What is the Deep Web and how does it
differ from the Dark Web?The Internet is often depicted as an iceberg, and the vast majority of us
move on the surface of it. Underneath it all is deep and dark, and it is not
uncommon to not know exactly what the layers underneath are: the Deep Web and
the Dark Web.
Many users relate these areas of the Internet to criminal activities: selling
drugs, pornography of all kinds, hiring assassins, and a long etcetera. It is
true that we may come across this type of content, but there is much more. We
must first know the differences and how we can access these “hidden” areas.
What is Deep Web?
If you are reading this article, it means that you are exploring the surface
of the Internet (Clearnet). The pages and information you access using a
search engine such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. are always in this “visible”
area
This means that the vast majority of users (an estimated 90%) only browse the
Clearnet. Interestingly, this layer of the Internet only occupies between 4
and 10% of the totel network. It is time to go @ little deeper to find out
more details.
‘The Internet layer we see only represents between 4 and 10% of the total
The Deep Web is content that is not easily accessible from search engines. It
should be made clear that, although it has a reputation for it, the Deep Web
should not be associated directly with drugs or weapons. The Deep Web is not
synonymous with illegal activity.The data on the Deep Web is publicly accessible, although special access is
required to access it. Here we can find company databases (hospitals, Social
Security..), private forums, folders in Dropbox, Drive, etc
Dark Web vs Deep Web
It is common to confuse the Deep Web and the Dark Web, although they are two
very different layers. If the Deep Web represents 90% of the Internet, the
Dark Web would occupy only 0.1% of the totel, being content that has been
intentionally hidden. Proprietary domains are used (e.g. .onion or .i2p) and
can only be accessed through programs such as Tor

Here the image of an Internet zone where the illegal ac
above can be found does come true. Obviously, this type of
indexed by search engines either. As we can see, the Dark Web is part of the
Deep Web, but they are two totally different things
The Dark Web only represents 0.1% of the total InternetThe Dark Web is made up of the content that can be found in different
Darknets (networks that can only be accessed with a specific program). TOR is
‘the most widely used and well-known tool, although, as we shall see, there
are other options
Not everything is crime and drugs in the Dark Web, and there are many
interesting and constructive pages in this layer of the network. If you are
still interested, we will now explain how to access this hidden area of the
Internet
Cémo acceder a la Dark Web
The first thing to do is to go directly to the TOR website and download the
version compatible with your operating system and language. One of the
positive points of this browser is that you can place it directly on USB,
surfing privately wherever and whenever you want
There are other browsers to access the Darknet (Freenet, Tor, GNUnet, 12P,
OneSwarm, RetroShare, etc.) but TOR is the best known option for surfing the
Dark Web.
By default, when you open TOR you will be able to access directly to
DuckDuckGO, a search engine where you will be able to find .onion pages
First of all, we must access the Dark Web with a lot of patience, as the
pages tend to load very slowly
‘The Hidden Wiki can be a good sterting point, with a large number of linked
onion pages and their descriptions. From here we may end up browsing some
pretty surprising pages, for better or worse.Before entering the Dark Web, the best thing to do is to be well informed. If
we do not really know what we are doing, the best thing to do is to stay in
the area of the Internet that we know and avoid possible scares
