• Welcome to the Deep Web – the part of the web that is invisible for the systems and search mechanisms in the internet. Social network, file share and photo sharing websites, airline booking systems and all kind of scientific data are inside the web. This hidden content is estimated to represent 94% to 96% of all world wide web which we cannot access from the traditional search engines.

• This Deep Web, with a cloak of invisibility that technology provides, allowed the use and growth of a new internet: decentralized, encrypted, dangerous e far beyond the law.

• While the vast majority of the Deep Web are dangerous websites with useful and relevant information, there is a portion of it that is accessed by the use of a resources called TOR, the darkest place on the internet. It is a collection of websites (with . onion extension), only accessible by this special software. This system is used by all of those that, in their online activity do not want to be traced. To do that, the underlying model allows a retransmission system that sends data between different computers using TOR across the world. In the last decade, it became a famous place for black markets that sell or distribute drugs (as an example, the famous Silk Road), stolen credit card data, porn, illegal media and many more.

• The Deep Web deserves, therefore, to be analysed in order to determine whether we should or not change the way we explore information and online elements. Questions such as privacy and the threats that can arise from it. We should understand what are the opportunities that are available to both organizations and individuals.

This is what we, the web user, we see… with a Browser


How many of you are still using this …


This is what you can see with another well know browser : TOR


But there is another Reality Where is the problem ?

Deep Side vs Dark Side

Deep Label Side :

End Users may use it without

knowing

• Overlay Networks

• P2P Networks

• Content Deliver Networks

• InterCloud Networks

Dark Label Side

• Where we have to be extremely careful

• Definition

• Usage

• Net vs Web

• Privacy & Encryption


Tentative Classification Deep WEB Layers


Tentative Classification Deep WEB Layers


Level 5 Marianas Web

Hypothetical

Levels 6-8

• Where are conspiracy theorists.

• Level 6 : kind of firewall to restrict

user for going deeper.

• Level 7 : “The Fog” or PrimArch

super admin – geek net. Clearly

very dangerous, droppers &

Malwares, etc..

• Level 8 : PrimArch / may be AI

controlled running on quantum

computer.

• Deepest known level of the web

• A parallel naming with deepest Ocean Trench https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_Trench

• Extremely difficult to reach, safest web from a privacy point of view.

• Julian Assange and top-level Wikileaks members are conviced to get access.

TOR


Access Through The Onion Router

• Build on a Firefox browser

• Simple, anyone can get it

• Host machine is untraceable

• Can stay anonymous

• Can access Darknet

• Can see .onion extensions

• Doesn’t protect against vulnerabilities
