territories, we believe that\nadventure on the \u201chidden\u201d side of the Web, better known as \u201cDeep Web\u201d (translation:\nWeb Deep) and its darkest side called \u201cDark Web\u201d must be considered perilous\nand extremely&nbsp;dangerous&nbsp;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The objective of this article is certainly not to \u201ctrain\u201d\nyou to explore the \u201cDeep Web\u201d and even less to explore the \u201cDark Web\u201d, it is\nsaid.&nbsp;The purpose of this article is to draw up the risks run by the\nInternet user wishing to surf on the \u201cVisible Web\u201d (Web Surface) or towards\nunknown and \u201cwild\u201d territories\u2026 It goes without saying that a good\nunderstanding of the subject is a prerequisite before going further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article is intended for curious and information-hungry\npeople, as well as Internet users who use their computer equipment, their\nnetwork equipment, their Internet subscription (ISP) and their software\ntools.&nbsp;You have certainly understood that anyone using computer hardware,\nsoftware and an internet subscription that does not belong to them for\nmalicious purposes is considered to be \u201chackers\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is \u201cWeb Surfacique\u201d?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cWeb Surface\u201d is by definition the whole accessible and\nvisible part of the Web.&nbsp;&nbsp;It just means that all the approved and\navailable search engines you use, from your internet connection (ISP) and your\ncomputer, will only return indexed results of links (URLs), websites and\ncontent that are referenced. and approved by the publishers of these same\nsearch engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More generally, the \u201cSurfacic Web\u201d is the accessible side of\nthe online Web indexed by search engines such as \u201cGoogle\u201d, \u201cBing\u201d, \u201cAsk\u201d,\nLeMoteur \u201d, Dazoo \u200b\u200bFR\u201d, \u201cDuckDuckGo\u201d, \u201c Lycos \u201d,\u201c Exalead \u201d,\u201c Gigablast \u201d,\u201c\nSukoga \u201d,\u201c Wopa \u201d,\u201c Yahoo \u201d,\u201c Premsgo \u201d,\u201c Qwant \u201detc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is \u201cDeep Web\u201d?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cDeep Web\u201d is by definition the whole accessible and\ninvisible part of the Web.&nbsp;This means that all the conventional, approved\nand available search engines that you use, from your Internet connection (ISP)\nand your computer, will never index and return links, content and websites that\nare not referenced and not approved by the publishers of these same search\nengines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More generally, the \u201cDeep Web\u201d is the invisible and\naccessible part of the online Web that cannot be found and never indexed by the\nusual and most reputable search engines (non-exhaustive list section I).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cDeep Web\u201d vs \u201cDark Web\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rightly or wrongly, the&nbsp;\u201cDeep Web\u201d and the \u201cDark\nWeb\u201d&nbsp;are often confused and assimilated to the same \u201cdigital footprint\u201d of\nthe Invisible Web, it&#8217;s a \u201c&nbsp;Tor&nbsp;\u201d&nbsp;!&nbsp;A human fingerprint is\nconsidered&nbsp;anonymous&nbsp;when it is not possible to identify the person\nwho owns this fingerprint.&nbsp;The only way to identify the person will be to\nconfuse (compare) this anonymous fingerprint with other fingerprints left\n(traces).&nbsp;In the latter case, the individual will have to hide and isolate\nhimself from the world to preserve his anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By analogy with the human footprint, a digital footprint is\nalways visible and accessible on the Web.&nbsp;In the&nbsp;\u201cDeep Web\u201d&nbsp;,\nthe digital footprint is never hidden since it always remains visible and\naccessible, it is therefore just UNFOUNDED, by analogy to the example of the\nhuman footprint.&nbsp;In the \u201cDark Web&nbsp;\u201c, the digital footprint crosses\ndifferent isolated networks making anonymous or almost anonymous and hidden all\nthe exchanges between \u201cfriendly people\u201d of the same isolated\nnetwork.&nbsp;Originally, these isolated networks were populated by completely\nanonymous \u201cfriend\u201d individuals using a \u201cF2F\u201d (Friend To Freind) network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the \u201cDark Web\u201d is built around a core of software\nlike \u201cTor\u201d thus removing the notion of \u201cF2F\u201d network.&nbsp;De facto, the\nwebsites and content explored through \u201cthe Tor Network\u201d are part of the \u201cDark\nWeb\u201d, not the \u201cDeep Web\u201d!&nbsp;Total anonymity across the Web and the \u201cDark\nWeb\u201d is therefore relative and dependent on exchanges and traces spread by\nInternet users, to the extent that their \u201cisolation\u201d remains inversely\nproportional to their risk-taking\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Risks of potentially dangerous encounters on the Web and \u201cDeep Web \/ Dark Web\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For obvious reasons impacted by this delicate and sensitive\ninformation, I wanted to make you aware as a precaution of the different types\nof threats to which you are exposed in the \u201cDeep Web\u201d and the \u201cDark\nWeb\u201d.&nbsp;Here is a non-exhaustive list of potential risks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Meet the puzzles<\/li><li>Meeting with viruses<\/li><li>Meeting with hitmen<\/li><li>Meet illegal online shops\n     of all kinds<\/li><li>Meeting with \u201cmilitarized\u201d\n     journalism<\/li><li>Meeting with global terror<\/li><li>Meet the pirate stock markets<\/li><li>Meeting with human madness<\/li><li>Meeting with mass\n     terrorism<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating the Web and its \u201cdeep waters\u201d (Deep Web and Dark\nWeb) is therefore a very dangerous terrain where various threats are concealed\nwhich should not be taken lightly!&nbsp;Government departments specializing in\nCybercrime and Cyber \u200b\u200bDefense are rightly present in the \u201cDeep Web\u201d and the\n\u201cDark Web\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where the notion of legality comes into play, to the\nextent that it has been compromised by the user (consumer)!&nbsp;Without going\ninto a controversial debate, I will voluntarily imagine this situation by\ntaking the example of a known place in Holland called \u201cLe Red Light\u201d (Red Light\nDistrict).&nbsp;In this very popular \u201cRed Light\u201d district where various legal\nand illegal activities coexist and take place, everyone has the right to visit\nit freely and anonymously.&nbsp;The Dutch Police and Intelligence services are\nalso part of the landscape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They circulate freely anonymously like everyone\nelse!&nbsp;As soon as a consumer (visitor) decides to buy a product listed as\ndangerous and illegal in a \u201chidden\u201d place (anonymity), the police are entitled\nto arrest him and to institute legal proceedings against him .&nbsp;These legal\nrules apply in the same way on the Web as well as the \u201cDark Web\u201d and the \u201cDeep\nWeb\u201d!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are aware of the ever-growing
