One of the main problem in deep web is that it can’t be generally crawled by search engines web crawlers.In
an surface web the sites are being indexed and can be found later on
while searching but when it comes here it is not possible to index them.
For performing the entry into deep web one must have Tor Browser installed in his machine.
Tor Browser
In order to get access to deep web one
must be anonymous and to stay that way must install the tor browser. It
uses a Peer-to-Peer connection. The .onion domain which is the main
source of onion deep web links.
Once the installation is successful you need a pretty good search
engine to do the tedious task because of the onion url’s which are
alphanumeric in nature that’s where grams(Google of darknet) comes in to ease the searching.
Venturing into this hidden part of the
internet will reveal a lot of stuffs both legal and illegal, majorly
illegal. Such terms keeps on repeating bitcoin, silk road, dark markets, illegal drugs, contract killers, porn and weapons business.
Even a documentary film “The Deep Web” was made by Alex winter to discover about how it is actually. Including to the Kyle Terry and Jamie Bartlett
Timeline of Deep Web
It all started back in the 2000’s when
the tor project was found by U.S naval and later on became an Non-Profit
Organization from that day it’s been serving for users to become
anonymous to surf the internet.
And another Big thing was the Bitcoin in 2009 which is a cryptocurrency (Digital currency).A person can buy and sell these from exchanges and why is it favoured because transactions done in these are completely anonymous.
The main link between “Deep Web” and
“Bitcoin” was revealed to the world on the incident of silk road(Dark
Markets) which is one among the many dark web markets, where the man behind it Dread Pirate Roberts(DPR) was arrested and it was shut down.
After this event,some of the world renowned organizations like NASA , Canadian Federal Police are developing Deep web crawlers for indexing them similar to a search engine.
