What is Surface Web, Deep Web & Dark Web?

INTRODUCTION Now the world is ruled by the internet. Internet is one of the main sources of transferring data from one to another. The Internet changed the world and usage of the internet is also improved a lot when compared to previous generations. But most people don’t know the dark side of the internet, many are thinking that the internet means the information getting from various places of the world which is unknown for us and some may think that it is an entertainment platform, for kids, it belongs to the gaming place, for business entrepreneurs it a source of advertisement for their business organization, etc… so from the above information, we understood that internet is helpful for many people in the world for different purposes. Here is the main thing we have to discuss, this is not the whole world of the internet. 90% of the people are using this one part of the internet in their life and this part is only 4% of the internet, then what about other 96% lets discuss about this topic: There are 3 parts on the internet, They are: 1. Surface Web 2. Deep Web 3. Dark Web Let’s see the first part of the internet called surface web:  1. SURFACE WEB The surface web is used by a large number of people in day-to-day life. It is also called as visible web in this part of the internet and most people prefer to visit this web daily, the world wide web (www. extension websites) is also available through its part and it can be accessed through formal browsers like google chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc… this web is publically available to all also through this web many communication across the world take place, the communications are like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and many other. Even it is a safe place when compared to the Dark web, online transactions or internet banking, or mobile banking are also done by huge amounts. So the people who explore the surface web or search for any sources know that the result will be displed within a few seconds, but how? Did you ever think about this? Let’s dive into this topic the surface web is consists of web spiders. What are web spiders? Let’s see web spiders mean nothing but if we search for anything it took the keywords from it and it links with the hyperlinked pages or data finally it gives the output for us. Now we know that the surface web is accessible to everyone, But some are not obtainable because they are interlinked with the deep web, what are things interlinked with the deep web? What are they? For example, The username and the password of the owner of the website are not available because they are stored in the deep web not only admin passwords, the result of the students, etc… many are interlinked with deep web and surface web. 2. DEEP WEB Let’s jump into the second part of the internet called the Deep web. It is not accessible through the world wide web and also the browsers like google chrome, firefox, etc. It gives more information than in comparison to data available on the internet, As well as it is more secure. The deep web is an organization of intra web because no one any can obtain the information regarding it only the authorized persons can get access to it. For example, personal data of any organization, medical-based formulas, military secret operations, etc will be stored on the deep web those authorized persons can have the power to access, modify it, and anything done by them. If anyone wants to access the deep web please take the necessary precautions and concerns of any experienced person if you visit blindly there is a chance of taking legal action against you. Also, Particular person information is not indexed by Google or Yahoo, or any search engine of the surface web because it is not available in the surface web. Every year worldwide 100 billion dollars worth of illegal activities are done through this deep web. Everyone thinks that the deep web means only illegal activities but it is useful for many users all around the world. Even now your personal and other data is stored securely on the deep web so change your mindset that the deep web is not only for illegal purposes also useful for many of us and to the government. 3. DARK WEB The most awaited part for you and also for me. The “DARK WEB” is the most dangerous part of the internet some fewer people will surface the dark web with dare it not accessible through the world wide web. The dark web has a separate browser called “TOR BROWSER” which means (THE ONION BROWSER) over this browser we can enter into the dark web and Many hackers, scammers, fraudsters are using the dark web for their activities & they hide their identity so they already keep some part of the Tor browser anonymous & they take some more actions to hide on the internet., Also, data of many big organizations will be put for sale, the payments accepted only by digital money called cryptocurrency, Like bitcoin, etherem, litecoin, etc… The tor browser is created by the U.S.NAVEL RESEARCH LABORATORY the main objective and motive for creating the dark web are to share any secure information of government, secret operations, and many others. There are some search engines to explore the dark web some of them are: Candle, Hidden wiki, DuckDuckGo, Serax, etc. The extensions of the tor browser will end with .onion and Some websites on the Dark Web are overseen by law enforcement agencies & some private companies to keep the Internet safe., Also, want to secure their data. WARNING: If you want to visit the dark web please take certain measures and there are many articles on the internet about the scariest experiences of people without taking necessary measures.
