The Dark side of the Internet !!
First we start with Deep Web, which is essentially all things that do not come up in a search engine.It is simply the content of databases and other web services that for one or the other reason cannot be indexed by conventional search engines.Web crawlers (the program used by a search engine to look through web pages)lack the ability to access certain areas of the web.Example, any page that requires a username or password protected.That includes your online bank account, PayPal, Facebook etc. It is actually the majority of the web.
By some estimates, it is 500 times larger than the surface Web that most people search every day. According to a study published in Nature, Google indexes no more than 16 percent of the surface Web and misses all of the Deep Web. Any given search turns up just 0.03 percent of the information that exists online (one in 3,000 pages).
So what is Dark Web? The dark web also known as darknet is the vast digital background where you can buy illegal things such as drugs or guns.You can hire a hitman or even a fake identity for yourself.Well, it is actually an underground where hackers, gangsters, pedophiles, and terrorists ply their trade.The dark web is similar to the deep web in the respect that it is hidden from the surface web.However dark web is not websites that are not linked, rather it is purposely hidden. The most famous content that resides on the dark web is found in the TOR Network .
How does Dark Web work?
It is obviously a very complex subject but basically, rather than using your own connection to access sites on the deep web you use your connection to tell another computer to get the contents of the site and give it back to you. That computer asks the same thing of a bunch of other computers and you setup what's called a "Relay".
All of the computers that are doing the relaying are doing it for free and not tracking any information, so when someone tries to snoop on your internet all they can see is you asking some random computer for info and getting back info, encrypted both ways. They can attempt to snoop on the computer that you are communicating with but they are all over the world and the ones on the end of the chain are very well guarded. The consequence of this is generally a pretty slow system and if the computer at the end of the chain is found then it breaks down and the site goes offline.Although you still cannot be tracked due to them having to go back through the possibly thousands of nodes in the relay to get to you, and even if they did all they would have is a garbled mess of encrypted information that cannot be used against you.
How to access Dark web/Deep web?
Deep Web/Dark Web can be accessed using any of these 2 networks
What all things are happening in there?
What follows is nothing but a cursory sampling of goods and services available within the Dark web

Pounds, euro, dirham, yen are available as fake money.They vary widely in quality and cost.Three hundred dollars gets you $1250 in Counterfeit U.S notes, promised to pass ultraviolet-light tests.Moreover, we should not use our regular credit or debit card or even Paypal for buying services provided in the Dark web.A virtual currency "Bitcoin" is the mode of payment and the currency is designed in such a way that your identity is kept anonymous.It is the currency which is outside of the control of any authority or government and therefore used for illegal activities.
Guns, Ammunition, and Explosives
A dedicated website "Armory" lets you buy any type of illegal firearms such as handguns and explosives.They are shipped all over the world in specially shielded packages to avoid x-ray scanners or send them inside toys, instruments or electronics.
