What is the difference between deep web and dark web?

-

When you think of a deep web, what comes to mind? Illegal activities? Phishing and fraud? Bitcoin?

Alright, you will be fine ... and a little wrong. These are examples of things found on the dark web, a collection of websites that have hidden IP addresses and may require certain software to access. The dark web is only a small part (0.01%) of the inner web, which contains internet content that cannot be searched by your standard search engine. In other words, if Google can't find what you are looking for, it might still be out there on the World Wide Web; It's only on the web in a more difficult access to access. (If Google can find it, then it's on the surface web, which forms around 0.03% of the internet.)

Deep web and dark web have been compiled in public discourse. Most people do not know that webs contain most benign sites, such as password-protected e-mail accounts, certain parts of paid subscription services such as Netflix, and sites that can only be accessed through online forms. (Just imagine if someone can access your gmail inbox with just googling your name!) Also, the web inside is very large: back in 2001, an estimated 400-550 times greater than the web surface, and has grown exponentially since then ,


In comparison, the dark web is quite small: a dark number website in just thousands. Web sites on the dark web are characterized by the use of their encryption software that makes users and their location anonymously. That's why illegal activities are very common on dark web: users can resist their identity; The owners of illegal websites can hide their location; and data can be transferred anonymously. This means that the dark web is full of illegal transactions and firearms, pornography, and gambling transactions. The famous online black market named Silk Road was closed by the FBI in 2013.


But the dark web is not completely dark. It is also used by political coatings, activists, and journalists who may be censored or can risk political retaliation if they are found by their government. Especially, the Wikileaks website has a house on a dark web.

The eternal heritage of the treasure island

  When we think of pirates, there are almost universal images that comes to mind, which have been enshrined throughout pop culture. Pirates has developed a sufficient reputation to say things like "shivering me wood!" and "Arr!" And because it has peg legs - maybe even wearing a parrot on their shoulders. This pirate idea, well the way they talk and the way they see, mostly come from the popular novel island and one of the film adaptations. Unfortunately, it might not have a lot of bearings in reality. Treasure island serialized in magazines from October 1881 to January 1882 and published in the book form in 1883. It was written by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson under the pseudonym "Captain George North." This novel follows the Protagonist of the Youth Jim Hawkins, who found himself having a map that leads to buried treasures. It sounds familiar, right? Jim led the reader on the wild adventure, met a pirate like a one-legged captain John Silver an

What is the difference between emojis and emoticons?

  The internet has very changed the way we communicate . Because body language and verbal tones are not translated in our text or email message, we have developed an alternative way to deliver nuanced meaning. The most prominent change for our online style is the addition of two new hieroglif languages: emoticons and emojis. Let's start with the older than both: emoticons. Emoticons are punctuation, letters, and numbers used to make illustrated icons that generally display emotions or sentiments . (It's actually where the portmanteau "emoticon" comes from: an emotional icon.) Oh, and because of the limit of our keyboard, most emoticons need to be read to the side. Emoticons appeared after a wrong joke at Carnegie Mellon University in 1982. Gag about fake mercury spills posted to the online message board sent the university to Tizi, and because of this confusion, Scott E. Fahlman suggested jokes and non-pekes marked by two sets The character we now recognizes as a st
