DID YOU KNOW

• The web you know – Facebook, Wikipedia, makes up less than 1% of the entire World Wide Web.

• When you surf the Web, you really are just floating at the surface. Dive below and there are tens of trillions of pages -- that most people have never seen.

• The deep Web may be 400 to 500 times bigger that the surface Web

DID YOU KNOW

WHAT IS THE DEEP WEB? • The deep Web (also known as the undernet, invisible

Web and hidden Web, among other monikers) consists of data that you won't locate with a simple Google search.

• It is hundreds (or perhaps even thousands) of times bigger that the surface Web.

• Users really do intentionally bury data. Often, these parts of the Web are accessible only if you use special browser software that helps to peel away the onion-like layers of the dark Web.

You can find illegal goods and activities of all kinds through the dark Web. That includes illicit

drugs, child pornography, stolen credit card numbers, human trafficking, weapons, exotic

animals, copyrighted media and etc.

WHAT IS TOR? • Also know as the The Onion Router • People use Tor so that their web activity can’t be

traced. • Tor is software that installs into your browser

and sets up the specific connections you need to access dark Web sites. • Instead of seeing domains

that end in .com or .org, these hidden sites end in .onion.

The deep Web will continue to perplex and fascinate everyone who uses the Internet. It contains an enthralling amount of knowledge that could help us evolve technologically and as a species when connected to other bits of information.
