By Arfan RaihenPublished 8 months ago 4 min read

You must have heard about the Dark Web. People are a little more interested in this web. However, many of us may have heard about Dark Web but did not enter this web. Only this web remains curious about.


Many people say that there are many strange things on the Dark Web and this web is very scary. But, is it really scary and illegal to use, what you remember? What do you know about the Dark Web? Most people listen to people about the Dark Web.


And like others, you may have heard about this web from someone else. Most of what people know about Dark Web come from others, police reports or news. From here, like other technologies, rumors begin to spread.

And with these rumors, many positive or negative news about the Dark Web is exaggerated. Most rumors are like myths. However, these myths and the truth are somewhat indicative of the truth.


But, even though the Dark Web has been promoted a lot, it is not really big. So, what is the real story of Dark Web and what is the truth? In this tune today I have mentioned a few myths about the Dark Web and the real truth of it. By doing so, your false idea about Dark Web will change.

1. Only bad people use the Dark Web if you want to do something bad on the Internet or find out such content, you need to use the Dark Web, right? Your idea is definitely wrong. Because, the surface web can also be used to do bad things on the Internet.

And, the Dark Web is a hidden place, where there is a little more security. However, the Surface Web and the Dark Web are the same for a criminal.


The Dark Web has many uses. There are many criminals, their own privacy -conscious people, many political disagreements, many other users. Many good people also enter this web to do the work they need.



2. All Cyber ​​Crime takes place on the Dark Web, and you may have more ideas that all cyber crimes occur on the Dark Web, right? In fact, this idea is wrong.


Basically most of the crimes in the cyber world take place in the cleare net. That is, the surface web we use every day, this is where most of the crimes are committed here.


Since most of the world's Internet user uses this part, this is the priority for cyber criminals to organize criminal acts.


And on the other hand, the Dark Web is a safe and easy place to collect and exchange information of cyber criminals.


Different cyber criminals collect different ways from the Surface Web. In this case it can be hacking or collecting information by entering the malware of one's device.


They then chose the Dark Web to sell those information. There are underground hacking forums, Darknet Market and other such services.


Where they can easily exchange information without surveillance. And here cryptocurrency is used as a means of exchange. As a result, no person's identity can be identified.

So now it is clear to you that you have to suffer more cyber crime on the surface web than the Dark Web.


And, through the surface web, the risk of cyber attack is high. And, it is mainly sold on the Dark Web by hacking a user information from the Surface Web.


3. The magnitude of the Dark Web uses the huge Dark Web to present the vastness of the Dark Web. As an example, you see the image above.

We have seen many such presentations on the Dark Web in different places. In many places, it has been said that the Dark Web web is much higher than the Internet used.


However, the above image cannot be determined by the vastness of the Dark Web or its accuracy. So you also think that different parts of the Internet, such as: Surface Web, Deep Web and Dark Web do not work.

The Internet we use every day or the "clear ate" we use is made up of billions of websites.


The part is then on the Internet, the Deep Web, which you also use regularly. However, the data at this level is not indexed in the search engine and none other than the specific person can see.


These include: various academic databases, banking portals, internal company network, your web mail account and other data. It is never possible to search Google in these data.

Your Google Drive information to you is always safe. Because they are kept safe by your Gmail password. This information can only be found when a person can take control of your Gmail. Outside of this, no person will find these search engines.


Since your information is on the Internet drive, they include Deep Web. And in this way, thousands of billions of people have information on the Deep Web, which no one knows. And the Deep Web covers the biggest place on the Internet in terms of information.

Dark Web is impossibly smaller than Clear Net. The website of this web is estimated to be like 20 to 5. The main browser to use the Dark Web is "Tor". It controls thousands of ransomwar notes and other malware.


There are many ransomwar variants, who ask those who are attacked by it to come to Dark-Wab to pay the ransom. In this case, they use cryptocurrency as a means of transaction.
