Deep Web

Just recently stumbled upon this whole deep web thing, just wondering more about it. What is it in a layman's terms? What good is in it? I have read about the the evil in it. Just looking for what the computer geniuses on here have to say about it...

Deep Web - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Web)

basically anything hidden behind passwords, irc, tor networks, usenet, dynamically created content, etc.

basically anything hidden behind passwords, irc, tor networks, usenet, dynamically created content, etc.

Which is probably 85% of web content. Most of the web is "deep"

Is it illeagle? What ramifications could happen if a common person goes out there??? I mean I read that you should cover your web cam, and be careful of what links you go on... Any info on that???

well, some tor site have the bad pr0n or are used to launder money/bitcoin, and plenty of piracy stuff is floating around but the vast majority is just the same old boring stuff that's been around forever. I mean, people have been pirating software since the 1970s at least using ham radios or rc 232 modems.

so the ramifications are, if you don't notice it, then there's probably not much to worry about. if this site required you to login to see posts, it'd be part of the "deep web" too. it's just another silly term.

While I'm sure not EVERYTHING on there is the evil and illegal stuff you here about, there is a lot of drug, illegal weapon and sex trade (prostitutes, child porn, sex slavery trade) goes on there. Also, you'll probably see some images that scar you for life....from perverted to gruesome inhumanity. You can hire a hitman as easily as buying a book from Amazon.

I'm staying far away. I've heard enough to know I do not want to see these types of things.

Also heard there's a whole monetary system set up on it to buy drugs. You purchase another supposedly non-traceable type of online coin/credits and use that to make your purchases.

I'm sure you'll be monitored by the Government after you "find" yourself onto it.

^ Are you talking about Silk Road?

That's just one site out there, it doesn't represent the deep web as a whole.

Yeah, I said that.

You watched the second season of house of cards, didn't you.
