What is Deepnet or Darknet??

A search, using a search engine like Google or Bing, generally returns some millions of pages for every keyword typed. You can try to estimate Internet’s size by thinking of how many websites would be there, if people are using ‘n’ number of keywords to search for information. This part of Internet is just what is visible. But there exists, within the countless websites, an Internet that is beyond the scope of search engines and general browsing. This is the Darknet, Deepnet, Deep Web, Invisible Web or Hidden Internet.

 The websites on Darknet are anonymous, i.e., you cannot tell who the website are, owners when visiting such Darknet websites. Websites in Darknet are sites that are using the Tor (The Onion Router) network. The basis of Tor network is to include so many nodes that the origin cannot trace where the data is going or where it is coming from

Normal browsers cannot open the Darknet websites whose top level domains are .onion because they are not normal domain names, but a string of random characters followed with .onion. These domain names are created by Onion when you host your anonymous websites using the Onion or Tor network.

How to access Darknet and Deepnet?

You will need two things to access the Darknet:

1. A browser that can resolve .onion websites;
2. A URL or directory that contains URLs to different websites or class of websites so that you know what to type in into the browsers’ address bar

To being with, the Onion Directory of Darknet is the safest bet. It has checked the URLs to see where they lead and has classified them accordingly. You can get to the Onion directory of Darknet at

 http://am4wuhz3zifexz5u.onion/.

Remember that you can open the link using TOR only. If you use ordinary browser, they cannot resolve the address, as .onion is not a real domain and the DNS servers would fail to retrieve its location

Who uses Darknet or Deepnet? Is it Dangerous?

 It could be as simple as a group of friends who do are discussing serious issues, or it could be something as dangerous as an assassin offering his services.
 There are whistle-blowers who let out information without the fear of getting caught – and there there are websites that show child porn.Most of the Darknet is misused by the criminal types. This is because it offers almost full anonymity.
 They are there to sell services such as pay-to-kill (assassin services), porn of all types, prostitutes, banned-drug sellers, weed-sellers etc. That is why Darknet is considered to be dangerous.And if anything goes wrong, the police would be knocking on your doors.

How to stay safe on Darknet or Deepnet?

There are some precautions I will list here to stay safe on the Darknet. Remember that while you are browsing the Darknet, police authorities too are browsing with an aim to figure out who is hosting websites and who all are using visiting criminal websites. Among the main things to keep in mind are:

• Use TOR for anonymity (That’s a must);
• Though TOR is already a little slow, as there are n number of nodes      to traverse, use a VPN for further anonymity;
• Turn off running scripts in the TOR options (click the button just    before the address bar). This is because most of the sites in Darknet are criminal in nature. If you land on one, they might want to trace       you down. And scripts created using JavaScript can be dangerous if they manage to store something on your computer.
• Think twice before you click any link from directory dumps as the links may or may not be what they are categorized as. The safest Darknet directory is the TOR Library so it is better to start from there.
• DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING TO YOUR COMPUTER. No BitTorrents and no downloads as they may give away your actual IP when storing things to your computer. That could spell trouble.

Darknet Search Engines

Normal search engines cannot help you with retrieving website URLs for what you are seeking. You can use The Tor Search Engine called Torch or the Duck Duck Go’s .onion version to search for websites. Remember that these search results cannot be depended upon, as the websites’ description might show something that is way different than what the website actually is. You have to be careful in clicking the links.
The Duck Duck Go’s Darknet version is accessible using TOR at http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion. It will give you whatever you want. Again, links can be misleading so be careful before clicking your way into the deeper realms of Darknet.
The Tor Library, mentioned above, also has a list of search engines that can search within .onion domains to return results that could be of use to you. If you are new to the Darknet, the best way to get started is to use The Tor Library for browsing as the links there have been checked for inconsistency and will keep you off dangerous sites and dirty sites.
