computer can be hacked so that all the data on your computer can go to them. Apart from this, they can also access your computer's webcam.

History of Dark Web:

It was invented when some people thought that the Internet could not be surfed anonymously, because when the World Wide Web was invented, some organizations had difficulty in conducting their secret communication. The reason for this was that earlier websites were not as encrypted so that hackers easily hacked these websites and leaked the data.

This Web was carried out by the US Navy for governmental operations in the mid-1990s. The main job of this project was to communicate secretly between the government's works. After this, it was made public in 2004 so that everyone could save their privacy on the Internet. Now people access it through Tor Browser.

What is the Deep Web and how is it different from the Dark Web?

In a way, this Web is a part of the Surface Web and is completely different from the Dark Web. Some people believe that it is much larger than Deep Web and it is a part of Deep Web. This is completely wrong because it is much smaller than the Deep Web and the Dark Web is completely different from both the Surface Web and the Deep Web. The reason is that if we have a link to the Deep Web, we can open it with our Normal Browser. While the Dark Web can only be visited from Tor Browser.

In this article what is Dark Web, it has been told with complete transparency. Most of the data on the entire Internet is only in the Deep Web because all the secret things that are there are kept on it. It is believed that about 90% of the Deep Web belongs. Let us understand the Deep Web with an example.

An example of Deep Web:

Just like if you use Google Drive, only you can see the data of your drive because you have the key to access it. Now such information is hidden from Google or other search engines so that no one can see the data you have saved. The same if you share the link of your Drive file to someone and give it an Access Key, then they can search that link in any search engine, and with the help of the Access, the key can see that information which was in your link.
