What Is the Dark Web? How Many Parts Are on Dark Web?
Generally, the part of the Internet that we and you use in everyday life is called the Surface Web. All the websites that we access through search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, all fall in this part. You will be surprised to know that only 4% of the entire internet is surface web. That is, we use only 4% of the Internet. Such web pages that anyone can access publicly are in this hidden wiki of the same Internet. To open these sites no special software or configuration is required nor is any permission required. We can easily access it from browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera. What is deep web? Web pages on the internet which are not indexed by search engines, i.e. they are out of reach of the search engine and we have to log in to access it. These pages cannot be viewed without permission. Just like you cannot read emails without logging into your Gmail account, without creating an account you cannot see your friend's profile page on Facebook. All these web pages are within the deep web itself. You can see their content, but for that you must have an ID and password. What is dark web? We cannot access it from a simple browser. Nor can we reach there through Google; we cannot reach this area through any common search engine. The IPs of websites in the dark web is encrypted through the encryption tool, that is why they are not seen by the search engines. A special type of browser called Tor browser is used to access these hidden sites. These sites can be accessed only by people who know about it. It is the favorite place of criminals and hackers where all kinds of illegal transactions, drugs smuggling, pornography, arms sale, human trafficking, and selling stolen credit card details are committed.
