What is the dark web? How to access it and what you'll find? Deep web vs. dark web: What’s the difference?

1 The dark web is a part of the Internet that isn't The dark web is a part of the Internet that isn't

indexed by search engines. You've no doubt heard talk of

the “dark web” as a hotbed of criminal activity — and it is.

4 Researchers Daniel Moore and Thomas Rid of King's College

in London classified the contents of 2,723 live dark web sites

over a five-week period in 2015 and found that 57% host

7 illicit material.

You can buy credit card numbers, all manner of

drugs, guns, counterfeit money, stolen subscription

10 credentials, hacked Netflix accounts and software that helps

you break into other people’s computers. Buy login

credentials to a \$50,000 Bank of America account,

13 counterfeit \$20 bills, prepaid debit cards, or a “lifetime”

Netflix premium account. You can hire hackers to attack

computers for you. You can buy usernames and passwords.

16 However, not everything is illegal; the dark web

also has a legitimate side. For example, you can join a chess

club or BlackBook, a social network described as the “the

19 Facebook of Tor”.

The terms “deep web” and “dark web” are

sometimes used interchangeably, but they are not the

22 same. Deep web refers to anything on the Internet that is

not indexed by and, therefore, accessible via a search

engine like Google. Deep web content includes anything

25 behind a paywall or requires sign-in credentials. It also

includes any content that its owners have blocked web

crawlers from indexing.

28 Medical records, fee-based content, membership

websites, and confidential corporate web pages are just a

few examples of what makes up the deep web. Estimates

31 place the size of the deep web at between 96% and 99% of

the Internet. Only a tiny portion of the Internet is accessible

through a standard web browser — generally known as the

34" clear web”.

The dark web is a subset of the deep web that is

intentionally hidden, requiring a specific browser — Tor — to

37 access. No one really knows the size of the dark web, but

most estimates put it at around 5% of the total Internet.

Again, not all the dark web is used for illicit purposes despite

40 its ominous-sounding name.
