Friends welcome to my Youtube channel The Content Junction
And today we will discuss about a very interesting Topic
which is Darkweb
Yes you heard it right, In the Internet and online world
and online world
it is dark truth hidden from the eyes of people
which is called as The dark web
To put it in simple words
in a way it is the younger brother of Internet
ooops.. sorry not younger but the youngest brother
of Internet which is kind of hiding in a closed room
whereas Internet is visible to everyone
and is a part of the outside world
Now you might be having a question in your mind
that is there anyone else also in between the internet or
dark web, then the answer to it is yes
and what lies in between them is deep web
however today
in this video we will talk in details about Dark web
Friends to explain you in an easy way
the online or lets say the internet world is like this glacier or
iceberg
where some part of it is visible on the surface
and major portion of it is submerged under the water
similarly out of all of the online
activities or the web universe
only 5 % to 10%
is surface web which is visible to us and part of our daily life
and called as internet
internet  but remaining 90% of it is that portion
of the online web which we can’t see
which is in the form of
deep web
and dark web
its invisible and concealed to us. Out of this 90%  of the online world mostly is deep web which has private databases and
web resources which means information and data stored over the internet
or online world
which are intentionally kept out of reach of the common public
because it has details like medical records
banking details
personal information, companies private information
and government secret data
We can’t view or download such data via your regular internet browsers
being a
common person
person unless you have a special permission
or rights assigned for it
That’s why the data stored on deep web
are unsearchable by the internet search engines
like google, etc.
because they are
saved on private databases and are not indexed
or not listed on
internet
The data on deep web
is highly secured and a lot of security measures are taken to keep
its safety intact
Now, we come back to the main topic of discussion which
is Dark web
The dark web can be
accessed by a common person
however in order to do so
he or she should have special dark web
browsers
like the TOR browser which means The
Onion Router
and on dark web our regular internet browsers
like internet explorer, chrome
or Firefox don’t work
You must be finding the name of darkweb browser that is TOR
The Onion router a bit weird
but there is a reason behind this name
the way onion has multiple layers
that skin over skin
which are one over the other
similarly dark web browser design also has several layers
and it also does data encryption
of the data from sent over the dark web
encryption is basically a kind of special coding
of the data so that during its transmission
so no one
can hack or
decipher the data easily
That’s why some people use dark web
and their identity
unlike internet here is kept quite secret
and therefore these people
at various placess
use it
The manner in which the website over the internet or surface web have .com, .net
.org towards the end of their name , on the dark web the websites have .onion at their end
To understand dark web well
lets start from the evolution of internet
In 1969 at California university in America
for the first time students over there
sent message from one computer to another within the local network
and that was the beginning of internet
Thereafter Pentagon’s Defense Advance Research Project
Agency
further developed it
And that’s how initially internet
became a military byproduct
Then it is said that in 1990 USA that is America
felt that there is need
of an online network
or virtual world
which is much more safe than internet
and it can be used by its Intelligence operatives
which means spy
where in its also secret. People say
that’s how they started working on TOR project
which means The Onion router project which was made later on
for dark web access
However, then a question comes mind then why did they let their secret network
reach the common masses, and there is a
very interesting reason said for it
that perhaps the US army at a later stage realized
that if common public
also starts using dark web
then it will become more difficult for any other country or competitive organization
to trace the messages of their spies
and it will become
more safe
because if there are more people on dark web then it will lead to more traffic over there and thus to identify them will not be easy
Moreover the fact that dark web is accessible only by special dark web browsers
like TOR
and all the messages sent over the dark web are
specially coded or encrypted provides it
more stealth
The most important feature of dark web
is that the traffic which means
the message sent by anyone
is taken by TOR browser through an unusually long way or network
though normally not required
and during this long route TOR keeps sending the data thousands of times
here and there
which make it difficult to trace it or to find out the IP address
that is the internet protocol address
of the sender
Anyways
we come back again to 2002
the world got the TOR browser and it is said that
it was made initially to help the American intelligence operatives
but then within a few years
the dark web websites which were accessible through TOR browser
got flooded with Hollywood copyright infringement, Microsoft licenses like office, etc.
pirated licenses
and products
and other illegal products or services
People also started liking it as they
felt that on the dark web they can go and easily
purchase such things
without disclosing their identity
Just imagine someone at dark web buying things
which were stolen from some store, so strange it is
Then in 2009
a major change took place
when a person named Satoshi Nakamoto
started for the first time a virtual currency
currency in the online world as crypto currency
when he mined the first bitcoin
This seemed to be very suitable for dark web
as bitcoin was very different from physical money
and it was difficult to trace it as well which means
where it is hidden its difficult to find
Thereafter people started using it to hide black money
and to buy things on dark web through it
It is said that nowadays over the
dark web to buy products or services only bitcoin or virtual or crypto currency
is being used now extensively
Guys you might find it a bit shocking
that on dark web also there are market places similar to the likes of amazon, etc. which we have on our internet
but the dark web market places
have other names and there also the sellers are
being rated by buyers
and they also give
and share
reviews for them
It is also said that whatever one buys on the darkweb
its delivery is also done very secretly like in P.O. Box
or a private letter box in a hidden manner
There were some of the market places at dark web
like Silk road
Alphabay market
and Hansa market
which were not there on the internet also referred as surface web but are or were there on darkweb secret services
or onion services at TOR network
There is also a much talked about case
of 2011
when a modern market place owner of darkweb
was arrested for selling or helping to sell illegal products and unlawful services
at darkweb through his site silkroad and
he was sentenced at that time
life imprisonment without parole
Its not so that darkweb is illegal
but if you do an illegal work or become a part of any unlawful activity
over there then you will surely have to face legal consequences
for such actions
Some of the features of darkweb at times
attract certain bad people and they think that
they will be never be caught on dark web
but its not completely true
You might be surprised to know that
Facebook has onionservices
and also The NewYork Times has onionservice
Whenever someone goes to
TOR Network for first time
on Darkweb then he or she usually visits darknet market list, The onion -
directory, and the hidden wiki
at the dark web
The reason that there are also a lot of hackers on dark web
who hack and steal the personal data of people and sell it over dark net
that’s why also everyone avoid going to dark web
However, still if someone ever visits darkweb which is not recommended by us at all
then he or she should take following precautions  definitely
like block your computer or laptop camera by physically putting a tape on it
also use for security reasons
VPN which is virtual private network along with TOR
browser
disable your computer or laptop mike
use an anonymous email account
if required on dark web
don’t share any personal details over dark web
and also ensure that there is no data
pictures, or soft copy of documents on your laptop or computer
before visiting dark web
Guys we should never do or become a part of anything wrong
and specially should never assume that
no one can be caught on darkweb
because its not true
The Governments in world have tried several times
to shut down dark web
previously also
but its difficult because to find out is hard
that where the traffic is travelling
on darkweb an to whom the data is being
sent to as in its destination source
However, its not impossible to do so
and it has been done sunccessfully by governments in past too
My personal opinion is that one should
avoid going to dark web at all
