dark web
To fully understand the dark web and its contents, you first have to understand that the internet is in its entirety a global network that consists of three layers: the surface web, the deep web and the dark web.
The surface web is the first layer of the internet that we use for every normal day activities like online shopping, reading the news, browsing, and social media. The surface web is also safer than the deep and dark web, but just because it's safer than those two doesn't mean you're not at risk. While surfing the surface web, the websites you visit try to identify and profile you, they do this via you're IP address and provider, your hardware, installed software, configurations (keyboard and language settings etc.). If you continue to see the web as an iceberg, the surface web would be part of the top portion, the collective of data and websites makes up under 5% of the internet. The deep web is under the surface and contains approximately 90% of all websites on the internet. The deep web points to parts to the internet that are not fully accessible to everyone, for instance not everybody can access your bank account, but they can access the bank itself. The deep web consists of the surface and the dark web. The dark web consists of sites that are only accessible via specialized web browsers, the dark web is also the bottom tip of the submerged iceberg. The dark web is very anonymous so Google and other normal search tools can display results for pages in the dark web, going on the dark web is perfectly legal. The dark web is the deepest and most dangerous of the three layers. If you want to know more press on the image .
