Deep Web

What is it?
The Deep Web or Dark Web makes up the majority of the web where most people have no access to the Deep Web's visibility. The Deep Web requires authorization as well as other programs and configurations in order for access. There are different levels of Deep Web access (think like that of Dante's Inferno) as well as types of information that reside in the Deep Web. The Deep web is also known for illicitness and illegality; however, this is just a small portion of bandwidth. A lot of the Deep Web are governments private networks as well as conversation forums for those who wish to remain anonymous.

Accessing the Deep Web
The easiest way to access the Deep Web is through browsers like Tor which come with built-in authorizations. It is also suggested, depending on your actions during your time in the Deep Web, that you have other precautions in place, like VPN's as well as IP Scramblers. There are problems when accessing the Deep Web, as it is connected to dangerous users that can accessing your computer or data. Some Deep web users go as far as disconnecting or covering their webcams to hid from those malicious users. Tor handles randomizing your network and automatically connecting you when it's communication paths are ready. There are however domains that Tor does not allow access to due to the nature of specific website domains. Collections of sites like that of the Silk Road and I2P require more communication levels and encryption protocols.

What is on the Deep Web
The Deep Web is home to many different types of sites. There are those like the Silk Road which is home to many illegal activities such as drug trafficking, weapon trade, and links to access viruses and hacking programs. There are other areas that are in uses by governments to keep the information in them locked off from the rest of the web. The Deep Web does not regulate the information presented. Countries that like to censor Internet information take further steps to try and block the Deep Web. This is also an outlet for those who need answers but need to remain anonymous; Dee Web places like forums allow experts to answers questions for inquisitive yet very private individuals. An example of this is drug users getting advice, who in the public domain would have fear of being arrested.
