ENTERING THE WORLD OF THE DARK WEB
Surface web accounts for only 10% of the information that is on internet!Yes you read that right,surface web accounts for the public webpages that are available by any search engine like GOOGLE.While there is another world of the internet containing mysteries and stories of its own and that world is called DARKWEB or DARKNET.
HISTORY OF DARK WEB:
History of dark web is as old as that of internet but officially it was launched in march 2000 by Freenet because the users of internet were concerned more about their privacy and escaping surveillance then surfing the normal web and this led to the rise of the dark web.
CONTENT FOUND ON DARK WEB;
Dark web can be seriously annoying and it`s a very dangerous place for the people that are sensitive in nature and it`s a heaven for pedophiles,drug dealers,hackers and terrorists.Following is a the list of content found on dark web;
DRUGS SELLING
RED ROOMS
ONLINE HITMAN HIRING SERVICES
ORGAN SELLING
BLACK MARKETS FOR GUNS BUYING AND SELLING
ZOOPHILIA
BANK ACCOUNTS HACKING
CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
ILLEGAL DRUGS
SUSPICIOUS LINKS
IS DARK WEB LEGAL OR ACCESSIBLE ?
DARK WEB IS ILLEGAL!
Yet it is accessible and it`s very easy to access darkweb regardless of the content,however you can be seriously in danger if you don`t follow the right way to access it.I am providing this info just for sake of knowledge.
For acessing the darkweb you just need nordvpn and search engine like DUCKDUCKGO but the problem is nordvpn is not free and most users don`t prefer this vpn.
TOR FOR ACCESSING DARK WEB
TOR is an American based software that is specifically designed to provide users complete anonymity and privacy.It comes with a VPN named orfox and the best thing is that the VPN changes your location after every seconds so there is not even a little chance of getting caught by law agencies.its the most popular one among the users of darkweb
SUBGRAPH
SUBGRAPH is basically a software that is designed to provide users an escape from surveillance and interference by Internet police!!!It is the same system mentioned by the greatest hacker of all time : EDWARD SNOWDEN.
TAILS
TAILS is also a security focused linux based software and it`s all connections are forced to go through tor to provide users a safe searching space with complete anonymity but you guys have to pay for it.
WHY PEOPLE USE DARK WEB?
In my view the main reason for accessing dark web is not privacy but to see the content which is not available on normal web.
