Deep web: What is deepweb?

To understand what exactly is deepweb, you have to first understand how Internet is different from the World Wide Web. This explanation will be free from as much technical jargons as possible.

The Internet is actually a platform for sharing information. It is up to you how you wish to share that information. The World Wide Web has its main theme around the idea that there will be a host which stores information and the client which receives it, usually through a software called Web browser. Now that is their method of communicating data between digital machines. Take the example of a torrent network, they also share information within the Internet but they have their own set of software and network rules or methods to operate. This is the same case with the deepweb, it is just like the World Wide Web. The both are platforms, to different platforms working on the Internet to share data between machines.

The fact that this network is not centralised a.k.a. not controlled or censored by any authority opens up in many creative uses for it. The things that you could not do on the Internet for both technical and legal reasons can now be done on the deepweb.

So how do you connect to the deepweb?

There does not exist a singular deepweb platform. Numerous source platforms exist today, some of them easily accessible by public, some of them public but hard to find. And then there are those deepweb networks which were made by individuals or organisations specifically for their secure and private use.

As some deepweb platforms are totally private and out of the reach and scrutiny of governments and legal authorities worldwide, it opens up a can of whole new worms. People can now commit and exchange information related to digital and even physical crimes over the Internet. In the coming articles, you’ll see examples that will prove this case.

TOR Network

The most famous and widely used to deepweb network is called the Tor network. It is an open source and completely free network managed by THE ONION ROUTER. The onion router only manages the network, it cannot control it. All the servers and computers used by the Tor network run the same standard open source software, so there is no way that they could log your activity or even allow somebody else to monitor it. The Tor network is also home for various illegal and criminal activity websites.
