What is the deep/dark web and how do you access it?steemCreated with Sketch.

What is the deep web? If you don’t know, consider yourself lucky. The deep web consists of hidden websites that you need a special browser and a direct link to access. It’s completely anonymous, so obviously, some seriously heinous stuff goes down there. Selling and buying drugs is the most innocuous thing you can do on it.

The deep web is where search engines have not indexed the information, and so “invisible” to the mainstream public.

A 2001 study done at University of California, Berkeley estimated the deep web to consist of about 7.5 petabyes (or 7,500 gigabytes) of information. In a 2003 study, that number increased to 91,850 petabytes. Researchers also estimated that to the 1 billion indexed pages on the internet (in 2001), there were 550 billion in the deep web.

To access this part of the internet, you need to download The Onion Router, heretoforth referred to as TOR. TOR is an anonymous network of nodes that are intended to mask the user’s IP and protect the privacy of the user.You can read banned books on TOR.

Anonymous sellers advertise their goods on topic-specific forums. Like copied credit cards on a credit card fraud board.And people can purchase fake identification too. An American passports would set you back 700 Euros, or 973.91 USD.

Of course, there’s no cash or check exchanged over the deep web. To exchange goods, you need to use bitcoin — but you knew this already. Use Coinbase now that Mt. Gox is insolvent.

Journalists in heavily censored countries use the deep web to communicate and exchange information.

Clicking on a wrong link (with JavaScript enabled on your browser) can mean the end of your life (not really). A JavaScript exploit can be used to upload malware into the user’s computer — meaning a keylogger can be installed without your knowledge and your passwords will be compromised.

Death Grips released an album titled No Love Deep Web — and there’s some semblance of reality there, because there really is no love on the deep web.

IS IT LEGAL?

So now you may think then how can I access the deep web?..Actually accessing deep web is very easy..All you have to do is simply install Tor browser Bundle and then visit any one of the deep web links found here using tor browser.
