| Titre | How to prevent crime on the Deep Web and Dark Web |
| Texte |
Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989, and then it became available to the general public by 1991. The web is an internet service that was designed to help scientists and academics exchange information more effectively. But by the late 1990s, the web helped to make the internet popular and accessible to ordinary people all over the world. Over thirty years after Berners-Lee’s first proposal for the web-- that technology has revolutionized everyone’s lives.
Google emerged as the most popular way to search the web by the 21st century, with Bing and DuckDuckGo as frequently used alternatives. But there’s loads of web content that’s delivered through the HTTP and HTTPS protocols that cannot be found through conventional means.
When cyber criminals want to exchange information on the web, the smart ones avoid the parts of the web that are easy to track. Innovations in networking technology led to the creation of a part of the web that can only be reached by fully encrypted anonymizing proxy networks. Are those cyber criminals doing anything your business should be worried about? Deep Web and Dark Web are popular buzzwords these days, so what does it all mean?
The Deep Web and the Dark Web sound elusive and esoteric, but I can make it all easy to understand.
Deep Web versus Dark Web: What's the difference?
People very frequently confuse the Deep Web with the Dark Web and vice versa.
The Deep Web consists of all of the parts of the web which aren’t indexed by popular search engines like Google or DuckDuckGo. It’s not all a criminal red light district zone, in fact the majority of it is pretty innocuous. I made Angelfire and GeoCities websites as a 90s’ teen, years before Facebook, Google, or YouTube ever existed. I’d be a bit embarrassed for you to find the Spice Girls fan site I made back then, but it’s all perfectly legal and Safe For Work.
Most of the Deep Web is just stuff that’s too old or obscure to be found by one of Google’s web crawler bots that they use to help maintain their search engine. You can use your regular web browser to access much of the Deep Web, but you may need to use web archives in order to find what you want. The Wayback Machine is great for this purpose.
The Dark Web is also a part of the Deep Web. The Dark Web is the part of the Deep Web that can only be accessed through encrypted anonymizing proxy networks such as Tor or I2P. You will need to install special software on your PC or phone in order to use them. Those proxy networks are great for purposes like helping journalists in hostile territories report on war and politics. But because those proxies use cryptography and lots of relays in order to make servers and endpoints difficult to track, they also help to facilitate cyber crime.
Think of it this way. All Dark Web is Deep Web, but not all Deep Web is Dark Web, as all apples are fruit, but not all fruit are apples. All of the internet that’s outside of proxy networks like I2P or Tor is often referred to as the “clearnet,” in contrast with the “darknet.”
Types of cyber crime in 2019
Cyber criminals will often choose to use the Dark Web in order to engage in their malicious activities. The Dark Web is full of illegal marketplaces and forums where criminal activity is advertised and communicated about. If you install I2P software or the |
