When using the internet and web browsers and search engines, have you ever heard or seen the words Dark Web and Deep Web? Probably not. Ordinary internet users don't know these 2 words. Still, the most static and experienced will certainly know that. The words "deep web" and "dark web" are also used interchangeably, but not the same.

Deep Web-only applies to something on the internet that can't be searched using search engines like Google. This means that all sites behind the paywall (restricted access to users who have paid to login to this site), anything that is password-protected or anything that is created in the process and does not have a permanent URL, are said to consist of the deep web because it does not appear on the website surface. Indeed, you frequently navigate the deep web. Email in your Gmail account, your online bank balance, your office intranet, direct Twitter posts, images you post to Facebook, and anonymity. What he will do after leaving the role is currently uncertain. The deep web may also be considered an intangible or secret web, bringing intrigue to be normal. Contrary to the deep web is the web surface where all content can be indexed by search engines like Google. It's not stopping, though. The deep web is also where the raw material is processed, whether by official sources, scientist-used information, or in the form of databases you use for your own analysis.

The dark web is a deep web part, but not the same. Not only can you not find it using search engines, but also via a standard web browser. This is one of the Internet's grim and evil media sides. The dark web is the "home" of an encrypted website containing criminal activity. In a survey involving over 5,000 dark websites, Daniel Moore and Thomas Rid found more than half of them engaging in drug-related extremism, child pornography, and weapons. It's simply a black market online. However, since it is an easy means to interact online undetected, government critics or journalists in every place where the internet is through tight surveillance, and those who don't want to be known online use the dark web. In reality, the Duck Duck Go privacy search engine provides a dark web secret service. Moreover, the privacy-centric search engine runs a secret utility on the dark web. Many dark websites use Tor encryption software, but some applications include I2P and Freenet. You need advanced tools to navigate these resources and their pages. Browsing the dark web in most countries is not illegal, but accessing certain dark web services is certainly illegal. Using the dark web is like going to the internet's early days. Websites typically look fundamentally similar. Several search engines help you find what you want. The easiest way to access a website is through a directory like The Secret Wiki, which lists most of them. Notice that it is extended, which is an unavoidable side effect in the concealment process.
