Assignment Difference btw Deep & Dark Web

Surface web:
There's a hidden part of the internet that is much larger than the parts of the
web you use every day.

When you're checking your email, shopping online, or Face booking, you are
using what is referred to as the "Surface Web" or "Visible Web."

The Visible Web consists of websites that are indexed by normal search
engines, like Google or Yahoo. According to one estimate, there are at least 4
billion indexed web pages.

While this seems huge, a much larger part of the web lurks below the Surface
Web and isn't indexed.

This part of the web is called the "Deep Web."

The Deep Web

Here's the easiest way to think about the Deep Web: It's all the data behind
firewalls. Think user databases, business intranets, web archives, password-
protected websites, etc.

By some estimates, this part of the internet is estimated to be 400 to 500 times
as large as the Surface Web.
Sometimes you will hear the term Deep Web used interchangeably with "Dark
Web," but they aren't really the same thing.

The Dark Web

The Dark Web actually refers to a set of accessible, albeit anonymously hosted,
websites that exist within the Deep Web.

Because these websites are not indexed by normal search engines, you can
access them only with special software that disguises your IP address.

The most common software used to access the the Dark Web is The Onion
Browser, referred to as TOR.

The Dark Web is much smaller than the Deep Web, and it's made up of
numerous types of sites. But it's perhaps most popular for its anonymous
marketplaces that often sell illegal products like drugs or weapons.
