A beginners guide to Darknet also known as Deep Net or the Hidden Internet

Every term you type in any search engines like Google or bing or yahoo, you get a large number of pages. One can estimate the hidden size of the Internet by considering the no. of sites that exist for searching n amount of sentences, and you will be amaze by the results that Google, Yahoo or Bing would offer. This is the only bit www is visible and known to users. But what actually search engines are doing are “just scratching the surface”.  But there exists  the web that is beyond the scope of regular Search Engines.  And the remaining web is also known as Deep Net or the Hidden Internet, but to most of them it is known as the Dark Net.

Let’s Start

The Dark Net, Deep Net or The Hidden Internet (common names).  The website on the Dark Net are anonymous that means you will not be able to know the website owner or to whome the website belongs too. Over the usual Internet, a non-indexed website owner or website developer can be tracked by doing some Internet searches or wondering to different sites. However, web pages on the Dark Net or say Dark Web are using the TOR (The Onion Router) network and  the foundation of the TOR is to include numerous nodes, so the source is not traceble.

Also, standard browsers are not able to load the Dark Net sites that end up with a dot onion domain. Onion makes such domains, and it’s terms so that you are to host our web paage using Onions services or TOR network. That’s why the DNS (Domain Name System) computers will not be able to track your website becoz of the dot onion domain, and you will get your separate web page on the Dark Net. Only the Onion hosts know how to handle such domain addresses.

Is this safe to browse the Dark Net?

All safety depends on you. What you are looking for? You can create a private chat room where you can talk with your friends, or you can also hire a person for the  wet job(for the wrong work). It could be a journalist for exchanging of intelligence documentation, or someone selling illegal drugs. There are also websites that sell unlicensed weapons.

If you are willing to analyze the types  of sites that are accessible on the darknet, then a majority of web sites usually belongs to the Gangsters. Why, due to the fact that it gives you full anonymity. You will find some forum where people will be talking about suicides, murders and the odd things they did. And If you have a week heart than don’t even think to search that!

Why Government not closing Dark Net?

The Onion Routing Network service was started by the US armed forces for secret communications. They continue to store vital records, documents, etc onto the darknet. They communicate via Intranet where everything is stored, and only some users with passwords have access to them. Now our gov. is also using it, so it would not be a good idea to shut it down.

How to access the Dark Net?

To access the hidden web you need two things – for starter The Onion Browser (also known as TOR Browser) that can access dot onion pages and a search engine or web page that can help you to search the dark web.

Recently there are many websites that are known as the deep web directories. Since they are hidden and are unable to search due to the reason that they are not listed correctly. Most of the links on such directories do not guide you where the link will lead to. However, before making a deal over the dark web with some illegal person keep in mind that you are under the eye of your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

For starters, the TOR directory is the safest thing to be around. It consist of secure directories you can also check where they link will lead you. Example http://am4wuhz3zifexz5u.onion/
